How and why do temperature and pressure vary with ocean depth?

At sea level,the pressure of the atmosphere pushing down on the ocean surface is reffered to as 1 atmosphere of pressure.An atmosphere is the pressure exerted on a surface at sea level by the column of air above it.As you go below the oceans surface ,the pressure increases because of the force of the water molecules pushing down.

How does pressure due to a liquid held in a container vary with depth amount and shape and size of the container?

How do weather fronts compare?
The air pressure can change, the temperature can vary and many more
What temperature does water evaporate and what temperature does water freeze?
in atmospheric pressure water evaporates at 100 degrees Celsius and freeze at 0 degrees Celsius. This may vary based on pressure
Why does earth's air temperature vary greatly during the day while it's ocean temperature only varies slightly?
The atmosphere has a lower heat capacity.
What liquid becomes a gas at 100 degrees celsius?
Water will become a gas at approximately that temperature (the temperature may vary, depending mainly on the pressure).
How does pressure in the ocean vary at depth?
Every 10 meters you go down, the pressure increases by approximately 1 atmosphere or 1 bar.
How does atmosphere pressure vary with altitude?
How does liquid pressure vary with depth
How does water pressure vary with depth?
Water pressure increases as depth increases.
How does the depth vary in the ocean?
Every 10 meters you go down, the pressure increases by approximately 1 atmosphere or 1 bar.
How does the atmosphere vary with altitude?
How does liquid pressure vary with depth
Does pressure vary inside earth?
Yes, the pressure increases with depth.
What is a Thermocline and where it is?
A thermocline is a rapid change in temperature with depth in the ocean. Depending on the latitude and season, thermoclines can be present or absent and vary in depth of occurrence, however a thermocline will usually be found in the mesopelagic zone.
What is a thermocline and where is it located?
A thermocline is a rapid change in temperature with depth in the ocean. Depending on the latitude and season, thermoclines can be present or absent and vary in depth of occurrence, however a thermocline will usually be found in the mesopelagic zone.
Why does temperature vary with height?
As temperature increase pressure will increase
Does pressure vary with dept due to the force of gravity?
Yes, pressure increases with depth as a result of the weight of water above a given depth. Weight is caused/determined by gravity.
How does the pressure exerted by a liquid vary with direction and depth?
The pressure exerted by a liquid increases with depth. This is known as hydrostatic pressure and is directly proportional to the density of the liquid. The pressure variation with direction is isotropic, meaning it is the same regardless of the direction taken in the liquid.
