Do wiggle tails come out of water and change into a mosquito or change under water and swim out?
The larvae of .mosquito rise to the surface when about to hatch and use the strong surface tension of the water's surface as a platform to emerge. They must not get wet or they will be trapped in this meniscus.They are light enough to rest on he surface in a similar way to a pond skater whilst their wings inflate and dry.
What attraction is important to water striders?
Surface tension is important to water striders because surface tension gives them the ability to float and not sink and drown.
Does a glass float or sink in water?
It depends on the shape of the fork and the material from which it is made. Most non-metal (wood, plastic) forks will float. Metal forks will sink unless they are shaped to have a large enough surface area on the bottom.
What is the tool in science that if you put in water it doesn't sink and in olive oil it does?
When you put a science tool in water it doesn't sink and in olive oil it does sink
Why is there an upward force on objects in a fluid?
Because an object has to displace an equivalent volume to be able to sink. Say you dropped a brick into a bucket of water, brick and water cannot occupy the same space at the same time so for the brick to sink it has to "displace" or move a volume of water equal to the size of the brick. That's why when you get in the bath the water level rises - you have displaced a volume of water equal to the size of your body.
Why does mosquito go on the water surface?
if your seeing a mosquito on the water it's probobly laying eggs
Where is mosquito larvae found in a ponds?
On the surface of the water.
Why does a water spider not sink?
The answer is surface tension
Why do I sink in the pool?
When you sink in the pool, it is because your body is denser than the water. This causes you to displace water and sink below the surface.
Can polystyrene sink in water?
No, polystyrene is less dense than water, so it will float on the water's surface rather than sink.
What is the maening of submerge?
to sink below the surface of water
What is water that doesn't sink in but runs across earths surface?
Water that doesn't sink in but runs across the Earth's surface is called surface water. This includes rivers, streams, creeks, and runoff from rain or snowmelt that flows over the ground.
Could a thumbtack float or sink?
A thumbtack is typically denser than water so it would sink if placed in water. However, if the surface tension of the water is strong enough, a thumbtack might be able to "float" on the surface, supported by the surface tension.
Do dengue mosquito eggs float on water?
Yes, dengue mosquito (Aedes aegypti) eggs can float on water. Female mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water, and the eggs have a unique ability to float on the water's surface due to a special coating they possess. This adaptation helps protect the eggs from drying out and allows them to hatch when conditions are suitable.
What do we call the water that does not sink but flows on the ground?
We call the water that does not sink but flows on the ground "surface water." This can include rainwater, rivers, streams, and lakes that remain on the Earth's surface rather than infiltrating into the ground.

Name three things that sink and why they sink?
Rocks sink because they are denser than water, causing them to displace less water and therefore sink. Metal objects sink due to their high density, which makes them heavier than water and causes them to sink. Sunken ships sink because they take on water, increasing their overall weight and causing them to sink below the water's surface.
