How the weather effects the environment

The deeper you go, the more intense the pressure. At the surface, there is one atmosphere of pressure - and for every ten meters you go under water, the pressure increases by one atmosphere. When we were down in Karl’s sub at 2000 feet, the pressure was 66 times the pressure at the surface - that means that the pressure on the sub is 905 Pounds/Square Inch. Humans would be crushed at this depth (imagine what it would feel like to put a a bucket of water on your head - now picture the pressure of thousands of bucket of water pressing down on you). One way some animals have adapted to this pressure is that they have no air spaces.
