whenever there is something deep underwater like a submarine why does eventually the glass start breaking and why does water kinda lift things up for that matter?
In: Physics
There’s air above you right now, stretching upwards into space. That air has a weight, and you’re always being squished downwards by it. This is atmospheric pressure, but we’re used to it.
Now imagine you’re underwater. If you’re under a little bit of water, the water above you doesn’t weigh that much. The deeper you go, though, the more water is above you and the more that water weighs. If you go really deep, it weighs enough that it can squish submarines.
