Explain why dams on deep lakes should be thicker at the bottom than near the top?
Water pressure increases with depth. So in a deep lake the bottom of the damn needs to be thicker to accommodate the greater water pressure.
Why dams must be constructed so that they are much thicker at the bottom than the top?
Because the water pressure at the bottom of the dam is much more than the top.
Why are dams built stronger and broader at the bottom?
Because water pressure is more intense at depth than it is near the surface - hence the dam has to be stronger at the bottom - it withstands more pressure at the bottom.
