As you dive deeper into the water, the pressure increases because of the weight of the water above you pressing down. For every 33 feet (10 meters) you descend, the pressure increases by one atmosphere. This increase in pressure can compress the air spaces in your body, such as your ears and lungs, which is why Scuba divers need to equalize as they descend to avoid discomfort or injury.

When you dive under water why does the balloon get smaller?
The increase in water pressure as you dive deeper compresses the air inside the balloon, causing it to shrink in size. The higher pressure squishes the air molecules closer together, reducing the volume the balloon occupies.
Is pressure lower at the bottom of a dam?
Density of water per unit volume ie. g/cm3 * depth of water (cm). Answer will be in g/sq cm. Density of water is approximately 1g / cm3 therefore pressure at the bottom of a dam wall with 1m of water = 0.1kg / sq cm. Note: this is only valid at the bottom of the wall, half way up the 1m of water the pressure would be 0.05kg / sq cm. At the very surface of the water, there would be no pressure. Thats why a finger in a dyke (dike) can hold back the North Sea!
What happens to the buoyant force of a submerged submarine when water is taken into its tanks and it dives?
When water is taken into the tanks of a submerged submarine, its total volume increases, displacing more water and increasing its buoyant force. This increases the upward force acting on the submarine, causing it to rise in the water or maintain a shallower depth.
Water preesur at 5000 feet deep?
At 5000 feet deep, the water pressure would be approximately 2200 pounds per square inch (psi). This pressure increases by about 14.7 psi for every 33 feet of depth due to the weight of the overlying water column. This high pressure makes it challenging for humans to dive to such depths without specialized equipment.
What are the two forces that a gannet uses to dive?
A gannet primarily uses gravity to dive into the water, accelerating downwards due to its weight. It also uses its wings to control the speed and direction of its dive, enabling it to plunge into the water with precision to catch fish.
What causes extra pressure when you dive deeper water in terms of particles?
As you dive deeper into water, the weight of the water above you increases, creating more pressure. This pressure is caused by the force of gravity acting on the water molecules above you. The deeper you go, the more particles there are pressing down on you, leading to a sensation of pressure on your body.
Why are you having ear pain when you dive under the sea?
The deeper u go the more water pressure there is pushing in on your eardrums
Why does your eardrums hurt more as you dive deeper under water?
As you dive deeper underwater, the pressure around you increases due to the weight of the water above. This increased pressure can cause discomfort or pain in your eardrums because it creates a pressure imbalance between the external water pressure and the air-filled space in your middle ear. If you don't equalize the pressure by techniques like yawning or swallowing, the eardrum can stretch, leading to pain or even injury.
When you dive under water why does the balloon get smaller?
The increase in water pressure as you dive deeper compresses the air inside the balloon, causing it to shrink in size. The higher pressure squishes the air molecules closer together, reducing the volume the balloon occupies.
In a deep dive a whale is appreciably compressed by the pressure of the surrounding water What happens to the whales density?
Its density increases.
Why scuba divers experience a higher pressure at the bottom of the sea than on the surface of the earth?
This is mainly do to the pressure that the water above the diver is putting on the diver. On the surface air is putting pressure on you but it has less weight than water and as you dive deeper the pressure increases because the amount of water above you also increases.
Why can a whale dive deeper than a submarine?
The whale is flexible. The submarine is not, and is therefore subject to crushing from the pressure.
In a deep dive a whale is appreciably compressed by the pressure of the surrounding water What happens to the whale's density?
The density increases..
Why is it dangerous for human dive deep into the ocean?
there is higher pressure the deeper you travel into the ocean. this pressure is detrimental to health. also breathing is an issue.
Can they dive deeper than another bird?
can they dive deeper than a nother bird? yes they can
Why is it that when diving in a lake the deeper the dive the cooler the water?
Its farther from the surface where the sun reflects.
Why is air pressure low on top Mount Everest?
Because the higher you go, the less amount of air is it above you, pushing down. Just like water pressure is no big deal at the Surface, but gets bigger the deeper you dive.
