Liquid pressure = weight density x depth
When you swim under water, you can feel the water pressure acting against your eardrums. The deeper you swim, the greater the pressure. The cause of pressure is simply the weight of the water (and air) above pushing against you. If you swim twice as deep, there is twice the weight of water above, and twice the water pressure.
The pressure exerted by the liquid depends on density as well as depth. If you were submerged in a liquid more dense than water, the pressure would be proportionally greater.

What else can I help you with?
What is the pressure inside the bubbles of a boiling liquid?
The pressure inside the bubbles of a boiling liquid is equivalent to the vapor pressure of the liquid at that particular temperature. As the liquid heats up, the vapor pressure increases until it matches the surrounding atmospheric pressure, causing bubbles to form and the liquid to boil.
When atmospheric pressure increases what happpens to the boiling temperature of a liquid?
The boiling temperature of a liquid increases as the gas pressure a the liquid's surface increases.
When a gas is dissolved into a liquid what happens when the pressure increases?
More gas dissolves into the liquid.
Why does a syringe plunger go back in if you pull it out?
When the plunger is pulled, the volume inside increases. This reduces the pressure inside, and the air pressure outside forces liquid in, in an effort to make the pressure inside and outside the syringe equal again.
Is the vapor pressure of a liquid a linear function of temperature?
If the temperature of the liquid is raised, more molecules escape to the vapor until equilibrium is once again established. The vapor pressure of a liquid, therefore, increases with increasing temperature.
With regard to the effects of pressure on boiling point the change of state from a gas to a liquid is?
the point at which a liquid starts to 2 boil is defined by when the pressure inside the liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure. so the higher the altitude the lower the pressure, which means the temperature at which the liquid will start 2 boil will b lower. this applies for when a gas goes to a liquid as well
What forces the liquid upward in a straw?
The pressure difference between the atmosphere and inside the straw causes the liquid to be pushed upward. When you create a low pressure by sucking on the straw, the higher air pressure outside the straw pushes the liquid up to equalize the pressure difference.
Why does the height of the column in a barometer changes as atmospheric pressure changes?
As the atmospheric pressure changes, the force pushing on the surface of the liquid changes. Therefore,the height of the liquid in the tube increases as the atmospheric pressure increases.
Does the boiling point of a liquid decreases increases or stay the same if the intermolecular force increases?
Generally, the boiling point of a liquid increases if the intermolecular force, i.e. pressure, increases.
What are the factors on which liquid pressure depends?
Liquid pressure depends on the depth of the liquid, the density of the liquid, and the gravitational acceleration acting on the liquid. The pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the liquid above and is directly proportional to the density of the liquid.
Can pressure affect the solubility of a substances in a solution?
Pressure can affect the solubility but the effect is not important.
How does pressure exerted by a liquid increase with depth?
It increases linearly, assuming the liquid is incompressible.
