The oil is heavier (aka "denser") than the water. It is more heavily packed with molecules than the water. The oil slowly seeps to the bottom and the water rises above it. The two do not immediately mix due to the insolubility of oil. I hope this helps and please don't forget to make me the Brainliest :-)
