why does pressure increase as you dig deeper explain in detail​

Answers 2

Answer:

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.

Answer:

Pressure increases as we dig deeper because of more force.

Explanation:

  • Pressure is defined as the force applied per unit area.
  • As we dig deeper into the surface of the earth, the force of different layers from all directions increases.
  • That is, as we go deeper, there is a greater push on us.
  • So, the force acting on us is more. Therefore, the pressure also increases.
  • The pressure depends upon the depth and remains the same at a particular depth in all directions.

Therefore, due to increased force, the pressure increases as we dig deeper.
