When a ship sinks and is turned into an artificial reef does it matter what shape it is and what it is made of?
KillerArt
Yes. If it's made of wood then it will deteriorate. Made of bad metal, It will rust and decay and leave toxins in the water. Only a few types of metals can be sunk and not worried about. Shape makes no difference. :3

What is the value in creating artificial carbon sinks?
The great forests of the world used to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and store it. They were carbon sinks, but they exist no longer. If we can create artificial carbon sinks they will reduce the effects of global warming by removing CO2 from the air.
How does cycling of matter occur in earth's mantle?
Hot, soft rock rise from the bottom of the mantle towards the top, cools, and sinks back through the mantle.
What does the air at the poles do when it is colder and denser than the surrounding air?
I am not to sure but I think that it sinks...
Where can one find Copper Vessel Sinks?
Copper Vessel sinks can be found at home renovation stores such as Lowes or Home Depot. Vessel sinks are very large bathroom sinks. They are also available in stainless steel or ceramic. A plumber would be able to install it.
What happens when an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate and sinks?
When the oceanic plate sinks it is absorbed back into the magma.

What is considered a carbon sink?
A carbon sink is a natural or artificial storage for carbon dioxide. The largest carbon sinks are the oceans and other open water sources, and plants. Artificial sinks are landfills and underground sequestration facilities such as depleted oil and gas wells.
Why does a concrete canoe float but a concrete block sink?
The block isn't aerodynamic, so it sinks. The boat, no matter what it's constructed with, will be able to float if it's in a shape that will be aerodynamic in water.
Which shape sinks the best in water?
why don't you use a book to figure this out. :) trololololololololol
What does the word buoyance mean?
This word means like when something has a shape and sinks or floats.
How does the shape of an object affect whether it sinks or floats?
The shape of an object needs to be such that the overall density of the object is less than that of the medium in which it is placed
What does the scientific word buoyancy mean?
This word means like when something has a shape and sinks or floats.
Why does coke sink and Diet Coke float?
Other way around: diet beverages are less dense and float, the good kind (with sugar) is more dense and sinks.
Why does sugar sink in water?
Sugar sinks in water because it heavier and more dense than water. Artificial sweeteners like Aspartame are not as dense and will float.
What is faucet water?
A water faucet is the mechanical device fitted to the water supply pipes over bathroom and kitchen sinks. When turned on they supply water.
When placed in water object a floats and object b sinks the objects are the same sizeand shape describe the masses of the objects?
Mass b > mass a
Does the shape of the object determines how fast it sinks in water?
No. Buoyancy depends only on total volume of water displaced and the mass of the object, not the shape of the displacement. However, if the change in the shape affects the volume of water displaced, then the bouyancy of the object is affected. Scuba divers with wet suits know that the volume of their wet suit compresses as their depth increases, causing the suit (and the diver) to become less bouyant.
