When I worked for a state environmental agency, we used to use a display like that to explain groundwater contamination. Gasoline, like the vegetable oil, floats on top of an aquifer. But chloronated hydrocarbons sink to the bottom of a water table, similar to the corn syrup. (But not quite the same, since corn syrup CAN mix with the water and doesn't separate out completely.)jublkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06217297649484707101noreply@blogger.com
