because sicience says it has to!!!!!! DUH!!!!!

That second word should be "science", anyway, the better answer is that as depth increases, it gets colder. As the water gets colder, it becomes more dense. Now, do not confuse density with pressure. Density is, for all intents and purposes, a material, solid, liquid or gas, becoming more compact. Pressure can be a function of this, but it is also the weight of the mass acting on itself, and what ever it is acting against, such as the ocean bottom, or anything in it, such as a diver, or a submarine.

How does pressure change the density of sea water?

Pressure increases the density of sea water because it compresses the water molecules closer together, reducing the volume occupied by the same amount of water. As pressure increases with depth in the ocean, the density of sea water also increases. This effect is known as compressibility.


How does the pressure at a certain depth in sea water differ from that at the same depth in river water?

Since liquid pressure is function of density,acceleration due to gravity and depth of liquid level so here density of sea water is greater than that of river water ,so liquid pressure in sea must be more.


What is the density of the water the sea lions live in?

Otters can change their density to either float on the surface of the water, or sink. Therefore, their density can vary.


Can sunken ships ever reach the lowest sea floor or does the weight of the water pass the weight of the steel?

The "weight" of the water is an ambiguous term that could be referring either to the water pressure or the density. Even though the water pressure increases with depth, the density of the water doesn't change much. So anything that sinks on the surface will generally go to the bottom regardless of depth. There are some layered variations in salinity that can cause some density variations, and there might be a few materials whose density is very close to sea water that could reach a region in which they would be suspended.


How does a density of sea water change with depth?

The density of seawater increases with depth due to the increased pressure at greater depths compressing the water molecules closer together. This increased density can also be influenced by temperature and salinity variations within different layers of the ocean.


Why sea water changes according to deepness?

the density does not change, only the pressure


Is a halocline an abrupt rapid change in salinity?

Yes, as changes in salinty affects the density of sea water, another of putting it would be that a Halocline is simply a region below the surface of a body of water where there is a significant increase or decrease in density.


Where will you experience greater pressure swimming in the sea or in the pool at the same depth?

Salt water is more dense than fresh water. The added density adds pressure, so the pressure will be greater at the same depth in salt water. This is also the cause of the increase of buoyancy in saltwater.


The density of sea water increases as?

the density of sea water increases as salinity increases and temperature decreases
