Will the human body explode from water pressure as when one sinks in ocean from boat?

The body will not explode, explode means to burst or shatter violently and noisily as a result of rapid combustion, decomposition, excessive internal pressure, or other process, typically scattering fragments widely. The deeper and deeper you go underwater the more and more pressure there is on your body from the weight of the water above you. But answering the question that I think you are trying to ask, yes, extreme depth can harm the body and even cause death. But in most cases, excluding submarines and Scuba diving, you would drown before the pressures of the depths would cause any harm to your body.

I think that is true as the fact the atmospheric pressure is a lot higher in water than that above sea pressure but the pressure would move inwards making it impossible for the human body to implode it would just be crushed and shatter into tiny pieces

Upwelling and downwelling?
Upwelling is caused by currents on the surface. When water moves from the bottom of the ocean towards the surface it is called upwelling. Downwelling is when more dense water sinks. This process moves nutrients back to the deep part of the ocean.
How do benthos move?
Animals that live in the benthic zone get their food from food that sinks down from above. The benthic zone is another way of saying ocean floor.
The root is an example of a photosynthetic sink tissue in plants True or False?
True. The sugars made during photosynthesis in the leaves (sugar source) are transported by the means of the pressure-flow hypothesis to sugar sinks. The roots are a sink since there is a low concentration of sugar and they need more from sugar sources to grow.
Phytoplankton play an important role in the carbon cycle because?
Phytoplankton helps to balance carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere while the ocean absorbs it. If there were no phytoplankton left, then carbon dioxide levels would increase in the atmosphere.
You have a head with no hair and legs with no feet and you think you prefer day to night What are you?
You can find bathroom sinks and faucets at homedepot store or lowes store. If you don't want to drive in the store you can shop at some websites like amazon and ebay.
What is process the ocean floor sinks?
your answer is subduction
What are 2 carbon sinks?
The ocean and soil
What is an area of high pressure where air moves aparts and sinks?
An area of high pressure where the air moves apart and sinks is an anticyclone.
When ocean plates collide with continental plates the denser ocean plate?
sinks
What does pressure do for floating and sinking?
High AIR pressure Floats And Low Pressure Sinks!
What is the process by which ocean floor sinks into the mantle?
subduction is the answer.
Why might a submarine be crushed if it sinks too low in the ocean?
Submarine hulls are subject to sea pressure, and that pressure increases the deeper the submarine goes. There are design limits to the amount of pressure that a hull can take, and if that pressure is exceeded by diving too deep, the hull will fail and will be crushed.
What happens when a land plate and an ocean plate meet?
the ocean sinks and the land expands
What do you mean by source and sinks according to the pressure flow mechanism?
arterial pressure
How do you describe convention currents by the ocean?
changing in heat in the ocean colder sinks warmer floats
What is the geological process by which the ocean floor sinks into the mantle?
subduction
How does stratification occur?
Stratification occurs when individuals or groups in a society are divided into different layers based on factors like wealth, power, and social status. This can lead to inequality and disparities in access to resources and opportunities. Social stratification is influenced by various factors such as economic systems, political structures, and cultural beliefs.
