The pressure at the bottom of the ocean can be determined by the formula P = dgh, where d = 1025 kg per cubic meter, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the depth of the water in meters. At the bottom of the Marianas Trench (11034 meters), the pressure would be 1.11 E5 kPa, or 1095 times normal air pressure at sea level.

Where in the ocean is water pressure the greatest?
At the bottom of the Mariana Trench (Pacific Ocean), where water pressure is about eight tons per square inch.
What is the pressure of the bottom of the crust?
It depends where in the ocean you mean! To work this out: At sea level, the Earth's atmosphere exerts a pressure of 1 bar. Then each 10 meter depth of Sea Water also exerts a pressure of 1 bar. So take your ocean bottom depth (in meters) divide it by 10 and add 1. This will give you the pressure at that depth of ocean. alot
Why water at bottom of ice in Atlantic ocean not converted to ice?
The pressure at the bottom of the ocean is very high. Water is unique in that as pressure increases, its melting point decreases. This means that it stays liquid a lower temperatures when it is under high pressure. The presence of salt in the water lowers the melting point even more.
How are natural gas deposits formed?
Pressure from sediment turned decaying plankton at the bottom of the ocean into natural gas.
Why does it freeze at the bottom of the ocean?
The bottom of the ocean doesn't freeze.
Where in the ocean is water pressure the greatest?
At the bottom of the Mariana Trench (Pacific Ocean), where water pressure is about eight tons per square inch.
Would a rock crack from water pressure at the bottom of the ocean?
No.
Where is the greatest pressure in the ocean?
At the bottom of the Mariana Trench (Pacific Ocean), where water pressure is about eight tons per square inch.
Which best explains how natural gas deposits formed?
Pressure from sediment turned decaying plankton at the bottom of the ocean into natural gas.
Can you make it to the bottom of the ocean?
no ur brain would explode from to much pressure
What has the author V J Monacella written?
V. J. Monacella has written: 'The pressure on the sea bottom due to a moving pressure distribution' -- subject(s): Hydrostatic pressure, Ocean bottom
Does water pressure increases depth increases?
Yes, it does. The more you advance towards the bottom of the ocean, the more the water pressure increases. Which is why you implode before reaching the bottom.

Why has no one been back to the bottom of the ocean?
Because pressure would kill the person
How does bathyscaphe work?
The bathyscaphe works by turning on its engine and it dives into the water and a lot of air is trapped inside it so it swims to the bottom of the sea/ocean. The pressure at the bottom of the sea/ocean is enough to squish a human.

Why do fish eyes and guts protrude from their cavities when forced from the bottom of the ocean to the surface?
changes in atmospheric pressure
