Algae do not necessarily have to float on top of the water. Some species of algae have adapted to their environment and actually live underwater so they do not have the risk of drying out. The surface algae though floats because it is not very dense (tightly packed) so it has air bubbles that allows it to float.

Should a material have a higher or lower density to float in water?
A material needs a lower density than water to float in water. Ships float in water because their average density is lower than water. The average density includes the steel hull and the air inside the hull.
What is the analysis for can water float on water?
The ability for something to float on another substance is related to the density and since ice is LESS dense than water it would float on top of water, not water on top of ice.In other words, water is more dense than ice and thus no.
What will happen if oil mixed with warm water?
Not a lot, water and oil don't mix and so the oil will float on top of the water.
Tiny algae and animals that float in water?

What is algae's locomotion?
Algae float on the top of water and use photosynthesis. They all are producers and create glucose and oxygen.
When water and decane are mixed which layer will float on top?
Decane will float on top
Ice float on top of water?
Ice float on water because the density is lower.
Suppose you put a birthday caddle in a glass of water why will the caddle float on top of the water?

What are organisms that float near the surface of fresh water lakes?

How does a ship stay on top of water?
a ship stays on water frombuoyancy which makes it float. the saltier the water the more buoyancy there is, enabling more weight to float on top
Can solid float on top of water?
yep
Why does float water?
Because not sink on top!
Can hot water float on top of cold water?
Yes
