A boat will float sideways if the water is too shallow and it touches bottom. Boats will float higher in water with greater salt content. If you fill a boat with water it begins to sink deeper. It all depends on whether you are talking about water outside the boat or water inside the boat.

Why does water density affect boats floating?
The water density is higher than the boat's therefore it floats on the water.
What is something that floats in water?
A wooden boat floats in water due to its buoyancy and the displacement of water created by the boat's weight.
Why the boat is able to float?
Wood floats in water.
What are some things to consider when buying a boat?
If it floats on the water.
A boat with an anchor on board floats in a swimming pool that is somewhat wider than the boat does the water level in the pool move upward?
When the boat is first lowered gently onto the surface of the water, the surface level rises slightly, regardless of the boat's size, shape, or weight, or what it has on board. The boat floats because it has displaced an amount of water that weighs exactly as much as the boat does. That means it has pushed some water out of some volume that the boat now occupies. The water it pushed aside has to go somewhere, and the surface level in the pool must rise.
How the airplane float?
The same way anything floats, by displacing an amount of water that weighs as much as it does. Airplanes that are meant to float on water typically either have boat-like hulls or floats whose purpose is to displace enough water to allow the airplane to float.
What does it mean when displacement is talked about in sailboats?
Simply put, the displacement of any boat is the amount of water the hull displaces when it floats. The weight of the water being displaced will be equal to the weight of the boat...assuming it's still floating, that is.
How does a fiberglass boat float?
A boat floats by keeping water outside, regardless of any material
Whata a 4 letter word that floats on water?
raft, boat
How a boat made of steel float?
A boat made of steel floats because of the principle of buoyancy. When the boat displaces water that has a weight equal to or greater than the weight of the boat, it floats. The steel hull is designed to displace enough water to generate an upward force greater than the weight of the boat, keeping it afloat.
Give an example bouoyancy?
When a boat floats on water, it is experiencing buoyancy. The upward force exerted by the water on the boat is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the boat, allowing it to stay afloat.
What floats on water and is a conductor of electricity?
A metal boat would float on water and be a conductor of electricity.
