if you’ve ever dived to the bottom of a swimming pool at 3m depth, you’ll feel the weight of all the water above you squeezing you. if you’re wearing a wrist watch, you can look at the band and see it go loose when you’re just 3m under water. now imagine, at 300m or 10x the depth what the pressure is. same thing would happen if you were buried by dirt or sand, but water is a bit less dense than sand of course.
