Many combustible substances (substances that will burn) are lighter (less dense) than water and will float - paper, wood and gasoline are a few examples. When ignited (set on fire), these substances will continue to float, and so will the fire.
Yes, fire can burn on water if certain conditions are met, such as using a flammable substance that can float on the water's surface.
Yes, fire can burn on top of water if certain conditions are met, such as using a flammable substance that can float on the water's surface.
Yes, water can float on water. This is because of surface tension, which allows objects with a lower density than water to float on its surface. Items like boats or water bugs can float because of this phenomenon.
A styrofoam cup will float in water because styrofoam is less dense than water, causing it to displace water and float.
A balloon filled with air will float on water because it is less dense than water. The buoyant force acting on the balloon allows it to float.
Yes, fire can burn on water if certain conditions are met, such as using a flammable substance that can float on the water's surface.
Yes, fire can burn on top of water if certain conditions are met, such as using a flammable substance that can float on the water's surface.
Most hydrocarbons are less dense than water. So, if you put water on a hydrocarbon fire, they will simply float on top of it, rending the water ineffective.

The oil and water would separate (oil is lighter than water, thus it would float upon the water) Therefore the oil could catch fire and burn until it was all burned without the water putting it out
Fire-float Pyronaut ended in 197#.
Oil and water do not mix. Therefore if a fire starts, throw flour or baking soda over it to stop the fire. If you add water, the fire will most likely spread out since water will spread the fire out more.
Jeremejevite does not float on water.
Pouring water on a kerosene fire can spread the flames and cause the fire to intensify due to the kerosene's ability to float on top of the water. This can make the situation more dangerous and difficult to control. It is better to use a fire extinguisher or sand to smother the fire.
Petrol will float on the surface of water, as petrol is less dense than water. So, it would be possible to set fire to a river, provided petrol is poured over the surface first!
Yes, water can float on water. This is because of surface tension, which allows objects with a lower density than water to float on its surface. Items like boats or water bugs can float because of this phenomenon.
fish does float on water!
