If you were to submerge a cube that is 1MX1MX1M in water you would "displace" or move one cubic meter of water. The cube would be where water was, so it is said that the water was displaced. One measure of a ship is how much water is displaced when the ship floats. Something that is floating will displace its own weight in water.Water displacement moes the water so you can tell the volume of an object.

Displacement is a measure of mass as in a ship's displacement. A ship will displace the amount of water equal to it's mass or weight. The amount of water displaced, by volume, can vary depending on whether the ship is in salt water or fresh water. A ship will displace less water in the ocean than it will, let's say in a river. A gallon (US) of sea water weighs about 8.55lbs (3.88kg), while a gallon (US) weighs about 8.35lbs (3.79kg). If the same ship were in a river or lake of fresh water it would sit lower in the fresh water then it would in the ocean. Ocean's water, being heaver, is then more buoyant.

What is water displacement?
Water displacement is simply when something (e.g. a block) is put into water, and the water level rises. This is because the block is taking up space, and the water has to move somewhere, and the only place to go is up.
What is the displacement of water?
When objects cannot be easily measured with a ruler water displacement is used to measure the objects volume. Water displacement measures the amount of water that is displaced, or moved. The amount that the waster rises is mL indicates the volume of the object in Cm3
