Pressure increases because as you go further down, more water is above you being pulled down by gravity.

What pushes sea water out under pressure?

Floods, of course. Sea water becomes big like waves (tidal waves), in the sea whoch lead to floods and thus, pushes sea water out under pressure.


How weather affects evaporation of water from land and sea?

Evaporation increase with the increase of temperature and decrease of pressure..


Does atmospheric pressure still exert a force on you when you are under water?

Atmospheric pressure exerts more force on you if you are deeper than 10 meters. At 10m below sea level the atmospheric pressure is double that of on land and it increase with every 10 metres that you descend


What is the pressure above sea level in mmHg?

The atmospheric pressure at sea level is typically around 760 mmHg. As you increase in altitude above sea level, the atmospheric pressure decreases. For example, at 5,000 feet above sea level, the atmospheric pressure may be around 625 mmHg.


Does increases in pressure increase the compressibility of liquids?

No, increases in pressure do not increase the compressibility of liquids. Liquids are considered to be nearly incompressible under most conditions, meaning their volume does not change significantly with changes in pressure.


Does atmospheric pressure increase or decrease under sea level?

It increases. The lower you go, the more mass there is in the column of air (or water) above you. The earth's gravitational attraction pulls that column downward. In a fluid, the pressure is equal in all directions.


What is the absolute pressure at 17 fsw?

The determine the pressure at 17 feet under sea water (FSW) you need to calculate the pressure at sea level which is 14.7psi. Then add .0447 per foot under sea level. S0 14.7psi added to 17*(.0445). it would equal 22.265 psi or the absolute pressure.


Will the evaporation rate of gasoline increase if placed under pressure?

No, the rate of evaporation will decrease as pressure is increased.


Psia at sea level under standard condiions is?

Psia at sea level under standard conditions is equal to 14.7 pounds per square inch absolute. This value represents the atmospheric pressure exerted at sea level under standard conditions of temperature and pressure.
