No, they are not! Although... some people belive that different from islands which are obviously connected to the ground, continents might be floating... This hasn't been proven true, but... some people belive in it. (A.T.)
The continents are not floating on water, if that is what you mean. The large bodies of water on the earth's surface fill up some of the spaces between the continents.
Continents are landmasses and by definition have some form of water surrounding them. There are no continents without any water around them.
A lage chunk of ice floating in the water, most of it is in the water.
Free-floating glaciers are commonly referred to as "icebergs." These massive chunks of ice break off from glaciers or ice shelves and float in open water. Icebergs can vary significantly in size and shape, and they are typically found in polar regions and near the coastlines of continents.
The continents move because of plate tectonics. The earth;s crust is made of many large and small pieces, called plates, that are floating on top of magma, molten rock. To get an idea what this is like, imagine water boiling. If you look into the pot you can see that it is moving in upward cycles. This is called convection currents. The Earths magma does this too, but much slower. Then imagine that you are making soup and the noodles are floating on top and colliding with each other as the soup boils. The continents floating on their tectonic plates are like the noodles, only when they collide together they cause earthquakes, volcanoes, caldera's, and these actions create islands or mountains, or sink holes, but usually just move the continents around.
No, not all continents are surrounded by water. For example, Antarctica is mostly surrounded by the Southern Ocean, while Africa is connected to other continents through land.

You need to draw this \______/ floating on water to show a floating boat.
Floating Objects are objects that are less densethan water.
Floating plants protect small water animals by floating near the surface of the water and preventing birds from eating or harming the animals underneath.
Water Vapor
Floating water droplets are called mist or spray. They are tiny droplets of water suspended in the air.
