The pressure on an object increases with depth because there is more pushing on it. For example, four feet below the surface of water, there is a layer of water four feet thick pushing on the object and the water around it. Now several miles down, this layer of water is much thicker, and so exerts more pressure when it is pushing down. In this example I used water, but the same can be applied to any fluid, including air.

∙ 12y agoIn liquids, pressure varies with depth. As the depth or height increases, the pressure applied by the liquid also increases.
This can be related using a formula:
Pressure in liquids= density*height*gravitational pull.

∙ 12y agoI don't completely understand American football, but when the runner with the ball
is tackled, and the entire opposing team all run over to jump on him one by one, I'm
guessing that as more people pile on, he feels the pressure growing. The reason
I think that is because more people on the pile means more weight on him.
Similarly, the deeper you are in the sea, the more weight of water there is on top of you.
And the deeper you are in the atmosphere, the more weight of air there is piled on you.

Wiki User
∙ 8y agoThe pressure at any given point inside Earth is basically the weight of all the rock on top of it. The deeper you go the more rock there is weighing down on you, which increases pressure.

Why does pressure change change with elevation and depth?
Pressure drops at higher elevations because of the decrease in the weight of air. Under the water, pressure climbs with increasing depth because of the combined weight of the water and that of the atmosphere.
How do pressure and temperature change inside earth as depth increase?
both temperature and pressure increase as you go down inside earth. hi I am epic
What happen with temperature and pressure as earth's depth increases?
Both temperature and pressure increase as depth increases.
Why does the pressure increase under soil?
Soil pressure increases with depth due to the overburden or self-weight of the soil and also due to loads imposed upon the soil. For example, the pressure variation below the depth of soil is linear and the relation is given by pressure = unit wt * depth. As depth increases, there will be a linear increase in the soil pressure.
How does pressure change as you go deeper in to the earth?
it changes as you go deeper because the more you go down the pressure is harder because of all of the rocks and the temperature change because of the mantle, inner core, and the outer core but mostly out of the inner core.
What describes how temperature and pressure change with depth below Earth's surface?
Both temperature and pressure increase with depth.
Why does fluid Pressure change with the elevation and depth?
At a greater depth, the weight of all the liquid (or gas) above adds to the pressure.
How does water pressure change with depth?

Why does velocity of water change with depth?
The primary change is of pressure, increasing at 1 Bar per 10 metres of depth; but in the oceans, the temperature and salinity also alter in subtle ways.
Can attitude and depth affect fluid pressure?
Yes!!! The altitude and depth cause the fuid to change.
Why does pressure change change with elevation and depth?
Pressure drops at higher elevations because of the decrease in the weight of air. Under the water, pressure climbs with increasing depth because of the combined weight of the water and that of the atmosphere.
How do depth and temperature affect pressure?
Depth and temperature affect pressure by increasing the pressure as the depth increases. As depth increases, temperature often falls.
How does water pressure vary with depth?
Water pressure increases as depth increases.
Relationship between liquid pressure and depth?
The greater the depth, the greater the pressure.
Which is true about the pressure of a fluid at a specific depth?
The pressure of a fluid generally increases with depth. This therefore means that at a specific depth the pressure of a fluid is constant.
What is the difference between liquid pressure and depth?
Liquid pressure depends on depth. It can be calculated from liquid density times depth.
How do pressure and temperature change inside earth as depth increase?
both temperature and pressure increase as you go down inside earth. hi I am epic
