Why does pressure in a liquid increase with depth?
A
More liquid column above → greater weight per area → P = ρgh increases with depth
B
Pressure decreases with depth because liquid spreads out
C
Only gases have increasing pressure with depth
D
Pressure depends only on the density of the liquid, not depth
