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.
No. Igneous rock is formed from the solidification of magma or lava. Diamond is a mineral which is formed at great depth below the surface, from intense pressure and heat.
The formula relating the pressure in a liquid to the depth of the liquid is P = P0 + dgh. P is the pressure, P0 is atmospheric pressure, d is the density of the fluid, g is the acceleration of gravity, and h is height below the surface of the water.
Below sea level atmospheric pressure increases with depth. Air pressure at sea level is about 14.7 psia. Air pressure below sea level would be slightly higher.
30 degrees Celsius for each kilometer of depth near Earth's surface
it increases
temperature increases with depth
At depths of 50 to 200 km below Earth's surface rocks will melt.
50km
1.4
gradient
The greater the depth the greater the pressure.
the pressure decreases the pressure increases
Both temperature and pressure increase with depth.
As the depth increases, the density increases also.
the plates slide in place
