Best Answer

The pressure of water in the organism is equal to the outside water pressure.

This is entirely because the organisms dwelling on the seabed evolved in the presence of high pressure water and formed their cells based on high pressure water.

You are unaware of the atmospheric pressure for the same reason, the internal pressure beneath your skin is also atmospheric.

Humans drown in water because we cannot inhale air into our lungs. Fish can breathe in water because they have gills which allow them to extract oxygen from the water.

Why do scientists use sea-exploration robots?

They use the sea-exploration robots to look and explore places in the ocean where it is not safe for human divers. There are certain parts of the ocean where the pressure from the water can crush a human being and ultimately kill them. If the water pressure does not crush the human there is the chance and the equipment could be damaged also ending in termination. Also under the water it can be difficult to sea hence why cameras and technology are involved.

Why doesn't air pressure cursh objects?

Air pressure WILL crush objects. A standard experiment is to fill a 1 gallon can with water, and then closely fit a small diameter hose to the outlet. Invert the can, and if your hose was indeed sufficiently small, the water will drain out, and the can will collapse due to the air pressure from outside overcoming the strength of the can walls. Air pressure will not crush solid objects in general for they are already as dense as they can become.
