Is the buoyant force caused by the increase in density in depth fluid?

Buoyancy is proportional to fluid density but the question seems to imply density increasing with depth.
Gases such as the atmosphere behave in that way.
Liquids do not because they are to all intents and purposes incompressible. A cubic metre of water in Lake Baikal would still have a mass of 1Tonne whether at the surface or down at the bottom.

Does buoyant force change with depth?
Never. Because buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced liquid. The same volume would get diplaced even though the depth is changed
How does the density of water change with depth?
the density of sea increases with depth
How does the density of a rock affect its ability to float?
If the density of ANY object is less than 1.00, then it will float in fresh water. If the density is greater than 1.00, the object will sink in fresh water. If the object's density is precisely 1.00, it will be "neutrally buoyant" and will neither rise nor sink; it will remain at whatever depth you place it.

How does the pressure exerted by a liquid change as density of the liquid changes?
In general, yes. For a simple situation of a constant gravitational force, the equation is P=rho*g*h. where rho = density, g = 9.8ms^-2, h corresponds to depth.
As a person dives toward the bottom of a swimming pool the pressure increases noticeably Does the buoyant force also increase Justify your answer Neglect any change in water density with depth?
The reason why things float is that gravity addresses only the mass regardless the volume. so when a person dives deep, although he moves away the same volume, the buoyant force increases because the pressure increases, and sice the pressure affects the body from every where the buoyant force increase.
Will a rock gain or lose buoyant force as it sinks deeper in water or will the buoyant force remain the same as it goes deepr in the water?
the buoyant force will remain the same because the rock will displace the same amount of water volume at any depth. Theoretically, it will gain buoyancy as it sinks, because when an objects density matches the density of the water around it, and water becomes denser as it falls deeper, it will be neutrally buoyant or floating. But since a rock is always going to be more dense than water it would still sink.
Does buoyant force change with depth?
Never. Because buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced liquid. The same volume would get diplaced even though the depth is changed
Why does buoyant force act upward?
The buoyant force on an object submerged in a fluid is caused by the pressure difference between the top and bottom of the object. To overcome the gravitational force, the buoyant force acts in the upward direction. The larger pressure at greater depth pushes upward on the object.
Does the soil porosity increase as the depth increases?
Bulk density generally increases with soil depth due to increasing pressure from the soil column above. Porosity is inversely related to bulk density, thus porosity should decrease as soil depth increases.

Why is density of water more in deep water?
The density of water increases with depth due to the increase in pressure. As water molecules are packed closer together under high pressure, the density of water increases. Therefore, in deep water where the pressure is higher, the density of water is also higher.
How does an objects volume affect buoyancy?
If the mass stays the same, then when an object gets larger, its density decreases. The larger density=the more bouyancy
