Why is water pressure greater at the bottom of the deep end of a pool?

The water pressure is greater at the deep end of a pool because there is more water on top of that which adds to the pressure. If there is more water, the pressure wil be higher because there is more water to put weight on it.

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.
Is there more pressure at the bottom of a bathtub of water 30cm deep or at a bottom of a pitcher of water 35cm deep?
There would be more pressure at the bottom of a pitcher of water 35cm deep. +++ To explain, the pressure is a function purely of depth, not volume.
Where is greater pressure at the bottom of a large basin of water 20cm deep or a pitcher of water 30cm deep?
The deeper water in the pitcher, of course. The pressure doesn't depend on the lateral size of the body of water, only the depth. Otherwise, you woudn't be able to dip a toe in the ocean!
What is the pressure of water at the bottom of a swimming pool that is 1.8m deep?
About 17psi at 1.8m
Which has more pressure The bottom of a lake 7M deep or the bottom of a river 2M shallower than the lake but holds greater volume of water?
This is clearly homework and Wiki will not help you cheat so it is time to get out your notes or book and think about this question. Get to work.
What happens to the pressure in human lungs in deep waters?
There is greater pressure the deeper you go in water. So if you go too deep, the pressure in the human lungs will be so great and too much that the persons lungs will collapse.
Which dam must be stronger one that holds back 100000 cubic meters of water 10m deep or one that holds back 1000 cubic meters of water 20m deep?
At a greater depth, there is a greater pressure, period. The amount of water in the dam is irrelevant.
When you are bathing on a stony beach why do the stones hurt your feet less when you get in deep water?
In deep water, you are buoyed up by the water displaced and as a result, you don't exertas much pressure against the stones on the bottom. When you are up to your neck inwater, you hardly feel the bottom at all.
Where is air pressure densest?
At the bottom of a deep mine.
Why do deep sea divers require greater protection than scuba divers?
The deeper the diver goes, the higher the pressure is.
Do you experience more pressure when you swim on the surface of water or under the surface?
Of course when you swim under the surface of the water. The lower you go in the water, the greater the pressure. That's why divers have gauges with them to determine their depth or to know how deep they are in the ocean.
Does deep sea have high air pressure or high water pressure?
High water pressure.
