Sure. If you can find a fluid that's more dense than the rocks to float them in.
For example, Mercury is almost 6 times as dense as granite, so a lump or slab of granite will ride right up there high in a pool of mercury.
==========================================
Pumice, it has air pockets in it. If the weight to water displacement is less any object will float.
answ3. Heavy liquids are used in mineral separation. A poly-bromine - ... etc liquid used to be used , but considerations of ozone layer, and toxicity have led to it being abandoned.
Sodium polytungstate, with a specific gravity of about 3 is now the recommended material. And, some rock minerals will float on it - hence its value.
What else can I help you with?
Does Venice really float?
No, it is build on the sand and rock beneath the water.However they say that it is slowly sinking because the waves are slowly washing the sand away underneath.
Do you need more or less density to float?
More density will sink. Less density will float.
What is in the salt water why the egg float?
Salt water have a higher density.So it can produce enough upthrust to make the egg float.
Did Salem witches actually float?
No. None of the victims of Salem were witches, so none would float. And the floating test was not used in Salem.
The theory of plate tectonic suggest that?
This theory suggests that large, jigsaw like pieces of rock float on the upper mantle. It suggests that they fit together all over the planet, and are moving, though slowly at times. This theory was inspired by Alfred Wegner's theory of continental drift.
What rock can actually float where does it come from?
Pumice is the only rock that will float. It is a volcanic rock.
How can you determined if a rock can float in water?
You can determine if a rock can float by comparing its density to the density of water. If the rock is denser than water, it will sink. If the rock is less dense than water, it will float. This can be tested by placing the rock in a container filled with water and observing its behavior.
What rock can actually float?
Pumice is able to float.
What type of rock cannot float on water?
Virtually all types of rock will sink in water. The only rock that can float on water is pumice.
What doesn't float?
a rock
Does asbestos float?
Many asbestos-containing products will float, many will not. Raw asbestos rock will not float.
Does obsidian rock float?
No, obsidian rock does not float as it is a dense and heavy igneous rock formed from cooled lava. Its high density causes it to sink in water.
Does a shale rock float in water?
no
What type of rock will float on water?
Any with a density less than the fluid into which it is placed. Pumice is a volcanic rock that will sometimes float on water.pumice
Do some rocks float?
Pumice is a rock that will often float. It has so many air bubbles in the rock that it is buoyant, especially in salt water.
What type of rock can float on water?
Pumice.
What metamorphic rock can float?
Pumice.
