Hello Friend,
As we know that, the pressure at a point inside a liquid is directly proportional to the :-
(i) height of the liquid column above that point
(ii) density of the liquid, and
(iii) the acceleration due to gravity
So, we know that the sea water contains the salts thats why it has more density than the river water. It is given in above lines that the liquid pressure increases with increase in density of the liquid. So, the pressure at a certain depth in sea water differ from that at the same depth in river water.
