Under Pressure
Everything beneath the layers of the ocean is under a great deal of pressure (the amount of force per unit area). Water, like all things on Earth, is continually pulled downward by the force of gravity. As you go deeper into the ocean there is more water above you and therefore a greater weight pushing down on you. This is the reason water pressure increases with depth. In fact, for every 10 meters traveled deeper into the ocean, there is an additional 6.47kg (14.27lbs) of pressure on each squar
