Ice (solid water) floats on liquid water.
Fresh water floats on salt water (less salty floats on more salty).
Warm water floats on cold water.
I was in a fjord in northern Norway some summers ago and the glacial runoff (fresh water) floated on the sea water of the fjord. A layer about 3 centimeters thick on top of the water in the inner part of the fjord was not salty at all ( I tasted it). When you stirred you could see the differences in optical density too. This also caused trouble for boats as hydrodynamic drag increases noticeably when there is a layer of fresh water on top of the salty water.
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, an egg will float in salted water because the increased density of the water due to the salt makes it easier for objects with lower density, like an egg, to float.
No, muscovite does not float on water because it is denser than water.
Jeremejevite does not float on water.

There are tents designed to Float in water. But not all tents designed to float.
fish does float on water!

Soil floats on water!
It will float. Its a rock. It actually depends on how much water you have, if you you tried float it in the ocean, it would obviously sink. But if you tried to float it on a gladd or bowl or water, it would float,
No, feldspar does not float in water because it is more dense than water. When placed in water, feldspar will sink to the bottom.
Octane is less dense than water, so it will float on the surface of water.
why sodium floats on water!!!sodium has to float on water as it is very reactive.
an egg can float in salt water.
no an egg does not float in regular water.
