Does the pressure in the ocean change the shape of a glass bottle?
The pressure in the ocean would change the shape of a glass bottle. If the water pressure was high then it would squeeze the bottle until it shattered.
What ocean features helps distribute heat around the world?
Water pressure
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.
Why it is difficult to breathe in deep ocean?
water pressure is pushing air out of lungs... the deeper u are the more pressure, the harder to breathe
Which ocean zone is characterized by high water pressure low temperatures and no sunlight?
Abyssal Zone
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.
Why is air pressure greatest at earthes surface?
Same reason water pressure is the highest at the bottom of the ocean - the amount of stuff above, pushing down.
Where is ocean floor at the greatest water depth?
the middle, between the ocean
At which ocean feature would the most amount of pressure be exerted?
Water pressure increases with depth, so the deepest spot in the ocean is probably the location of the greatest water pressure. The Marianas trench is the deepest place (10,911m) and the pressure is 108.6 MPa. For a comparason, the standard sea-level air pressure is only 101.325 kPa, or about 1000 less.
Where is fluid pressure greatest?
at the ocean and going deeper into it
Why is there pressure in the ocean?
There is pressure in all water because of the weight of the water above it pressing down
Where is the atmospheric pressure the greatest?
Near the earth's surface.
What three obstacles make ocean exploration difficult?
water pressure, ocean currents and saltyness of the water.
What is the water pressure of the arctic ocean?
Depends on the depth.
What decreases as the ocean depth decreases?
Water pressure.
Water pressure is the greatest against submerged object sides of a submerged object same top?
Water pressure is greatest against the bottom of a submerged object?
What causes water pressure in the ocean?
It is the weight of the water pressing down from above. The greater the depth the greater the pressure.
