Think of it a different way.
Fill up a bucket with water. This is approx 30 cm deep and holds approx 10 liters of water.
Easy enough to carry.
Now fill up another bucket.
You now have Two buckets with approx 30 cm of water and approx 10 liters in each.
Now for the experiment of the pressure the water yields.
A scale can only hold one bucket at a time. With two scales we can weigh both buckets at the same time. Both scales show approx 10 Kilo.
Now place one bucket on top of the other bucket.
The scale now show 20 kilo.
We have exactly the same effect in the water when we dive. The deeper we go, the more does the water above us weigh. The more weight, the higher is the pressure.
1 meter below surface, a square of one time one meter will experience the pressure of 1 ton, the weight of one cubic meter of water above it.
At two meters, this pressure is 2 tons simply because there is 2 cubic meters of water above it. 2 cubic meters of water weigh in at 2 tons. Salt water weigh a little bit more.
ScubaDivers experience this pressure in the way that the air they breathe at surface will get compressed, and at a certain depth, there is not enough volume in their lungs, and they will begin to sink down instead of floating up.
Likewise, the tiny airbubbles in their suits will get compressed and they gain less insulation from the rapidly increasingly colder water at greater depths.
What else can I help you with?
How does water pressure change as you go deeper?
Water pressure increases as you go deeper.
What increases as you go deeper in the water?
the pressure increases
What do water pressure increases as?
Water pressure increases with depth, as you go deeper there is more water above weighing down on you.
How does water pressure increases?
the deeper you go , the more water is on your head
Why is the earth denser as you go deeper under ground?
Because the pressure increases with depth. The same as if you go underwater, the weight of water above you increases as you go deeper, exerting a greater pressure on your body. This greater pressure decreases the unit volume of the matter, so the density increases.
How does pressure change as you go from the surface toward the center if earth?
The pressure increases as you go deeper. The deeper you go the greater the pressure
How does pressure change as you go from the surface toward the center if the earth?
The pressure increases as you go deeper. The deeper you go the greater the pressure
Why is water pressure higher in deeper water?
Water pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the water above pushing down. This is known as hydrostatic pressure. The deeper you go, the more water there is above, resulting in higher pressure.
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.
What happens to water pressure as you go deeper into the ocean?
the pressure in the water increases, this is why you equalize, just like going up in an aeroplane!
What does pressure do as you go deeper in water?
As you go deeper in water, the pressure increases due to the weight of the water above pressing down on you. This increase in pressure can compress air spaces in your body, such as your lungs and ears. It is important to equalize the pressure to avoid discomfort or injury, especially when scuba diving or free diving to great depths.
As depth increases water pressure increases?
Yes the deeper you go the higher the pressure, it's because the weight of more things, like land, water, buildings, cars , people are combined. Where as you were in the streets you have atmospheric weight on you.
