Why do walls of dams are made stronger and thicker at the bottom?

Pressure= Force /Area
so .... dams are made broad at the base so as to increase the area of base and as a result decrease the pressure over there so as to support the structure quite easily
the pressure at the bottom is greater because of pressure of water... so as to decrease the pressure at the bottom... area of the base of dams are thicker at the bottom.
pressure is inversely proportional to area....
hope it helps you....

Answer:
Explanation:
Pressure is in inverse relation with area,that is,more the area,less is the pressure.So,dams are broader at bottom.It is stronger so that it can withstand the maximum force applied by water.Hope you understood
