Question

Seawater is more dense than fresh water. A ship moving from the Atlantic into the Great Lakes goes from seawater to fresh water. Will the ship sink farther into the water during the passage, stay at the same level, or rise slightly?

Answer 1

It will sink.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the salt water's density and the ship's density are very different (compared to fresh water and the ship's density) It will allow the ship to remain seated higher in the water than when the ship is in fresh water.
