The system in which Pandora is located in is quite different than our own. Many things affect the magnetic fields on Pandora. Massive amounts of the superconductive element Unobtainuim is located beneath the surface; this element can both repel magnetic fields and trap them within itself. With the presence of this element, along with the proximity to the gas giant Polyphemus, the planet Pandora orbits, and the interaction of their respective magnetic fields, Pandora is home to erratic and intense magnetic field activity.

The Hallelujah Mountains themselves are thought to be volcanic rock that was repelled from the surface by very high amounts of magnetic field activity, and cooled in midair. The chunks themselves are rich in Unobtainium and are constantly caught in a magnetic flux between the field from the Unobtainium in the craters on the surface and the mutual magnetic repulsion of the Unobtainium within the broken away pieces. This causes them to hover in midair.

The Hallelujah mountains, or the "floating mountains" of Pandora. Think about it. Floating mountains don't generally have stupid names do they?

What causes something to sink or float?

What causes it to sink or float is the density. The density of water is 1.0. If the object's density is more 1.0 then it sinks, but if the object's density is less then 1.0 then the object will float.
