If you put water into water, it would eventually get mixed.

Fresh water is less dense than salt water and fresh water from rain or rivers will "float" on underlying salt sea water.

Water of different temperature and different salinity have different densities and do make layers in the oceans and lakes of the world.

Ordinary water will usually mix rather than separate, unless it is frozen into ice, which is less dense than liquid water.

There is also "heavy water" that has deuterium in the place of ordinary hydrogen and is ABOUT 11% denser than ordinary water, which will float above it.

What of a mineral will determine if it floats or sinks in water?

The density of the mineral compared to the density of water will determine if it floats or sinks. If the mineral has a lower density than water, it will float; if it has a higher density, it will sink.

How can you determine whether a soild object is more dense or less dense than water?

You can put a uniform object into water.If it sinks density is higher than water,if floats lesser than water.If you can place anywhere in water,density is equal to water.


How does water sink and float?

Water sinks or floats in other liquids based on their relative densities. If an object is denser than water, it will sink. If it is less dense, it will float. This is due to the principle of buoyancy, where the upward force exerted by a fluid opposes the weight of the object, determining whether it sinks or floats.
