no because its density is greater than one ( anything less than one, density wise would float

Actually, only Saturn "would float"; ie, has a density less than 1. Earth has a density of 5.5 or so, and if there were a big enough bathtub, would sink like the rock it is.

Some believe that land is floating on water true or false?

Although it may be true that some misinformed people believe that land is floating on the water, it is FALSE that it does so. Land (earth's crust that is exposed to the air) could be said to be floating on MAGMA, along with the rest of the earth's crust. The oceans are above the crust, not under it.


A magnet suspended on a string or floating in water will always point in this direction?

A magnet suspended on a string or floating in water will always align itself with the Earth's magnetic field, pointing towards the magnetic north pole.


How does the earth crust behave like a ship floating in water?

The Earth's crust behaves like a ship floating on water due to its buoyancy, which is a result of isostasy. Just as a ship displaces water based on its weight and shape, the crust displaces the mantle beneath it according to its density and thickness. When the crust is thicker or denser, it sinks deeper into the mantle, while thinner or less dense areas float higher. This balance between the crust and the mantle creates a dynamic equilibrium similar to that of a ship on water.


Why earth is called big blue marble?

Earth is called the "Big Blue Marble" because when viewed from space, it appears as a blue sphere covered mostly by water. The oceans and atmosphere give the planet its distinctive blue color, likening it to a "marble" floating in space.


Why can liquids change their shape for example why can water flow?

Gravity causes water to flow downhill. A blob of water released inside a spacecraft under zero gravity, will form a floating sphere. On earth, If there are no sides to retain the water, the water spreads out and forms a puddle.

Do islands float on water?

Islands are not floating freely on the surface of the water. They are locations where the solid surface of the earth are elevated above sea level. Imagine a hilly field slowly filling with water. You will reach a point where the tops of some of the hills become isolated from one another with water all around.
