What causes the turbine of a hydro-electric dam to turn?
Water pressure.
What is the water pressure of the ocean at 500 feet?
About 240 psi at 500 feet of depth.
What is the water pressure in the hadal?
The water pressure in the hadal zone, which is the deepest part of the ocean, can reach extreme levels of over 1,000 times atmospheric pressure at the surface. This is due to the weight of the water column above.
How bubbles affect how fast does water freezes?
it affects the water because the bubbles have oxygen inside them which causes pressure
What causes vibrating in the water lines?
This is called water hammer and occurs when pipes have not been secured down properly or when the water pressure is excessively high
The deeper you go in the ocean the greater the water pressure Use logical reasoning to infer why?
This is because ocean water has weight, and believe it or not, air has weight too. The water and air pressure add up when you go farther underwater. This causes there to be higher water pressure as you go deeper because the water weight adds up.
What happens to temperature and pressure as you go deeper into the ocean?
Because the deeper you go the more water you have on top of you, every 10 meters you go under water, you have another atmosphere on top of you, the wieg that is pressed to you is what causes the pressure
Where in the ocean is water pressure the greatest?
At the bottom of the Mariana Trench (Pacific Ocean), where water pressure is about eight tons per square inch.
Why is there pressure in the ocean?
There is pressure in all water because of the weight of the water above it pressing down
What causes differences in density of ocean water?

What three obstacles make ocean exploration difficult?

What is the water pressure of the arctic ocean?
Depends on the depth.
What decreases as the ocean depth decreases?
Water pressure.
What causes water pressure surging in house after pressure regulator?
Sounds like a bad/failed water pressure regulator.
Would a rock crack from water pressure at the bottom of the ocean?
No.
What causes difference in water density?
the presence of minerals such as sodium cholride,magnesium etc causes the difference in ocean water ....
What causes water pressure tanks to become water log?
Defective bladder / low pressure inside the tank
