No. Water is more dense. Density is defined by the amount of whatever sort of stuff it is that is crammed into one space. Soil is relatively loose. It has holes in it through which insects, worms, roots, and other miscellaneous things can move without actually displacing any of its stuff. Every time another worm or root is introduced to a pile of soil, the level of soil doesn't actually rise, it just becomes more dense. When the soil is too dense to hold any more life (which doesn't happen without killing everything) is when it (theoretically) starts to rise. If you have a cup of water, you can't put anything in it without displacing the amount of stuff that is already there. It can be proven mathematically, as well. Density = Mass/volume. If you take samples of both suggested mediums, soil will prove to be less dense than water.

Why are gasoline denser than a egg answer?
Gasoline floats on water and is therefore less dense than water. Eggs sink in water and are therefore denser than water. A process of logical deduction will therefore show you that Eggs are DENSER than Gasoline. Your question therefore makes no sense.
Is soda denser than water?
Yes
Which is denser oil or water?
what i think is oil is denser because denser mean mass which is heavy and that is why the oil goes on the bottom when you add oil with water
Why are you more buoyant in a swimming pool or a lake than on land?
Water is denser than air.
What is denser water or vinegar?
Vinegar is denser than water because vinegar is made of different substances that are denser than water, so that means vinegar is a little denser than water.
Is obsidian denser than water?

Is land denser than air?
There are 5 states of matter.1. solid2. liquid3. gas4. plasma (ionized gas)5. Bose-Einstein condensateAir is a gas and land is a combination of solids (rock, soil, etc) and liquid (water).Solids and liquids are denser than gases. So, yes, land is denser than air.
Is chalk denser than water?
yes chalk is denser then water.
Why is wood denser than water?
Most types of wood are not denser than water--they float in/on water. For the wood types that are denser than water, the explanation is that they contain molecules that are denser than water (e.g. resin) and the average distance between molecules is smaller.
A liquid that is more dense than water is?
shampoo is denser than water or mix cornstarch and water and that is denser than water too.
What is denser fresh or sea water?
Salt water is denser than fresh water.
