An object float in a liquid only when the density of the solid is lower than the density of the liquid.
Whether an object will float or sink in water will depend on its volume and weight. If the weight of the displaced water is more than that of the body, the body will float. On the other hand if the weight is the displaced water is less than that of the body, the body will sink. Again if both of them are equal, the body will partially sink. Sea water contains salt. So its density is more and consequently, the weight of the sea water is more. So there is more chance of a ship to float in sea water than in river water. ADD: It depends on the density of the object. If an object is denser than water, it will sink. If it is less dense than water, it will float.
The Dead Sea has a great density due to its high salt content, which is about 10 times saltier than the ocean. This high salt concentration makes the water more dense, causing objects to float easily on its surface.
I think substances can float in very salty water, because salty water (example the dead sea)is much more denser than other any other non-salty water, so things will float much more easier.
It is easier to float in salty water than in fresh water because the higher salt concentration in the water increases its density, making objects more buoyant. This buoyancy helps you float on the surface of the water more effortlessly compared to in less dense fresh water.
The property that causes an object to float in saltwater but sink in freshwater is density. Saltwater is denser than freshwater due to the dissolved salts, so objects that are less dense than saltwater will float in it but sink in freshwater.
it is salty and salty waters are dense
Assuming it's a regular steel anchor, an anchor, can't float in the dead sea. Dead Sea water is dense and buoyant for being water, but it's not THAT dense.
The water of the Dead Sea is unusually salty (even for a sea) and hence, it is also unusually dense.
because of a lot of salt is in it The dead sea has no outlet. Water flows into it but not out. The area where the dead sea is is an arid zone so rainfall is low. Water evaporates from the dead sea but because there is not much water flowing into it the dead sea becomes concentrated with mineral salts and that makes it dense.
it increases the density of the water, making objects float easier. ex. the dead sea.
No. It may be denser than the ocean, but nowhere near dense enough.
the more salt in water the more bouyant an object becomes the salt makes the more denser therefore objects that are of a lesser density will tend to float on the dead sea
The amount of salt in the water causes the water to be more dense than people.
humans floats because the water is so much salty and dense that no one can drown in it
The more salt there is in water the more buoyant an object is. The salt makes the water dense. Objects only float if they have less density than salt.

The Dead Sea is known for its high salt content, which makes it easy for humans to float on its surface.
