As someone goes dives deeper in a ocean they have more PSI acting upon them If this ocean was mercury would the same pressure be greater or less?
Pressure in a fluid at a certain depth H is proportional to the density of the fluid. Since Mercury has a much higher density then water it will exert a much larger pressure at the same depth.
What does the depth of the water determine?
The depth of water in a lake, tank, ocean - or whatever contains it will determine the hydro-static pressure at the bottom. It will also significantly influence the temperature and amount of light and thus the ecosystem at the bottom of the water.
What is the depth of ocean all over the earth?
The ocean floor is very much like dry terrain; it has mountains and valleys, so the depth is not constant all over earth.
What is the depth of the continental slope in the Indian ocean?
The depth of the Indian Ocean's continental slope is 4,000 meters Edward loves bella. SO MUCH. They had baby named skye
How much water is there in 1 bar of pressure?
10.20 meters in depth
What is the average depth in the ocean's floor?
There are so many different depth levels of the ocean, it is pretty much impossible to calculate the average depth unless every part of the ocean is measured. Update: The average is 3,700 meters. Wikipedia gives the average depth of the World Ocean (that's taking all the Oceans as one continuous body of water) as 3,790 metres (12,430 ft),
What is the depth of all of the what?
The ocean floor is very much like dry terrain; it has mountains and valleys, so the depth is not constant all over earth.
What factors makes it difficult to explore the ocean floor?
No one can go that far down to the ocean because it would be to much pressure. May your head could blow that's how much pressure it would be.
Can you make it to the bottom of the ocean?
no ur brain would explode from to much pressure
What happens to the gases in jupiters atmosphere as the depth increases?
There is so much pressure that the hydrogen gas gets turned into a liquid, a metallic state.
How does pressure change with depth why?
The pressure on an object increases with depth because there is more pushing on it. For example, four feet below the surface of water, there is a layer of water four feet thick pushing on the object and the water around it. Now several miles down, this layer of water is much thicker, and so exerts more pressure when it is pushing down. In this example I used water, but the same can be applied to any fluid, including air.
How does the water pressure 1m below the surface of the small pond compare with the water pressure 1m below the surface of a huge lake?
The pressure at the same depth in any container doesn't depend on the size of the container. The pressure one meter below the surface is the same in a pond, a lake, a swimming pool, the middle of the Pacific Ocean, or a bath-tub.
