Objects that float on water are less dense than water. Objects/liquid will arrange themselves from the highest density in the lowest layers to lowest density in the upper layers of a liquid (like water)
However, buoyant forces can keep an object floating on the surface of water too. If the force of buoyancy is equal to the force of gravity, the object will not sink beneath the surface of the water.

Light waves bounce off the surfaces of most objects?
it depends on the surface. the ability for a light wave 2 "bounce off" lies in whether or not the substance will absorb that certain frequency of light...and the type of surface (i.e. smooth or rough)
What type of mechanical waves are water waves?
Yes, an ocean wave is a mechanical wave, since the water is the medium of the wave.
Name one example of each type of wave?
transverse= rope longitudinal= spring surface= water & air
What type of marine life floats near the surface of the water and consist of microscopic plant like and animal protists?
plankton

Type your answer here... the oil has more density
What type of objects would be found on Moon's surface?
a rock of course
What rock floats on water?
Floating rocks: pumice. Non-floating rocks: all but pumice. Pumice can float on water because its density is so low, due to trapped bubbles of air which formed during its solidification from lava.
What type of objects will float on top of water?
The types of objects that will float on water are foil, most rubber, and some plastic.
Where do you find duckweed?
Duckweed is a type of aquatic plant that can be found floating on the surface of water. They are most commonly found in wetlands or in bodies of freshwater.

In which type of water does objects float best Is it A river water B distilled water C boiled water D sea water?
SEA WATER ---- Salt water---- D. The more salt the better for floating objects.
Is well water a type of surface water?
Well water is by definition from an underground aquifer, or water table.
What type of bugs walk on water?
Because of surface tension.
