Yes, the pressure increases with depth.


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


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.


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.


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.
