The deeper you go, the more water above you is pressing down on you. Does this increase water density the deeper you go?
minus-squareYotta@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up14·1 year agoYes, but only slightly because water is highly incompressible. To take the example form wikipedia: Even at a depth of 4 km, the volume of water only decreases by 1.8%.
