Increasing the salinity of fresh water makes the water denser. The denser the water the less deeply an object will sink into the water. The very saltiness of the Dead Sea, means that people can float on the surface without effort.
A ship, after displacing its weight, will float higher on the ocean, than it would if sailing on fresh water.

∙ 8y agoThe more saline a solution is the stronger the buoyant force acting on an object is. (This is because the buoyant force = density of fluid * displaced fluid volume * acceleration due to gravity AND the density of a more saline solution is greater than that of a less saline solution.) When the buoyant force is stronger, a floating object is pushed more out of the water, but not beyond the surface of the water.

How does mass affect floating and sinking objects?
Mass affects the density of a object which therefore affects the floating and sinking of it
How does buoyancy affect floating and sinking objects?
Buoyancy affects floating and sinking objects by it allowing it to sink or float. Buoyancy is an upward force that allows something to float on water so yeahs... yupp >___________<
How does density affect the floating and sinking of objects?
An object will float if it has less density than the fluid in which it is placed; if the object has more density, it will sink.
What keeps objects from floating into space?
gravity?
How does the salinity of the water affect an objects ability to float?
Salt water has salt (!) in it, ego it is denser and takes more weight to displace it; the reason things float in whatever. The denser the liquid, the higher things float
How does the salinity of water affect how well objects can float or sink in the water?
the higher the salinity the more easily an object can float
How does mass affect floating and sinking objects?
Mass affects the density of a object which therefore affects the floating and sinking of it
What are floating objects?
Floating Objects are objects that are less densethan water.
How does buoyancy affect floating and sinking objects?
Buoyancy affects floating and sinking objects by it allowing it to sink or float. Buoyancy is an upward force that allows something to float on water so yeahs... yupp >___________<
What factors affects salinity?
There are several factors that affect salinity. Some of the main factors include evaporation and precipitation which will affect the salinity of oceans and seas.
What does not affect salinity?
Chitin.
How does salinity affect the way objects sink or float?
When salt dissolves in water, it makes the water more dense, therefore water can hold more weight.
What does not affect ocean salinity?
Chitin.
How does density affect the floating and sinking of objects?
An object will float if it has less density than the fluid in which it is placed; if the object has more density, it will sink.
Does the stars are objects that floating in the sky?
NO
How does density affect currents?
Salinity and temperature
How does salinity affect ocean life?
