Does size affect sinking and floating?
No that is to do with density differences not size differences,
Why does changing the shap of an object have no affect on the density of that object?
Density is mass divided by volume: Changing the shape (say by bending it) changes neither.
The bending of a light ray as it passes from one substance to another one with a different density?
Refraction
Currents are caused by temperature and density differences?
deep
What is cycling of material due to differences in density?
Radiation
Why does the energy from the sun travel to earth by radiation instead of by covection or conduction?
The sun moves through the electromagnetic waves. Conduction and Convection transfers energy between differences in density.
When do waves bend traveling through a medium?
The bending of a wave occurs when the wave hits a object?
What are three differences between the upper and lower mantle?

1.Are there any differences between the calculated density and the experimental density of a substance? If so, why?
What are the main differences between the layers of mantle?
Mineralogy, pressure, temperature, and density differences exist among the 'layers' of the mantle.
What are the differences between earth and the sun?
Differences include mass; temperature; energy production; density; composition (percentage of elements).

What three differences between the upper and lower mantle?
They would differ in temperature, mineralogy, density, and pressure.
The bending of light when it goes from air into gelatin is called?
Refraction ( the bending of light as it passes from a one transparent material to another with a different density)
