Liquid pressure
Explanation:
The pressure exerted by a liquid is small just under the surface of the liquid. But as we go we deeper in a liquid the pressure of liquid increases.As the depth of liquid increases the weight of liquid column pushing down from above increases and hence the pressure also increases.
Liquid pressure is the increase in pressure at increasing depths in a liquid. This pressure increases because the liquid at lower depths has to support all of the water above it.
Please refer to the attached picture for a diagram demonstrating liquid pressure.
