Buoyancy: The ability to displace water and remain afloat.
Emergency (or reserve) Buoyancy in small boats is provided by chambers filled with foam or just sealed so water cant get in. Thus the boat can't sink preventing disaster
For larger ships the same effect is achieved by separating the sections of the vessel into water tight chambers. Normally the goal is to divide large ships so that damage that allows water into two or even three chambers does not result in the loss of the ship.

Why is the buoyancy force of dead sea so large?
The extreme salinity - saltiness - means the water there has a higher density than regular sea water. and the higher the density the greater the buoyancy.
Is the buoyancy of the Dead Sea because of the hyper salinity and is buoyancy experienced in lake Asal?
Salt does make a difference in buoyancy but if there is no salt then you shouldn't sink to the bottom. Your head will go under. Every object has some degree of buoyancy in water. Some have enough so that they float, others do not. _______ Actually, the Dead Sea is not 'buoyant'. Buoyancy is a property of a solid object you put in the water. The salinity of the dead sea increases the specific gravity of its water. Specific gravity is to liquids as density is to solids. So the water of the Dead Sea has a very high specific gravity.
How do i help to pollute our sea?
Polluting the sea is a bad thing to do, it kills sea life and harms the environment of the planet. You should therefore be seeing ways to avoid doing this not trying to help pollute it.
What are the release dates for Hollywood Science - 2006 Disasters at Sea 1-2?

Where are airships used?
The USA uses airships to protect its sea areas, and to act as spotters, especially against submarines in wartime, and helping with sea rescues in peace time. The Germans and British nations both developed airships, but did not use them for long after some terrible disasters caused by using highly inflammable gas to give them buoyancy to ride through the air.
During egg buoyancy project do you use sea salt or table salt?
both....and it depends what you are looking to measure if you are looking to measure buoyancy by comparing the two salts then this is the way to do it.
Why do ship float better at sea than in fresh water?
Sea water has salt, and therefore a higher density.
What natural disasters were in the book Island of the Blue Dolphins?
sea elephants, sea otter, cormorants, whales, dolphins, red fox, wild dogs, octopus
Why it is easier to sail a boat in sea water than river water?
Sea water contains many dissolved minerals and ions that cause it to be more dense than fresh water. Because of this, objects sea water exhibit greater buoyancy in sea water than fresh water (Objects displace an amount of water based on their volume but the buoyancy is determined by the weight of the water displaced). As a result, a ship will float higher in sea water, reducing the drag of the ship against the water while sailing. This effect of heightened buoyancy is also the reason people float so easily in high-salt lakes such as those in Utah and the Dead Sea.
Name 2 types of natural disasters that are linked to the sea or ocean?
Tsunamis, Underwater Earthquakes
What is the loading capacity of .95meters dia. x 3.5 meters buoyancy tank float in sea water?
1,200 loading capacity
What are the two challenges facing the people in the pacific when natural disasters occurs?
The two most dangerous disasters that occur in the pacific are earthquake/tsunami and rising sea level.For earthquakes, thechallengeis getting enough warning to avoid the tsunami and figuring out how to build to withstand an earthquake/tsunami.For sea level rise, the challenge is how can you live on an island when it is being covered with water. Currently, there is no organized action to reverse industrial pollution which raises temperature and causes the icecaps to melt and fill the ocean higher.
