Yes, Atlantic deep water is warmer and less dense than the Antarctic bottom water, so it flows on top.
Because water is more dense then our bodies so when things are more dense they sink to the bottom and when they are less dense they float to the top
The warmer ocean water that flows south from the tropics mostly affects the ice shelves around the Antarctic Peninsula. The Antarctic Bottom Water -- a natural phenomenon produced by the extreme cold -- is the most dense of all ocean waters, given its high saline content: 34.65%. Because warm water weighs less than cold water, the surface waters flow over the colder, more dense water. Wherever the warmer water flows under the ice shelves, these shelves are beginning to disintegrate from below.
The ocean is most dense towards the bottom of the sea. As the water in the ocean gets colder it gets more dense.
A pond freezes from the bottom because water is most dense at around 4 degrees Celsius. When the top layer of water cools and freezes, it becomes less dense and remains on top, insulating the warmer water below. This allows the colder water to continue freezing from the bottom up.
First of all... ice floats in water.
Because rocks are more dense than water
It's somewhere in the textbook...
Water, oil, and mercury are arranged in increasing order of density. Water is less dense than oil, which is less dense than mercury. So the order would be water (less dense), oil, and then mercury (most dense).
because it is less dense than the sea water
First of all, there are two principles:1.hot water is less dense and rises up2.cold water is more dense and goes down.so when water becomes hot, it rises up and replaces the cold water which comes down. That is why cold water enters from the bottom.
No, feldspar does not float in water because it is more dense than water. When placed in water, feldspar will sink to the bottom.
