The deeper you go in the ocean the greater the water pressure Use logical reasoning to infer why?

This is because ocean water has weight, and believe it or not, air has weight too. The water and air pressure add up when you go farther underwater. This causes there to be higher water pressure as you go deeper because the water weight adds up.

How does pressure change as you go from the surface toward the center if the earth?
The pressure increases as you go deeper. The deeper you go the greater the pressure
How does pressure change as you go from the surface toward the center if earth?
The pressure increases as you go deeper. The deeper you go the greater the pressure
When swimming underwater pressure becomes greater?
Correct Answer= "As you go deeper"
What happens the deeper you swim?
The deeper you swim, the greater pressure becomes because there is more water above you pressing down.
Why is the earth denser as you go deeper under ground?
Because the pressure increases with depth. The same as if you go underwater, the weight of water above you increases as you go deeper, exerting a greater pressure on your body. This greater pressure decreases the unit volume of the matter, so the density increases.
When swimming underwater pressure becomes greater when?
I believe when you go deeper..... I'm about to take the test...
Does the bottom surface of a submarine experience the same hydrostatic pressure as the top surface?
No, it will be greater Imagine pressure as the weight of a column of water over an area, typically one sq. in. So the deeper you go, the greater the weight, the greater the pressure.
What causes the pressure to increase as you go deeper below the crust?
The pressure increases as you go deeper below the Earth's crust due to the weight of the overlying rock and other materials. As you move deeper into the Earth, the layers above exert a greater force, causing the pressure to rise. This phenomenon is known as lithostatic pressure.
Why do bubbles rising to the surface of the ocean expand?
The deeper the bubbles are in the ocean, the greater the pressure is. As they rise to the surface, the pressure decreases, allowing the bubbles to expand.
Why do deep sea divers require greater protection than scuba divers?
The deeper the diver goes, the higher the pressure is.
Some rocks are pushed deeper into the Earth. As these rocks experience greater heat and pressure what type of rock will they turn into if they do not melt?
Metamorphic
Why submarine reach the deepest parts of the ocean?
"Regular" subs don't. The deeper you go, the greater the pressure. Eventually they'll crumble.
