Yes, a solid will exert more pressure at the bottom of a liquid compared to the top due to the increase in depth and the weight of the liquid above it. This is known as hydrostatic pressure, which increases with depth in a fluid.

What is the natural state of bromine?

The element boron is a solid at standard temperature and pressure.


Is quicksand a solid or a liquid?

Quicksand is a non-Newtonian fluid, which means it can behave like both a liquid and a solid. When undisturbed, quicksand appears solid, but when pressure is applied or it is agitated, it acts like a liquid, causing things to sink in it.


Is the deep mantle mostly solid?

Of course.


How is liquid magma formed?

Liquid magma is formed deep within the Earth's mantle from the melting of solid rock due to high temperature and pressure. This molten rock can rise towards the surface through cracks or weak points in the Earth's crust, leading to volcanic eruptions.


Does hydrogen exist as a gas a liquid and a solid with Jupiter?

Probably there is some hydrogen in all of these states deep in Jupiter's atmosphere.


Why is the iron core of the Earth solid?

The iron core of the Earth is solid because of the immense pressure and high temperatures deep within the planet, which prevent the iron from melting.


Do snowshoes increase the amount of force you exert on the snow when you wear them?

No, snowshoes help distribute your weight over a larger area, which decreases the amount of pressure you exert on the snow. This prevents you from sinking deep into the snow, making it easier to walk on top of it.


Is air pressure at sea level low or high?

Air pressure at sea level is considered high because the weight of the air above exert pressure on the surface. This pressure decreases as altitude increases due to the decrease in the weight of the air column above.


What is earth liquid layer?

The only liquid layer of Earth is the outer core, composed of liquid iron and nickel. Deep in the Earth's interior is an iron and nickel core. The center of that core is solid, but there is a layer a thousand miles or more think that is liquid. Above the core is mantle material that is not necessarily considered liquid, because it is so viscous. Earth has an outer solid crust.


What forms high pressure of temperatures while remaining a solid?

Diamonds can form under high pressure and temperature conditions while remaining in a solid state. This typically occurs deep within the Earth's mantle, where intense heat and pressure combine to transform carbon into diamond crystal structures.


Why pressure inside a liquid increases withdepth?

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.

If you are submerged in a liquid denser than water what will happen to the pressure?

The pressure will get higher quicker than in water because there is a different density between the liquids, and because there is a higher density, the liquid will be heavier and would push on you more than the smaller density of water. if you would submerge deep in that liquid, you will explode at a lower distance from the surface than in water.
