2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Because total pressure of salt water at eg: 70m and the density of water is 1050 if u do the calculation which is 1050*70*10 = 735000 pa
    and if u do it for fresh water with a density of 1000kg/m3 it would be 1000*70*10 = 700000 pa so thats why or you could say because salt water is denser

      Because regular water (H20) bonds with salt, meaning the salt adds weight, and the size stays the same.
