As depth increases, pressure ____
A
stays the same
B
increases
C
decreases
D
is stable
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure, the force per unit area exerted by a liquid on an object. The deeper you go under the sea, the greater the pressure of the water pushing down on you. For every 33 feet (10.06 meters) you go down, the pressure increases by one atmosphere .

Detailed explanation-2: -As the depth increased the mass of the earth decreases. At the surface of earth this value will be maximum because radius will be maximum. When radius becomes less this value also decreases. Hence acceleration due to gravity decreases with increase in the depth.

Detailed explanation-3: -As a liquid’s depth increases, liquid pressure decreases. Pressure at a point in a fluid is the height or depth of the object from the surface, the height or depth of the object from the surface, 3.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pressure and depth have a directly proportional relationship. This is due to the greater column of water that pushes down on an object submersed. Conversely, as objects are lifted, and the depth decreases, pressure is reduced.

Detailed explanation-5: -As you go deeper into a body of water, there is more water above, and therefore a greater weight pushing down. This is the reason water pressure increases with depth. The pressure depends only upon the depth, and is the same anywhere at a given depth and in every direction.
