Why the pressure of the water is so more in the depth of the Ocean? OR Why there is so much high pressure in the Ocean water compared to small water bodies?

Water pressure is from the water weighing down on you. the deeper you are, the more water’s above you, so it weighs more in total, so pressure increases the deeper you are. the ocean is often deeper than other bodies of water, so the higher the maximum pressure is. Salt water is also slightly heavier than fresh water, so a given depth at sea will have slightly more pressure than that depth in a river or lake.
