Question

What would happen to a plastic pop bottle full of air if it were taken 1000 m below the surface of the ocean? What would happen to it if it were taken 10 000 m into the atmosphere? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

if it were submerged 1000 m in the ocean it would be crushed because of the differences of the air and water pressure.

If it were taken 10,000 m (higher than Mt Everest) it would explode due to the differences of external and internal air pressures.
