Imagine a leaf floating down the river. Present in the image is a leaf, water, and rocks. Which of these objects has the most density: the lead, the water in the river, or the rocks at the bottom of t

Answer 1

In general, rocks have the highest density among the three objects listed: the leaf, the water in the river, and the rocks at the bottom.

• Leaf: Leaves are typically less dense than water, which is why they float.
• Water: The density of water is about 1 gram per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).
• Rocks: Most rocks have a density greater than that of water, often ranging from about 2 to 3 g/cm³ or more, depending on the type of rock.

So, to answer your question, the rocks at the bottom of the river have the most density.
