If a boat travels from the ocean to a fresh water river the position of the boat will change. Will it ride higher in the water or lower? Explain! Click on screen to continue
Ocean water is more dense than fresh water due to the presence of salt. Therefore the boat will higher in the ocean. Click on screen to continue
