Buoyancy
Definition: It is an upward force that keeps things floating.
Example: liquid and gas
All fluids,gases as well as liquids move out of the way to make way for you.
It also pushes back towards you in all directions.
Did you know that buoyancy is not the only force that acts on a fluid?
Gravity does too. When they work together you get Archimedes' Principal.
