The effect of gravity is what makes objects that are more dense (mass per unit of volume) than water, like rocks, sink to the bottom. Objects that have less density than water will float because their bouyancy is stronger than the force of gravity.

∙ 15y agothe gravity forse is there, more or less as strong as in any other place near the Earth surface. The EFFECTS of the gravity are however partly neutralized by Archimede's principle. andrea61 (physicist, brescia, Italy).

∙ 14y agoThe gravity of an object does not change, whether in water, on the ground, or in outer space.
Gravity pulls a floating object toward the earth's center (also a tiny bit toward the Sun, Moon, and so forth) and the buoyancy of the water pushes the object away from the center of the earth by the same amount.

Is there gravity under water?
Definitely. A rock sinks in the ocean because gravity operates on it even under water. A log floats in water not because gravity stops under water but because the log's density is lower than that of the water.
How many seas on planet earth?
There are currently 85 seas in the world. The famous phrase "the seven seas" referred to the entire body of sea in the world. They were the Artic Ocean, Antarctic Ocean, North Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean. South Atlantic Ocean, North Atlantic Ocean and south Pacific Ocean.
Do the Plates include the lithosphere under the ocean?
Yes, several of the plates have their margins under the oceans. The Pacific Plate would be the plate with the largest area under the seas.

Ocean and seas
Which continents border the Pacific Ocean?

What is a cause of the tides in the seas?
the moons gravity.
Which place divides Indian Ocean into 2 seas?
The Indian subcontinent divides Indian Ocean into two seas
If the earth is spherical how does the seas and ocean hold the water in place?
Gravity pulls all matter toward the center of the earth. That keeps the water in the lower basins, that are called seas and oceans and are bounded by higher ground called continents and islands.
