What is the water pressure of the arctic ocean?
Depends on the depth.
What decreases as the ocean depth decreases?
Water pressure.
What is the relationship between ocean depth and pressure?
The pressure (force per cm2) at a particular depth is the weight of water above that square centimetre.
What is the pressure of the bottom of the crust?
It depends where in the ocean you mean! To work this out: At sea level, the Earth's atmosphere exerts a pressure of 1 bar. Then each 10 meter depth of Sea Water also exerts a pressure of 1 bar. So take your ocean bottom depth (in meters) divide it by 10 and add 1. This will give you the pressure at that depth of ocean. alot
What describes how temperature and pressure change with depth below Earth's surface?
Both temperature and pressure increase with depth.
What is a Zone of rapid change in ocean temperature is called the?
A rapid change in temperature with depth in the ocean is called thermocline. A rapid change in density with depth in the ocean is called the pynocline.Thermocline
What is a rapid change in ocean density with change in depth called?
Pycnocline
Why does fluid Pressure change with the elevation and depth?
At a greater depth, the weight of all the liquid (or gas) above adds to the pressure.
Why does velocity of water change with depth?
The primary change is of pressure, increasing at 1 Bar per 10 metres of depth; but in the oceans, the temperature and salinity also alter in subtle ways.
How does water pressure change with depth?
the cat in the fiddle
A rapid change in density with depth in the ocean is called the?
pycnocline
What causes water pressure in the ocean?
It is the weight of the water pressing down from above. The greater the depth the greater the pressure.
