Question

How do conditions change as the depth of the ocean water increases

A) Temperature increases and pressure increases

B) Temperature decreases and pressure increases

C) Temperature increases and pressure decreases

D) Temperature decreases and pressure decreases

Answer 1

Answer: option b

Explanation: As we move down in the ocean water, the temperature of the water decreases as the water does not receives the sunlight in depth. The sunlight reaches upto a certain depth besides that the water is cool.

The pressure increases as we move down and this is the reason the marine animals that are found in depth are flattened.

So, the pressure increases and the temperature decreases in the depth of ocean.
