It’s
because an iron ship is not completely solid. It has full of air filled in it.
So the average density of the ship as a whole is less than the density of
water. Therefore immersed portion of the ship displaces water equal to its
weight. So the ship floats whereas a sheet of iron is compact and there are no
air spaces inside it. Iron is denser than that of water. The weight of the
sheet is greater than the weight of the water displaced by the sheet. So it
sinks.

Which pole is colder, the North or the South?
Both
Polar Regions of the earth are cold, primarily because they receive far less
solar radiation than the tropics and mid-latitudes do. At either pole the sun
never rises more than 23.5 degrees above the horizon and both locations
experience six months of continuous darkness. Moreover, most of the sunlight
that does shine on the Polar Regions is reflected by the bright white surface.
The
South Pole the average temperature is about 56 degrees below zero degrees
Fahrenheit (−49 degrees Celsius). At the North Pole the average temperature is
a relatively balmy 20 degrees below zero (−29 degrees Celsius).
