In general, flatter and wider shell shapes tend to be more buoyant than rounder and more domed shell shapes. The flatter shape creates more surface area, allowing for greater buoyancy in the water. The buoyancy of a turtle shell can also be influenced by factors such as air pockets within the shell, body composition of the turtle, and other adaptations for aquatic life.
