At shallow depth $h$, the pressure in the ocean is simply given by $P = P_0 + \rho gh$, in which $\rho$ is the density of water and $P_0$ is the air pressure. As we go deeper, the high pressure causes the water to compress and become denser. Which of the following sketches illustrates the correct dependence of the pressure on the depth $h$ ?
