How does a submarine keep from getting crushed at the bottom of the ocean?

The thick, heavy steel of its hull, combined with design elements such as internal steel crossbeams withstand the pressure of water pushing against them from outside. Only a few special research subs can actually go all the way to the bottom of the oceans. Most military submarines can only go down about 1000 feet before the water pressure is too great.

Why is a submarine in danger of being crushed if it travels to the bottom of the ocean?
The pressure exerted on the hull of the sub will get too great and crush it.
When a submarine expolres the ocean bottom what type of currents affect it?
deep ocean currents.
Why might a submarine be crushed if it sinks too low in the ocean?
Submarine hulls are subject to sea pressure, and that pressure increases the deeper the submarine goes. There are design limits to the amount of pressure that a hull can take, and if that pressure is exceeded by diving too deep, the hull will fail and will be crushed.
which of these changes does a submarine encounter as it returns from the bottom of the ocean to the surface of the ocean?
The amount of sunlight increases
When a submarine explores the ocean bottom what type of affect it?
tidal current
When a submarine explores the ocean bottom what type of currents affect it?
tidal current
What does maddy mccann and a submarine have in common?
they are both at the bottom of the ocean full of seamen
What is the answer to the case leaky bottom on the great ocean rescue?
The answer to the location of the submarine is B.
Why can't a submarine reach the deepest part of the ocean?
there is too much water pressure so it will be crushed under all the weight.
How deep can a sub dive?
The deepest submarine is built to go 10000 meters under water. This is so they can go to the bottom of the ocean floor.
When a submarine gets closer to the bottom of the ocean what is it more likely to encounter?
sunlight increases
When did the first submarine reach the bottom of the ocean?
January 23, 1960. The Trieste made it to the bottom of Challeger Deep which is the deepest point in all the world's oceans.
