correct answer is sponson However a canoe is actually a displacement hull and usually dose not have a sponson. The answer is "Sponson" I am not 100% certain but a 'flotation tank' comes to mind.

Which of these hulls is a displacement hull?
a displacement hull is like a canoe's hull... it displaces water
What is the Maori word for Hull?
In Maori the hull of a canoe is called 'Kohiwi'.
What does the hull do on a boat?
Basically, the hull on a boat keeps out the water, and displaces the water to create buoyancy, which enables the boat to float.
Why don't kayaks sink?
Same way as anything else - displacement, in that the mass of water displaced by the canoe's hull is greater than the mass of the canoe itself. This means the canoe is effectively less dense than water and so has positive buoyancy and will float.
How submarines float on water?
The air trapped in the hull (this includes the buoyancy tanks) make it lighter than the water it displaces. The buoyancy tanks surround the main hull (where the people and machinery are), and can be flooded to allow the ship to sink. Refilling them with air (from compressed air tanks) allows it to return to the surface.
What is a characteristic of a catamaran a hull?
A catamaran hull is one having either dual hulls or a main hull and secondary hull (three hulls is a trimaran). Like an outrigger canoe, having a dual base in the water means that a catamaran is usually more stable than a single hull. The reduction in the "roll" of the hull can result in a smoother ride.
Why would a canoe sink if there is a leak in it?
B/ the hull would no longer displace water - as waster would be inside.

Why is the boat floating in the sea?
Its called buoyancy When a solid surface such as a boats hull is placed into water, it will only sink if first is heavy enough to fall into the water and second, if the water is able to fill it up and make it heavy in the first place.
Why does a sailboat float?
A sailboat will have positive buoyancy if the weight of the boat is less than the weight of the water it takes the place of. The weight of the water that is being occupied by the hull is displacement.
What are hydrofoils and hydroplanes?
A Hydrofoil is something that whose hull is fitted underneath with shaped vanes (foils) that lift the hull clear of the water to increase the boat's speed. A Hydroplane is something that is attachment to a plane to make it glide across water.
Why do ships float on water but steel needles sink?
Buoyancy is based on average density, not the weight of the ship's hull. As it lowers into the water, the water displaced is lighter than the hull, but much heavier than the airinside the ship's hull. As long as the combined weight of the ship and its cargo is less than the water displaced by the hull, it will float. If, however, water fills the ship instead of air, the ship (as we all know) will sink.
