how the thin outer crust is floating on the thick liquid mantle, causing the crust to move and form a divergent plate boundary
The floating liquid will have a lower density than the liquid it is floating on.
The floating liquid will have a lower density than the liquid it is floating on.
It is solids floating in liquid.
Upthrust from the liquid.
Its floating on a liquid.
pour yourself a glass of (water, oil, gasoline, turpentine, epoxy) and look at it.
Mixtures that have floating particles in them are called suspensions.
floating water baloons
You can't float but you can fly. (Floating implies liquid, and Pluto has no liquid that we know of).
If a body is floating IN a liquid, it has neutral buoyancy- does not go up or down. If it is floating ON a liquid, it has positive buoyancy. Neutral- when pressed down, body moves down- and when released, it stays there. Positive buoyancy- moves down, when released returns to it's position on top of the liquid.
Buoyancy
The volume of liquid displaced has the same mass as the floating object.
