Question

How do submarines know the depth of a sea?

✓

Answer

One way is with a depth gauge. The gauge basically measure differential pressure between pressure inside the boat (kept at atmospheric pressure) and sea pressure outside). Knowing how fast pressure rises as depth increases allows the gauge indication to be calibrated to read out in feet of depth.
