If by "oil" you mean petroleum (as opposed to olive oil) then YES, petroleum makes many animals, especially aquatic birds (like penguins and ducks) sink. The reason for this is that the petroleum sticks to their feathers giving them less maneuverability. As concerns aquatic mammals and fishes, the petroleum gets into their skin/scales and makes them less buoyant.
What else can I help you with?
Can temperature make oil sink in water?
Yes, it may make oil sink if at some temperature the density of water goes lesser than that of oil.
Will oil make an object float or sink?
It depends on the density of the object and the density of the oil. If the object has a higher density than the oil, it will sink. If the object has a lower density than the oil, it will float.
How can you make oil sink?
You can carefully pour several different viscosity oils into a glass and see different layers of oil. Even two different types would "sink" the heavier oil.
What liquid can ice sink in?
Vegetable oil? == == Any liquid that float over the water will make the ice sink if placed on it.Kerosene, gasoline, and some oils.
What is the tool in science that if you put in water it doesn't sink and in olive oil it does?
When you put a science tool in water it doesn't sink and in olive oil it does sink
Will water float on oil?
No, water will sink in oil because oil is less dense than water. This causes the water to be heavier and sink below the oil.
Will a marble sink faster in oil or water?
A marble will sink faster in water than in oil because water has a higher density than oil. The higher the density of the liquid, the faster an object will sink in it.
Does an object sink faster in water vinegar or vegatable oil?
why does an object sink
What animal was used to make oil for lamps cooking and soaps?
whales
How can I tell if it's an animal hole or a sink hole?
usaully an animal hole wont be to big and the ground around the sink hole may be soft.
Would sinkers in water sink in oil?
Yes, sinkers in water would sink in oil because sinkers are denser than oil and therefore will sink regardless of the medium in which they are placed. The buoyant force acting on the sinker is not strong enough to float in oil.
Will ebony sink or float in olive oil?
Ebony wood is known for its density, which is significantly greater than that of water. Since olive oil is less dense than water, ebony will sink in olive oil. Therefore, if placed in olive oil, ebony will sink rather than float.
