Dead body(s) will float in seawater [at least dead animal body(s) do]. ... visualize that once the body begins to decompose bacterial gases will cause the body to float to the surface ... imagine that body(s) which end up in deep water (thereby very cold water) do not experience bacterial decomposition as quickly and consequently with limited light and oxygen any bodies in deep/cold water decompose and are consumed more slowly without floating to the surface due to bacterial gas expansion common to warm water ...

Why can we float in Dead Sea even if we can't swim?
The higher the salt content of seawater, the more buoyant the water is. And the Dead Sea has the highest salt content of any body of water in the world.
Will hydrometer float on seawater?
Yes it will
Why can a body float on the dead sea?
you float cause the salt evaporates ant o2 rises
Why did dead body float on water?
A dead body can float on water due to the gases produced during decomposition. As the body breaks down, the gases fill the body cavities, causing it to become less dense and allowing it to float. Other factors such as body composition and water temperature can also play a role in body buoyancy.
Is phytoplankton a fern?
No. They are microscopic plants that float freely in seawater.
Body of water contains so much salt that people can float on it?
The Dead Sea.
Why the dead body float on water?
Many gases produce in body of human. When the man die the water enter the human body and there is no way for air to diffuse out of the human body .As the gasesare lighter so they try to diffuse out of the water due to this the dead body floats on water
When the increase in the salinity of seawater result in an increase or decrease in density?
If you compare the density of sea water, and then compared the extremely salty Dead Sea, you will find that the more salt in the water, the higher is the density. Which is why you can float on the Dead Sea while reading a newspaper (which I once saw demonstrated in a documentary). Also, a ship will float lower on a fresh water lake, and float higher on salt water.
Do dead bodies float on water because of decomposition?
Yes, dead bodies can float on water due to gases produced during decomposition that cause the body to become buoyant. These gases can get trapped inside the body, allowing it to stay afloat.
Why a man can float in a dead sea?
because it has so much salt in it that it enables the body to float instead of sinking in the water
How does a steel submarine float on top of the water while it is on harbor?
The air found in the submarine makes it float
Why do dead people float?
After death, the organisms/bacteria within the body will metabolise and multiply, producing lots of gas in the process. Most of this gas is unable to escape, so the body expand and float from all of the gasses present. The body will then sink again once it has decayed enough to allow the gasses to escape.
