On earth, descenting 10 metres is approximately an increase in pressure of 100,000 Pa, 1 atm, 1 bar or 780 mmHg.
Water is essentially just little molecules\elements. If the center of the earth is bottom and the eart's crust is the top then water stacks on top of itself like blankets. For simplification let's imagine layers of water 20 feet deep. Every 20 feet you descend in the ocean you are in a deeper layer of water. As you descend deeper and deeper you'll notice that each layer you come in contact with has all the previous layers sitting on top of it. Each layer adds its weight onto the layers below it. 3 Levels deep has two layers above it, 6 Layers deep has 5 layers above it and so forth. The water at each subsequent layer is compressed by this additional weight. This compression is known as pressure in this case water pressure.

∙ 8y agoThe deeper in the water you go the more pressure.
Pressure increases as you go deeper. for each six feet of depth, the pressure increases by 14 psi.

What happens to water pressure as you increase depth?
as water depth increases then so does the water pressure
What is the relationship between water depth an pressure?
The depth of water is directly related to the pressure caused by it. It is caused by gravitational force on the amount of water column in the depth.
What is the water pressure in psi at a depth of 300 feet?
At 300 feet of water depth the pressure is about 130 psi
How does pressure relate to depth?
Pressure = force / area, but > Force (weight) of water = mass * acceleration > Select a depth, choose an area the weight of water is acting on ( say 1 square inch ) calculate the force (weight) of the water column above that area (in pounds) Divide force by area = pressure (pounds per square inch (psi)) Dont forget to add atmospheric pressure (psi) to the answer.
True or false pressure increases as depth increases?
Yes, pressure does increase as your depth increases in the water
How does water pressure relate to deph?
As the depth increases the pressure goes on increasing. Pressure is same at the same level. ..........................................Gho$t
How does water pressure vary with depth?
Water pressure increases as depth increases.
What happens to water pressure as you increase depth?
as water depth increases then so does the water pressure
What is the relationship between water depth an pressure?
The depth of water is directly related to the pressure caused by it. It is caused by gravitational force on the amount of water column in the depth.
What is the water pressure in psi at a depth of 300 feet?
At 300 feet of water depth the pressure is about 130 psi
How does water pressure relate deapth?
As you get deeper the pressure of water increases.

True or false pressure increases as depth increases?
Yes, pressure does increase as your depth increases in the water
What is the water pressure in depth of 1500m?
you have to do the density of the water times by the weight times by the height
How does depth affect pressure?
More depth equals more pressure, thus why ears pop when diving in water.
How is pressure in the liquid related to depth?
Water pressure = height (depth) * density of substance * gravitational field strength
If a pressure reading is 20 psi what is the pressure in foot of water?
Water pressure at a depth of about 44 feet is about 20psi
