What else can I help you with?
Does pressure decrease or increase in the ocean?
Pressure increases as you go down.
What is true about the pressure of a fluid at the specific depth?
The pressure will get stronger the further down you go. This is why it is necessary to wear special gear when you go deep into the ocean.
What causes water pressure in the ocean?
Water pressure in the ocean is caused by the weight of the water above pushing down on the water below. The deeper you go in the ocean, the greater the water pressure because there is more water above pushing down. This pressure increases at a rate of about 1 atmosphere (14.7 psi) for every 10 meters of depth.
How does pressure in the ocean vary at depth?
Every 10 meters you go down, the pressure increases by approximately 1 atmosphere or 1 bar.
What factors makes it difficult to explore the ocean floor?
No one can go that far down to the ocean because it would be to much pressure. May your head could blow that's how much pressure it would be.
Why does pressure change in the ocean floor when you go deeper?
Because all the water ontop of you is being pushed down by gravity
What three variables change as you go down deeper in the ocean?
The pressure increases It becomes darker The concentrations of minerals change
What happens to the ocean as you go down?
It gets darker and there is more water pressure. Different temperates, and different kinds of sea animals.
How does the depth vary in the ocean?
Every 10 meters you go down, the pressure increases by approximately 1 atmosphere or 1 bar.
When you go deeper in the ocean what decreases?
The pressure
How and why do temperature and pressure vary with ocean depth?
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.
Why does ocean water not go down a well in dug in the ocean?
good question! turns out, water pressure is actually too strong for most of cold new water to get Dow to the bottom!
