higher

Because... temperature affects the level as warm water provides less bouyancy, being less dense than cold water. The salinity of water also affects the level, fresh water being less dense than salty water

Lower. The warmer water is less dense then in colder areas. The difference is not large, but it is measurable.

Will ships float lower or higher in tropical water?

Ships will float higher in tropical waters because as the density of a fluid decreases with a rise in temperature, so does the buoyant force that the fluid exerts on an immersed object. The buoyant force decreases because the displaced fluid weighs less at a higher temperature.


Do boats float higher or lower in tropical waters?

higher as when the temprature rises the density of the water/liquid decreases, so does the buoyant force that the water/liquid exerts on an object such as a boat or vessel


Why do you tend to float lower in the water when you exhale?

You tend to float lower in the water when you exhale because you are getting rid of air. This air is buoyant and helped you to float higher.


Is the air inside balloon higher or lower then the outside air?

lower so it can float. guessing.


How do objects sink or float in water?

objects with higher density than water sink, ones with a lower density float


Why does a icebreg float?

water is the only substance on earth where its density is HIGHER when liquid, and LOWER when solid. a substance will float on top of another if its density is lower than the other substance. so because the ice has a LOWER density it will float on top of the water


How can you use density to determine if an object will sink or float a fluid?

If the density of an object is lower than water then it will float, if the density is higher it will sink.


Should a material have a higher or lower density to float in water?

A material needs a lower density than water to float in water. Ships float in water because their average density is lower than water. The average density includes the steel hull and the air inside the hull.


How is density related to floatation?

If an object has lower density than the fluid then it will float. If it has higher density then it will sink.


From higher to lower the two layers that plants make up in a tropical rain forest are the?

canopy and understory


What causes certain liquids to float above others?

the density of each of the fats. the higher density, the lower it will be in a mixture


Does a ball float in water higher than in oil?

No, a ball will float higher in oil than in water because the density of oil is lower than that of water. The buoyant force experienced by the ball in oil is greater, causing it to float higher.
