hi. I am done my project but I need one word I can not find. I did a project on buoyancy. I know that gravity is what is pushing down on the boat, but is there a word for the water pushing up on the boat? My mom and I looked online. I can not find a vocabulary word that is right and I have to include vocabulary terms with my project.
thank you very much. Please help because my project is due on Thursday and I really love science and want it to be perfect. Thank You.

Maybe I am missing something here, but what do you think buoyancy means?

n.
The tendency or capacity to remain afloat in a liquid or rise in air or gas.
The upward force that a fluid exerts on an object less dense than itself.
