Variation of Pressure with Depth. One might guess that the deeper you go into a liquid or gas, the greater the pressure on you from the surrounding fluid will be. The reason for the increased pressure is that the deeper into a fluid you go, the more fluid, and thus the more weight, you have over top of you.

Water pressure is the result of the weight of all the water above pushing down on the water below. As you go deeper into a body of water, there is more water above, and therefore a greater weight pushing down. This is the reason water pressure increases with depth.
