In water, every 10 meters you go down, the pressure increases by 1 bar, approximately. To this you must add the air pressure, which is also approximately 1 bar (depending on whether you want gauge pressure or absolute pressure).

Two lakes of equal depth are dammed on lake backs up 15km and the other backs up 30km What is the difference in pressure on the dams?
This question is set up to trick you. You don't need to know how much water surrounds the dam, because it is irrelevant. Assuming the atmospheric pressure is the same for both dams, depth is the only factor that affects fluid pressure. It's simply evaluating your knowledge of basic hydrostatic principles. So, for any depth, these two lakes have no difference in pressure.
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.
Why is there more pressure in the deep water?
Water pressure is caused by the weight of the water that is above it. At deeper levels there is more water above you. So there is more mass pressing on the water you are in. Pressure does not depend on the width, only on the depth. It is the same in a large basin as it is in an equally high pipe. On the surface there is also atmospheric pressure, because the atmosphere (the air) also has mass. This pressure must be added to the water pressure. It is roughly the same as 10 meters of water pressure. So, at 10 meters under water you have twice as much pressure than at the surface, at 20 meters three times as much, and so on. Seawater is heavier than freshwater, because there is salt in it. So the water pressure for every meter of depth in the sea is slightly higher than it is in a lake.
What is the difference between depth and thickness?
The depth is how deep the soil is and the thickness is the lkayer of the soil that is covered with how much the soil covering it
How much does a kilometer squared of water weigh?
A depth is required to answer your question. The mass of the water will be one million tonnes per metre of depth.
Describe how three common types of precipitation form?
It maters how much water it is which is all the ways precipitation forms
How much water is there in 1 bar of pressure?
10.20 meters in depth

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 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 much pressure is 1 Bar?
Atmospheric pressure is approximately equal to 14.7 pounds per square inch One bar is equal to one atmosphere
How much is The angle of isosceles Triangle?
There could be almost any acute angle. it maters what kind it is
How much beer is sold during an NHL game?
it maters on the team,rink,type of beer
How much pressure does your brain exert on your skull?
Pressure in the skull should be equal to atmospheric pressure which is 14 psi Explosive pressure is due to expanding gas
Does rock buried at depth have a much lower melting temperature than rock of the same composition but under normal pressures?
No. It has a much higher melting temperature because it is more difficult for it to expand due to the increased pressure at depth.
How much pressure can a submarine withstand?
It's totally dependent on the hull type, material construction, and overall design, but in general, just before a submarine reaches crush depth is as much sea pressure as it can handle.
