Answer:

It is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the depth of water increases, the pressure also increases.

According to the formula


P = h * d * g

Where, h is the depth of water, d is the density of water and g be the acceleration due to gravity

As h increases, pressure also increases.

As depth increases, the temperature of the water also increases, because of geothermic energy of earth.

So, as depth increases, pressure and temperature both increases.
