I'm not quite sure, but I would say that pressure does increase as you near the center of the Earth. Some argue that when you reach the center, there would be no pressure because of the equal amount of weight on each side. My question is...is the weight equal on every side. If not, then there would be pressure inside the core of the Earth.

Linearly. Each 33 feet of depth adds one atmosphere of pressure.

Yes. For every 33 feet (10 meters) you go down, the pressure increases by 14.7 psi (1 bar).

Why is density of water more in deep water?

The density of water increases with depth due to the increase in pressure. As water molecules are packed closer together under high pressure, the density of water increases. Therefore, in deep water where the pressure is higher, the density of water is also higher.


Describe Earths atmosphere at sea levelHow does the pressure change as the distance from earth increases?

It decreases not just because of gravity. The pressure decreases because there is less air above you. As you increase your altitude, just like if you were coming up from deep under the water, there will be less fluid on top of you pushing down, so the pressure will decrease.


What do you decrease by taking a deep breath in the water to float?

Your density.


Does deep sea have high air pressure or high water pressure?

High water pressure.


Is there more pressure at the bottom of a bathtub of water 30cm deep or at a bottom of a pitcher of water 35cm deep?

There would be more pressure at the bottom of a pitcher of water 35cm deep. +++ To explain, the pressure is a function purely of depth, not volume.


How much pressure is in 328 feet of water?

If it is fresh water, and the surface is at sea level, then the pressure at the surface is 14.69 psi. As you submerge, then the pressure from the weight of the water above you is added to the air pressure above the water. For each foot that you descend, the water pressure will increase by 0.4331 psi, so at 328 feet deep, the water pressure is 142.0568 psi. Add the 14.69 psi air pressure to get 156.7468 psi.


Why is water pressure greater at the bottom of the deep end of a pool?

The water pressure is greater at the deep end of a pool because there is more water on top of that which adds to the pressure. If there is more water, the pressure wil be higher because there is more water to put weight on it.


Do snow shoes increase or decrease a persons weight in deep snow?

They don't do anything to a person's weight. What they do is allow what weight there is to be spread over a greater area, which means that the pressure on the ground is lower. With less pressure, a person doesn't sink as far into the snow.


Does the diameter of a deep water wave orbit decrease with depth?

Yes!


Does air pressure increase in a mine?

No 2. Surely if the column of air is taller, the pressure must increase. Some mines are km deep.


Will an egg crack in water?
