What else can I help you with?
Why is pumice lighter than water?
It depends what kind you have... If its density is less then the water it is floating in, yes.
What is the role of density in turbidity currents?
Density's role is to push the cloudy turbid water under the less dense surrounding water to start the turbidity currents
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.
If the porous lava rock gravel was placed in water what would happen?
Pumice is a porous rock that can float on water. It's density is less tham 1g per cm.
Wht is the density of oil?
There are different densities of oils used in cars. It's known as 'viscosity'. In engine oils this ranges from 5 to about 30. Some gear oils, as in back axles range up to 85 or more (this is very thick and dense)
Is very cold water more or less dense than less cold water?
Water is at its greatest density at 4 oC.
Why does cold water have less volume than cold water?
Cold water has a higher density than warm water, which causes it to have less volume for the same mass. This is because the molecules are closer together in cold water, making it more compact.
Which weighs more cold water or warm water?
If you think to density (not weight) hot water is less dense.
Why does hot water produce less upthrust?
Hot water is less dense than cold water, which means it displaces less water and therefore produces less upthrust. The buoyant force of hot water is weaker compared to cold water because of its lower density.
How does the density of warm water compare with the density of cold water?
Generally, warm water has a lower density than cold water. However, between 1 and 4 degrees C the reverse is true.cold water?
Why does warm water stay on top of cold water?
Warm water tends to stay on top of cold water because it is less dense. When water is heated, the molecules move farther apart, making warm water less dense than cold water. This difference in density causes warm water to float on top of cold water.
Which is less dense cold air or cold water?
cold air because when the temperature drops hot air rises and cold air comes to ground level,cold water and hot water have the same density.
How is the density in hot water different from that in cold?
Above 4 degrees C, the hotter it is then the less dense.
Which water cold or hot would be denser at room temperature?
good try,but water at room temp. has the same density. Unless you boil water and compare,my research shows boiled water has less density.
How does cold air effect the density of gas?
'Cold' air will have less volume so the density is greater.
How are mass and volume related to the sinking and floating of an object?
An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.
Why does cold water sink under warm water?
Cold water is denser than warm water due to its higher molecular density and lower thermal energy, causing it to sink below the lighter, less dense warm water. This process, known as thermal stratification, occurs because the cold water is more compact and heavier, allowing it to displace the warm water and move downward.
