An object floating partially in freshwater will be affected when it is kept in ocean water. An object sinks in ocean.

  • Ocean water is denser than the freshwater.
  • And even ocean water is much saltier than freshwater (so, the percentage of chloride is more in ocean water than in freshwater)
  • Density is the only thing that defines whether something should float or sink in water.  
  • If an object has a higher density than the fluid it is in, that object will sink. If it has a lower density, then that object will float.
