In most cases, yes. The more dense compound(s) will sink to the bottom, while the lighter (and for our purposes) less dense ones will stay near the surface. If you're speaking from a geological stand point,(eg. - sedimentary rocks) then no, most of the layering is NOT a product of different densities.

What are the densities of freshwater and saltwater?
the densities are different (Saltwater has a greater density than freshwater.)
What is the narrow region separating two air masses of different densities?
Fronts
Rocks that erodes to expose layering is?
Rock that erodes to expose layering is known as sedimentary rock.
Stratification of sediments and rocks?
Layering
Do foliated rocks have layers?
Non-foliated metamorphic rocks generally do not have distinct layering.
What is water stratification?
Water stratification is the layering of water with different temperatures and densities in natural water bodies, such as lakes and oceans. This layering can occur due to differences in temperature, salinity, and density, which can create distinct layers that do not mix easily. Water stratification can impact nutrient distribution, oxygen levels, and the overall health of aquatic ecosystems.
How many cubic meters of liquid fuel in a ton?
The answer will depend on what the fuel is. Different components of petroleum have different densities and so a ton will occupy different volumes.The answer will depend on what the fuel is.

If two solids have the same masses but different volumes they have?
If two solids have the same masses but different volumes they have different densities.
How can you use materials of different densities?
I dont no
Do lead and sand have different densities?
yes
What is layering in music?
layering is when you add more and more layers of different instruments on top of each other, creating a more tonal, diminished sound.
Will different volume of the same substance have the same density or different densities?
no
What causes ocean water to have different densities?
Different salt concentrations.
Could different air masses have different densities?
Yes, that is possible.
How can the volume of two substances be the same but the mass be different?
They have different densities.
How does the speed of sound of change for mediums of different densities compressibilities and temperature?
The speed of sound of change for mediums of different densities compressibilities and temperature because different densities give different resistance to the sound. It blacks more of ht sound the denser the object is,, and give more when the object is less dense.
Why does honey float on detergent?
Because they have different densities.
