pressure AND temperature increase as you go deeper into the earth's crust.
pressure: because more and more weight is being forced downward.
temperature: because the middle of the earth is magma, therefore the closer you get to it, the hotter it's going to feel.
The pressure is greater at 20 m below the surface of the sea. Pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the water above. Each additional meter of depth adds more pressure, so the pressure will be higher at 20 m compared to 10 m below the surface.
At a depth of 500 m below the surface, the pressure would be approximately 5 atmospheres (1 atm for every 10 m of depth).
Pressure is greater at 20 m below the surface of the sea than at 10 m below due to the increase in water column above, causing an increase in hydrostatic pressure. The pressure at any point in a fluid is directly proportional to the depth of the fluid above that point.
For the same reason that water pressure is less three feet below the surface than it is 30 feet below the surface. On the ground (on earth) we are at "the bottom of the pool" - the air is heaviest there.
The pressure at 500 m below the surface is approximately 49.03 kPa. This can be calculated using the formula P = ρgh, where P is the pressure, ρ is the density of the fluid (assuming water), g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the depth.
it increases
As the distance from Earth's surface increases, the air pressure decreases. This is because there is less air above pushing down on the air below. The decrease in air pressure is why it becomes harder to breathe at higher altitudes.
The tectonic plates below earths surface shape earths landforms
At depths of 50 to 200 km below Earth's surface rocks will melt.

they form above earths surface (THIS ANSWER IS NOT CORRECT) They Form BELOW earths surface(:
Standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is about 14.7 PSI. So, then what is the pressure at about 5,645 feet below the surface of the earth?
