What is the apparent depth of an object whose real depth below the water surface is 5 m?
its apparent depth is 1.5m.
Where is the pressure greater . in 10 m below the surface of the sea or 20 m below the surface of the sea?
The greater the depth the greater the pressure.
What is a wave base?
The wave base is the deepest depth below the oceans surface that is affected by the waves passage.
How does the water pressure 1m below the surface of the small pond compare with the water pressure 1m below the surface of a huge lake?
The pressure at the same depth in any container doesn't depend on the size of the container. The pressure one meter below the surface is the same in a pond, a lake, a swimming pool, the middle of the Pacific Ocean, or a bath-tub.
To what depth below Earth's surface do you have to go before the pressure and temperature cause rocks to melt?
At depths between 50 to 200 km below Earth's surface, temperatures and friction, along with the presence of water, could cause melting of subducting crustal material. Rising currents of mantle rock could melt from decompression at shallower depths.
The geothermal is about 25 degrees Celsius for every 1 km of depth below earths surface?
2
How does temperature change with depth below earths surface?
temperature increases with depth
What rock can melt at a depth of about below earths surface?
50km
WHAT IS EARTHS INFERRED PRESURE AT A DEPTH OF 3500 KM BELOW THE SURFACE?
1.4
Does pressure and temperature increase or decrease with depth below earths surface?
it increases
What is the relationship between the density of the earths materials and depth below the surface of the earth?
As the depth increases, the density increases also.
What depth below earths surface do you have to go before the pressure and temperature cause rocks to melt?
At depths of 50 to 200 km below Earth's surface rocks will melt.
What is a geothermal spring?
A "geothermal" spring is a "hot" spring where the water is hot at the surface, heated by hot rocks or magma at depth.
What is the thickness or the depth of the earths surface?
none of your business
Where is geothermal located?
geothermal starts at the outer edge of the earth's crust and gets hotter the deeper you go. The gradual increase in the temperature as the depth increases is called the geothermal gradient. As you proceed through the crust the gradient is gradual. When you break through the upper mantle the temps then rise almost exponentially.
How hot is the outer crust?
Check your thermometer. That's how hot it is on the outer crust where you are. There exists a geothermal gradient where temperature rises with depth from the surface. See the link below.
Is the level of the ocean's surface used as a reference point when measuring height of depth of the earths surface?
Yes it is.
