Is there more salt water or freshwater?
There is by far more saltwater in the world. The oceans of the world are saltwater, and by volume the oceans compose over ninety percent of Earth's water.
What energy can be used over and over again?
Wind, water, power from like a bike that you power by riding it yourself there is more than two! and more than this as well.
What benefit is it to duckweed to float on the surface of water?
Some people try to use Duckweed for fish and livestock food, while more and more people are trying it out as a tool for waste water treatment. For the smaller water body owner, Duckweed usually takes over the entire surface of the water, suffocating their fish.
Why does a drop of oil placed on the surface of water spread over the entire surface?
because the water has more density than the oil so the oil spreads only on the surface.
Would a density of 0.95 float in water?
Yes it will float. The density of pure water will always be 1.00, anything under that such as 0.95 or 0.43 etc will float. Anything over 1.00 will sink for example 1.65 or 3.40 etc.
Is there more iceberg over or under the water?
under
Why ice berg is over the water?
The iceberg is lighter than water, but not by much. The ice floats, but about 80% of the iceberg is under water.
Why was the titanic unable to float?
It was first able to float at the beginning but during the collision with the iceberg, tons of water rushed in, drowning people and making the boat heavier, it was eventually tipped over and dragged into the water. Answer: Water rushed in and dragged it under water.
What percentage of an iceberg's mass is above the waterline?
Between 10 to 20 percent of an iceberg mass is above water. An iceberg is a massive piece of floating ice. Usually, approximately 80 to 90 percent of an iceberg is below sea level. A very large iceberg can be over 230 feet in height and over 738 feet in width.
If an an iceberg as 90 percent of its body below the water level but a ship has 90 percent of its body above the water level then Why doesn't a big ship like a cuise ship roll over?
The iceberg rolls because it is constantly melting, casuing it scenter of mass to change. The ship is help upright by water displacement and the shape of the hull so it does not roll like an iceberg does.
Is Antarctica mostly over or under water?
I would say under water since Antarctica is a continent (land) that is mostly covered in ice and snow more so than the few glacial ice sheets that extend out over the water.
Can an iceberg roll over?
In a condition of warm water and cold air, the bottom would melt faster than the top and it would roll over. As the ice on the bottom melted, it would become top heavy. I would think that it is not impossible for some icebergs. The more closely an iceberg resembles a sphere, (or log-like) the more likely that some rolling might occur. And I would think that while it might be unlikely, it is probably possible for some icebergs to be sphere-like. The same proportions of ice above and below the waterline will hold throughout the life of the iceberg; there would be no such thing as a top-heavy iceberg unless perhaps it got grounded on a shoal.
If an iceberg has 90 percent of its body below the water line then why doesn't a cuise ship with 90 percent of its body above the water line roll over?
because the ship is to heavy
Which of Jupiters moons is thought to have more water than earth?
Not too sure if it has more water than Earth, but Europa has an estimated ice crust over 60 miles deep, with the possiblity of liquid water under this.
Why are there rocks under water?
Because they fall in the water over time
What goes under the over the water but never touches the water?
the swimer
Can polar bears be under the water over 100 feet?
Yes they have ben spoted that deep under water.
