Question

What challenges do hydrostatic pressure creates for marine scientists

Answer 1

Answer: On land we live under 1 atm (atmosphere) or pressure and sea level. This means that we have about 14.6 psi of weight from air above us. Marine organisms live under the weight of water and the atmosphere so the pressure is greater. Every 10m causes pressure to increase 1 atm. As pressure increases, gases compress/shrink. This creates problems for organisms that have air bladders, floats and lungs. This also limits the ocean depth range for many organisms, including humans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The oceans are present on the 70 percent of the world but only 5 percent of the total oceans are explored yet.

There are many reasons of this problem but the most important is the hydrostatic pressure.

Hydrostatic pressure can be described as the pressure or weight exerted by the water on the object.

With every increase in 10 meters the pressure increase by 6.47kg (14.27lbs) each square inch of surface.

Due to extreme pressure, oxygen level in the cells of body fluctuates and person becomes unstable and can become unconscious.
