One example would be to imagine what the Earth would be like if ice was not less dense than water and sank to the bottom of the ocean as opposed to floating.

Liquids have different densities. If one liquid is more dense than g/mL then it will sink in water,and if it less than g/mL it will float in water. Density is the quantity mass divided by volume. Salt + water/ mL is the density of the water. Have you ever heard people floating without assistance in a very salt lake. Humans usually sink in the ocean or a swimming pool.

it tells you what will float and what will sink on water for one thing. besides you're wrong about your definition of density.
