incorrect. relative density or specific gravity as it is also known, is the relationship between compounds measured as grams per millilitre.

generally waters specific gravity is 1 at normal temperature, so if you want you can think relative density is an index centered around water.

water is not the heaviest, eg. murcury's relative density is 13.5462 g/cm3 at 20°C

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 kind of density floats?

Objects with a lower density than water will float. This is because their weight is less than the weight of the water they displace, causing them to float on the water's surface.


Does water or ice have the most density?

Water,thats why ice float on water.


What kind of density current is caused by muddy rapidly flowing mixture of sediment and water?

A turbidity current is a density current that occurs when mud or silt mixes with seawater. This is the result of the increase in the density of the water itself.

Water is most dense at what Celsius?

The maximum density for water occurs at 4 C.


What has the most density crust water or interior?

Water at the bottom will have more density than top water due to it being pressurised with the weight of the top water, the deeper the water the denser it will be.


Where in water is the lowest density?

The lowest density in water occurs at 4 degrees Celsius, where water is most dense. As water cools below or heats above this temperature, its density decreases, causing it to expand and become less dense.

Density list of ice and water and steam?

The density of ice is approximately 0.92 g/cm³, the density of water is 1 g/cm³, and the density of steam (water vapor) at standard conditions is around 0.6 g/cm³. As temperature changes the density of water and ice can also change - with water being most dense at 4°C.
