Shower, because you don't need the water below the surface and it is already dirty. It's like sitting in your own used dirty water so you'll be dirty anyways so why use water. If your taking a shower your using clean water and you can turn off the water when you don't need it.

∙ 15y ago* A brief shower will use much less water than a bath, as a bath needs to be at least half way up the bathtub. Unless, of course, you take a long shower with the water on full power.
* A bath almost never takes less than a shower. A really brief shower may use only a gallon of water; it will always be less than two. An average shower will be 2-3 gallons -- or maybe even 4-5 if you are washing long hair. No matter how short a time you spend in the bathtub, you will use 15-20 gallons before you step in.True

∙ 13y agoIt really depends on how long of a shower you usually take, but in general it takes less water to take a shower than to take a bath. One way you can find out for you personally is to close the drain in the tub while taking a shower and see how much water accumulates in the bathtub.

A graph of whether you use more water taking a bath or a shower?
We can't provide graphs on WikiAnswers. However, here is an answer to a similar question: It depends on your shower head and whether it has a flow restrictor in it and how long you shower. If your home was built before 1992, chances are your showerheads put out about five gallons of water per minute (gpm). Multiply this by the number of minutes you're in the shower, and the water adds up fast! An average bath requires 30-50 gallons of water. The average shower of four minutes with an old shower head uses 20 gallons of water. With a low-flow shower head, only 10 gallons of water is used. To test the amount of water used in a shower vs. a bath is to put the plug in the bath next time you take a shower (but not a stand-alone shower as you might spill over the lower shower wall). After you've showered, see how much the tub filled up. If there is less water than you would usually have in a bath, then you will probably save money by taking a shower instead of a bath.
What uses less energy a bath or a shower?
Shower, most likely. If the water temperature is the same, then it all depends on the amount of water used. If you take short showers, then showers use less energy. If you take super long showers, then either take a bath, or hurry up. I'd think that it's more common to take cold showers than cold baths as well.

Does ice float because water becomes more or less dense when its frozen?
The structure of frozen water (ice) is less dense than the random arrangement of the water molecules in liquid water, thus ice floats because water becomes less dense when it is frozen. Because of buoyancy forces, an object placed in a liquid will float if it is less dense than the liquid and sink if it is more dense.

How does a bath use more water then a 5 minute shower?
No and yes it matters how long your in but for me i am in the shower for 5-10 minuets and it uses more then a bath. The reason is that when your in a bath the same water is being used through your cleaning but with a shower it is being filtered the whole time. For me I would recommend using the shower because it is a cleaner way to clean yourself.
What uses less water a bath or a shower?
a shower if you take a quick one.Actually, it's a bath. When you are taking a shower, you usually want it to be warm or hot. While you are waiting for the shower water to heat up, water is going down the drain. While you are applying soap on your washcloth, water is going down the drain. While you are washing yourself, you don't want the shower water to rinse until the soap is all over you. It's going down the drain. As you're rinsing off, it's going down the drain.With a bath, you may wait for the water to heat up. After that, you plug up the pluggy thingy and the water stays. It only leaves when you take off the pluggy thingy.a shower :):):):):):):):):):):):)?:):)The answer is a shower uses far less water than a bath. A five minute showers uses a third of the amount of water used in bathing.

It depends on the length of the shower, and the flow of water. Shower heads can usually allow anywhere between 2.5 and 5 gallons of water a minute. Most baths require 30-50 gallons of water. To save energy the length of the shower x, multiplied by the water flow y, must equal less than the amount of water used in the bath. X*Y (Minutes/Gallons) < Gallons in Tub

Why does the shower produce more steam than a bath?
In a bath there is less hot water vapour condensing into particles for you to see. Steam is made up of water vapour that you can't see. More fog is produced from a shower because cold air surrounding the hot water from the shower causes water vapour to change into small water droplets called fog not steam.
