Why doesn't a ship sink to the bottom of the ocean answer with something about density?

It's buoyancy since the air in the bottom of the ship keeps it afloat. The air is lighter and less dense, so it does not sink into the water. The amount of air must be adequate to the boat's size. Bigger boats need more buoyancy.

How does density of sea water change with depth?
because sicience says it has to!!!!!! DUH!!!!! That second word should be "science", anyway, the better answer is that as depth increases, it gets colder. As the water gets colder, it becomes more dense. Now, do not confuse density with pressure. Density is, for all intents and purposes, a material, solid, liquid or gas, becoming more compact. Pressure can be a function of this, but it is also the weight of the mass acting on itself, and what ever it is acting against, such as the ocean bottom, or anything in it, such as a diver, or a submarine.
How does a Stingray move?
stingrays move with their wings in the bottom of the ocean where it is sandy and dark.
What are two factors that determine ocean water density?
There are two main factors that make ocean water more or less dense the temperature of the water and the salinityof the water.
What distributes energy in the ocean and is caused by differences in density?
The question is incomplete. No options (for which of the following) are given to answer the question.
Describe the process of subduction and how density plays a role in this process?
Ocean lithosphere is higher density so it sinks to the bottom.
What is true of the bottom layer of the ocean Select the two correct answers.?
it has the highest density. it has the fewest plants. apex (:
How can density help you determinewhat a substance is?
density helps you dertermine because substances is about something that have alot for example the ocean and density means the same thing nut in different words i hope you indertend
What factors include the direction of ocean currents?
The factors that can modify the currents are direction and shape of coastlines, bottom reliefs of the ocean basins, seasonal variations and rotation of the earth. Ocean circulation is driven by winds and by differences in water density

What are slimy deposits at the bottom of the ocean?
The bottom of the ocean that is slimy is called a biogenous bottom. Some scientists refer to this kind of ocean bottom as an ooze. They are the result of a dominance of calcium shells and siliceous shell pieces which dissolve at the bottom of the ocean.
Why doesnt Antarctic bottom water freeze?
From its Wikipedia page: "Being the densest water mass of the World Ocean, AABW is found to occupy the depth range below 4000 m of all ocean basins that have a connection to the Southern Ocean at that level." The Southern Ocean freezes at about a depth of eight to 12 feet during the winter months, which is not deep enough to freeze the bottom water.
When was Ocean Bottom Nightmare created?
Ocean Bottom Nightmare was created in 2007.
What is the average density of seawater?
The density of surface seawater ranges from about 1.020 to 1.029 g·cm-3, depending on the temperature and salinityThe average density of seawater at the surface of the ocean is 1.025 g/ml; seawater is denser than freshwater (which reaches a maximum density of 1.000 g/ml at a temperature of 4°C) because of the added mass of the salts.
A boat will float higher in the Atlantic Ocean than in the Potomac River because ocean water has -?
Greater density
