Sublimation occurs more readily when definite weather circumstances are present such as low relative humidity and dry winds. Sublimation also occurs more at higher altitudes where the air pressure is less than at lower altitudes and energy such as strong sunlight is also needed. Sublimation happens a lot in the south face of Mt. Everest which have low temperatures, strong winds, intense sunlight, very low air pressure and the recipe for sublimation to occur.
To determine a planet's mass, astronomers typically measure the minuscule movement of the star caused by the gravitational tug of an orbiting planet. For planets the massof Earth detecting such a tiny tug is extraordinarily challenging with current technology
First, we convert the depth of the water into meters. This is:
60 feet = 18.3 meters
Now, we compute the additional pressure exerted due to the water, which is given by:
Pressure = density * gravitational field strength * height
P = 1000 * 9.81 * 18.3
P = 179.5 kPa
The atmosphere pressure is 101.325 kPa
The pressure of the gas bubbles 60 feet under water will be:
179.5 + 101.325 = 280.825 kPa
The pressure at the surface of the water will be equal to the atmospheric pressure, 101.325 kPa.
Because of this decrease in external pressure as gas bubbles rise, they are seen to expand.
