What else can I help you with?
Are basaltic igneous rocks lower in density than granitic rocks?
Granite is very much less dense than basalt. This is why the continental crust (mostly composed of granite) floats on Oceanic crust (made mostly of basalt). Granite is 70 % silicon. Where basalt is mainly pyroxene.
How can you determine whether a soild object is more dense or less dense than water?
You can put a uniform object into water.If it sinks density is higher than water,if floats lesser than water.If you can place anywhere in water,density is equal to water.
How call you tell if a substance is more or less dense then water?
You can determine if a substance is more or less dense than water by comparing their densities. Water has a density of 1 g/cm3 at 4 degrees Celsius. If a substance has a density greater than 1 g/cm3, it is more dense than water. If it has a density less than 1 g/cm3, it is less dense than water.
Does basalt float in water?
No, basalt does not float in water because its density is higher than the density of water. Basalt is a dense volcanic rock formed from the solidification of lava, which causes it to sink when placed in water.
Icecubes float in water because they are less?
Dense
What is less dense water basalt iron or granite?
Water is less dense than any of the other materials listed.In order of density from least to highest:Water (least dense)GraniteBasaltIron (most dense)

Is water less or more dense than water?
Ice is less dense than water
What object is less dense than water?
A wooden block can be less dense than water.
Is ice less dense or more dense than water?
no
Can you make oil less dense than water?
Oil IS already less dense than water.
What fruit is less dense than water?
Easy, put a fruit in water and if it floats it is less dense than water.
Does ice float because it is less dense than water?
Yes. Anything that is less dense than water will float on water.
Is chlorine less dense or more dense than water?
Chlorine gas is less dense than water, so it will float on top of water if the two are in contact.
Is a rubber ducky more dense then water?
no beacause a rubber duck floats and if an object floats in water, is is less dense than the water if it sinks it is more dense
Is Jupiter less dense than water?
No, the only planet in the solar system less dense than water is Saturn.
