Answer:

The only reason wood floats is because it is less dense and has big openings and gaps which allows air in.

Wood that sinks has very tiny openings. The ratio between weight and volume is called density. An object that is less dense than water can be held up by water, and so it floats.

Hope this helps! please mark me brainliest!

God bless :)
