The pressure (force per cm2) at a particular depth is the weight of water above that square centimetre.
The carbonate compensation depth (CCD) is the depth in the ocean at which the rate of calcium carbonate production equals the rate of dissolution. Below this depth, calcium carbonate dissolves due to increased pressure and decreasing pH, preventing accumulation. The CCD varies with ocean chemistry, temperature, and biological activity.
The average depth of the ocean is about 2.5 miles.
The pressure under the ocean is greater than under the Great Lakes because the density of seawater is higher than freshwater. Seawater is also influenced by the weight of the water column above due to the depth of the ocean, leading to higher pressure.
The average depth of the Pacific Ocean is around 12,080 feet.
Generally speaking the greater the depth of the warm water, the stronger the hurricane can get. Is is because a greater depth means a greater volume of warm water to supply energy for a hurricane.
The relationship between fluid density and pressure can be described by the hydrostatic equation, which states that pressure in a fluid increases with increasing fluid density. This relationship is important in understanding how pressure changes with depth in a fluid column, such as in the ocean or in a container.
The relationship between depth and sunlight is that sunlight penetration decreases as depth increases in water. This is due to the absorption and scattering of light by water molecules and particles. Consequently, less sunlight reaches deeper parts of the water column, affecting the availability of light for photosynthesis and primary production.
Depends on the depth.
Water pressure.
Depth is a measure of distance between the surface and the ocean floor.
Pressure changes very easily. The deeper that you go there is more pressure. For example, when you dive into the ocean, there is not only a whole sky-worth of air pushing down on you, but you are also being pressured by the tons of water above you. On the flipside, when you travel to a greater altitude, pressure decreases. For exapmle, when you climb a mountian, there is less air above you pushing down on you then there is on sealevel.
It depends where in the ocean you mean! To work this out: At sea level, the Earth's atmosphere exerts a pressure of 1 bar. Then each 10 meter depth of Sea Water also exerts a pressure of 1 bar. So take your ocean bottom depth (in meters) divide it by 10 and add 1. This will give you the pressure at that depth of ocean. alot

Because water is denser than air.
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.
