Detailed explanation-1: -Pressure in a liquid is caused by the weight of the liquid, which is the force due to gravity. As the depth increases, so does the pressure because there is more weight (or force) coming from above. The pressure in a liquid at a given depth is called the hydrostatic pressure.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrostatic pressure occurs when gravity pushes stagnant-dense (static) water (hydro) against below-grade walls built partially or entirely below the water table or on a hillside. Hydrostatic pressure increases with depth and soil wetness.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hydrostatic pressure refers to the pressure that any fluid in a confined space exerts. If fluid is in a container, there will be some pressure on the wall of that container.
