The 116 pages that link to Buoyancy, each with the reason it gives.

• Jacques PiccardRelated: The bathyscaphe’s buoyant float enabled Piccard’s vehicle to descend and return.

• NeustonRelated: Buoyancy helps determine whether organisms remain at the surface or sink below it.

• WetsuitRelated: Gas trapped in neoprene adds flotation as well as insulation.

• WindsurfingRelated: Buoyancy supports the board and rider, especially before the board planes.

• Wing-propelled divingRelated: Air trapped in plumage and lungs assists ascent but makes descent more costly.

• AmmonoideaRelated: Gas-filled shell chambers helped ammonoids control their position in the water.

• Antarctic toothfishRelated: Toothfish alter buoyancy as they move between deep water and shallower feeding grounds.

• DiapirRelated: A density difference supplies the upward drive for many diapirs.

• Diving duckRelated: Diving ducks must overcome buoyancy to descend and remain underwater.

• Fire whirlRelated: Hot gases rise and draw surrounding air toward the fire, helping organize the whirl.

• GrebeRelated: Grebe posture and feather condition affect how readily the bird floats or submerges.

• AerostatRelated: An aerostat rises when displaced air weighs more than the craft and its lifting gas.

• BelemnitidaRelated: Gas-filled shell chambers helped belemnites regulate their position in the water.

• BowfinRelated: The bowfin’s swim bladder helps regulate depth as well as exchange gases.

• Cornelis DrebbelRelated: Controlling buoyancy is essential to making a vessel descend and rise underwater.

• John Philip HollandRelated: Holland’s submarines controlled buoyancy to dive, remain submerged, and surface.

• NautiloidRelated: Gas-filled shell chambers help many nautiloids control their buoyancy.

• Spirit levelRelated: The bubble rises through the denser vial liquid toward the vial’s high point.

• SurfboardRelated: Buoyancy supports the surfer and board at the water’s surface.

• Aquatic animalRelated: Buoyancy can support aquatic animals and reduce the energy needed to stay afloat.

• Common seadragonRelated: An internal gas-filled swim bladder helps the seadragon maintain its position in the water.

• Geophysical fluid dynamicsRelated: Density differences create restoring forces and stratification in planetary fluids.

• Magic 8 BallRelated: Buoyancy lets the answer die rise to the window after the ball is turned.

• PteraspisRelated: Its streamlined body and tail have been interpreted in studies of how it stayed mobile in water.

• InflatableRelated: Air-filled chambers can displace water and keep boats or flotation devices afloat.

• LemnoideaeRelated: Air spaces and body shape help keep duckweed fronds at the water surface.

• Sky lanternRelated: Heated air inside the lantern is less dense than the cooler air outside.

• SpirulaRelated: Gas-filled shell chambers help Spirula maintain buoyancy in the water column.

• TarponRelated: Gas in the tarpon's swim bladder helps maintain buoyancy while it moves through the water.

• Toy balloonRelated: Helium-filled balloons rise when the displaced air weighs more than the balloon and its contents.

• Umberto NobileRelated: Hydrogen buoyancy lifted Nobile’s airships, while ballast and gas release controlled altitude.

• Vertical draftRelated: Warmer, less-dense air tends to rise, forming an updraft.

• Vertical pressure variationRelated: The vertical pressure difference across an object creates its buoyant force.

• WatercraftRelated: Buoyancy lets a watercraft float when its displacement balances its weight.
