  1. When a ship enters the sea from a river what will be the effect?
    1. It lowers
    2. It sways
    3. It rises a little
    4. It jolts
Correct Option: C

When a ship enters the sea from a river, it rises a little since salt water is denser than river water. As the density of river water is less than that of the sea water, the water displaced by the ship in the river is more than that displaced in the sea. So it rises as it enters sea from river.
