When you increase your depth under water, the water pressure on your body

• increases

• decreases

• stays the same

What is pressure?

• The amount of force exerted on a surface

• The surface area of an object

• The weight of an object

An object will float on water if it is

• less dense than water.

• more dense than water.

• the same density as water.
