@it's called buoyancy because some things are heavier than others .......................... that is a good theory but no, buoyancy does cause it but buoyancy also needs air pressure took keep afloat .

What causes certain liquids to float above others?
the density of each of the fats. the higher density, the lower it will be in a mixture
Why do things float but not others?
because of buoyancy!
Do gravity cause things to float?
no it causes it to fall
Why do some things float and som things sinks?
Because of density difference. High density causes the body to sink and low density makes the things to float on the surface.
Why do some things flaot while others sink?
things that are more dense sink while things that are less dense float
What makes certain substances float and others sink?
Substances with a density (mass per unit volume) greaterthan a liquid will sink in the liquid; if the object has a lower density it will float.
Why some things float but others sink?
Maybe because they build it to not sink and some things sink because it is how it's made
What causes some oceanic plates to sink and others to float?
All oceanic plates float on top of the mantle, and sink into the mantle underneath a less dense plate in plate collision zones.
What is a liquid that makes things float?
It is quite common for various things to float in water. But any liquid can cause things to float.
Why do things float in the air?
things float in air because of density
Would the force that causes a helium balloon to rise be called anti-gravity?
No, it rises because of buoyancy. For a really good non-mathematical explanation go to the answer in the Related Answers section below called Why do some things float but not others.
How do you make things float?
You can't make things float, things float by it's self's it's density is lower than 1 it can float, if it's density is greater than 1 it can't float.
