Why does a brick weigh more than a sponge when they have the same amount of volume?
A brick weighs more than a sponge because its material, such as clay or concrete, is denser and more compact than the material of a sponge, which is porous and lightweight. The density of the brick's material causes it to have more mass packed into the same volume compared to the sponge.
Why does sponge float but rubber blocks sinks?
Sponge is porous and filled with air, which makes it less dense than water, so it floats. Rubber is denser than water and does not have air pockets, causing it to sink.
Why does a clay ball sink in water?
A clay ball sinks in water because it is denser than water, causing it to displace water equal to its weight. The ball's density is higher than the density of water, resulting in a downward force greater than the buoyant force pushing it up. This imbalance causes the clay ball to sink to the bottom of the water.
Is CO2 denser than air?
Yes, carbon dioxide (CO2) is denser than air.
Does a bolt float?
no because it isn't hollow and denser than water

What will happen if we drop a piece of chalk and sponge in to a glass of water?
The chalk will sink, while the sponge will float. The chalk is denser than water, causing it to sink, while the sponge is less dense than water, allowing it to float.

What holds more water sand silt or clay?
Clay holds more water than sand and silt. Clay particles are smaller and create a denser structure that can hold water more effectively than the larger particles of sand and silt.
What is over-consolidation?
Think of a clay body like a sponge. When the sponge is wet it swells up and when a pressure is applied to the sponge, water is forced out and the sponge shrinks. Consolidation is the term used to describe this phenomenon in clays. Normaly, the pressure applied to clays is due to the overburden pressure, or weight of the overlying clays bearing down on the strata. Therefore a normally consolidated clay is one that becomes more dense - that is more consolidated and tightly packed - as you go deeper into the strata. Over consolidated clays occur when at some stage during the history of the deposit, other earth pressures have been applied resulting in more water being squeezed out than would normally be expected. This causes the clay to become more densely packed in and as such is over consolidated. Over time, more clay is deposited over this layer resulting in normally consolidated clay over a denser layer of over consolidated clay... pheeeew, this is the best I can explain it with out making you sick with an intense geotechnical filibuster.

What will happen if you drop a piece of chalk and a sponge into a glass of water?
The chalk will sink to the bottom of the glass, as it is denser than water. The sponge will initially float on the surface due to its lower density, but over time it will absorb water and eventually sink.
Due to density a round ball of clay will sink why will the same clay that is stretched into a thin sheet float?
No, the clay will still be denser than the water. You are spreading it out over a larger area, and the clay will not be heavy enough to break the surface tension of the larger area of water. So, the answer is surface tension keeps it from sinking.
How can I make a clay water pot at home?
To make a clay water pot at home, you will need clay, water, a potter's wheel or mold, and tools like a clay cutter and sponge. First, knead the clay to remove air bubbles. Then, shape the clay into a pot using the wheel or mold. Smooth the surface with a sponge and let it dry. Finally, fire the pot in a kiln or oven to harden it.
What is the difference between a brick and a sponge?
A brick is a hard, solid building material made from clay or concrete, while a sponge is a soft, porous material used for cleaning or absorbing liquids. Bricks are typically heavy and durable, while sponges are lightweight and flexible.
What is more permeable sand or clay?
Sand is far and away more permeable than clay. Water poured into sand disappears in moments. Clay layers in the earth can effectively block the penetration of moisture. Big time.

What is softer than a sponge?
SPONGE(say it loud) .... sponge (softer)
