Why a ship sinks more in fresh water than sea water?
A ship will sink more easily, when in fresh water instead of sea water, as the fresh water is less dense, due to a lack of salt in it. The density of any object affects how well it's able to float.
Who will survive Drowning in salt water versus fresh water?
it depend on the density of the water . fresh water is more dense than sea water. therefor human can float on sea water easier than fresh water. divers are good at water density.
Why do you weigh less in sea water?
Because sea water is more dense than regular water
Why it is easier for a swimmer to float in sea water than in fresh water?
The sea contains salt, which makes the water lots more dense. The water is then somehow easyer to float on. In the dead sea there is so much salt water, it is imposible to drown without forcefully holding your head under water

Why sea water and freshwater do not have same density?
Sea water and fresh water does not have the same density because sea water has salt, which makes it more dense than fresh water Sea water and fresh water does not have the same density because sea water has salt, which makes it more dense than fresh water
Is salty water more dense that salty water?
Salt water is more dense than fresh water. A ship would float higher at sea, and lower on a fresh water inland lake.

Where will a body sink more in fresh water or in sea water?
Fresh water...

Because sea water is more dense than regular water
Where cool dense water sinks its becomes more dense?
In the Mediterranean Sea the cool dense water sinks under less dense water which is called density current.

Why is it easier to float in salty water tahn in flesh water?
It's easier to float in salty water because the water is not dense compared to fresh water. No its not! The other way around! The salt water is MORE dense than that of fresh water, so you float easier: there are more particles in that given space. :)
Why do ships float higher on sea water than in fresh water?
Because the the sea water contains salt, which increases the density of the water. Therefore, the ships becomes even less dense than the water, making it float higher.
