Crude oil is less dense than water. This is apparent after oil tanker accidents where the oil floats on the surface of the ocean.

In fact, most oil is less dense than water (ever seen salad dressing that's separated? It's split into it's oil and water components!)
What else can I help you with?
Examples of buoyancy?
An egg floating in salt water. The salt makes the water more dense. Since the egg is less dense it floats!
What forms when more dense seawater sinks under less dense seawater?
Density current
Where would you find the lowest density in seawater?
Answer 1) At the Surface. Answer 2) I disagree with the above answer. For practical purposes water is not compressible. Therefore the density is the same all over. The difference in density at the surface and at the bottom is so small that it is negligible. However, fresh water is less dense than seawater, since the salts dissolved in the seawater makes it more dense. For that reason, if you consider seawater near the mouth of a river, that water will be less dense than the seawater in general.
How does the density of seawater vary with changes in temperature?
As seawalter gets colder it becomes more dense, so cold sea water is more dense than warmer water.
What is the comparative and superlative form for the word crispy?
Comparative: More crude Superlative: Most crude 'Cruder' and 'crudest' are perfectly acceptable, and indeed more idiomatic than 'more crude' and 'most crude'.
Is ice less dense or more dense than water?
no
Is water less or more dense than water?
Ice is less dense than water
How can you determine whether solid object is more dense or less dense than water?
If more dense, it will sink when put into water; if less dense it floats.
Is chlorine less dense or more dense than water?
Chlorine gas is less dense than water, so it will float on top of water if the two are in contact.
Is very salty water more or less dense than more dense?
More Dense.
Is a rubber ducky more dense then water?
no beacause a rubber duck floats and if an object floats in water, is is less dense than the water if it sinks it is more dense
Is water more or less dense than gasoline?
More dense.
Is the earth less dense or more dense than water?
Earth is more dense.
How can you determine weather a solid substance is more dense or less dence than water?
You can determine whether a solid substance is more or less dense than water by comparing their densities. If the density of the substance is greater than the density of water (1 g/cm^3), then the substance is more dense. If the density of the substance is less than the density of water, then the substance is less dense.
How call you tell if a substance is more or less dense then water?
You can determine if a substance is more or less dense than water by comparing their densities. Water has a density of 1 g/cm3 at 4 degrees Celsius. If a substance has a density greater than 1 g/cm3, it is more dense than water. If it has a density less than 1 g/cm3, it is less dense than water.
Which type of water is more dense cold salty water or warm less salty water?
Water is more dense the colder it becomes. It is also more dense the saltier it becomes.
Ice floating on water more or less dense?
more. Less
