Question

Why are dams made heavy at the bottom? Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz answer... VERY URGENT..,

Answer 1

Hey mate here's your answer......

Dams are made heavy at bottom to handle the flow of water as it's pressure is very high.

Hope it helps ☺️☺️☺️☺️

Answer 2

The thickness of a dam's wall increases from top towards the bottom because the pressure exerted by a liquid increases with its depth. Thus as depth increases more and more pressure is exerted by water on the wall of dam. A thicker wall is required to with stand a greater pressure ,therefore, the wall of the dam is made with thickness increasing towards the base.
