Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -As depth increases, density increases, but temperature and pressure decrease.
Detailed explanation-2: -For every 33 feet (10.06 meters) you go down, the pressure increases by one atmosphere .
Detailed explanation-3: -It is due to the huge weight of the overlying materials like rocks. It is estimated that in the deeper portions, the pressure is tremendously high which will be nearly 3 to 4 million times more than the pressure of the atmosphere at sea level.
