Depth ↔ Geostatic & Hydrostatic Pressure

Calculate overburden rock lithostatic pressure and fluid hydrostatic pressure at underground or deep ocean depths.

Lithostatic pressure: Rock weight compresses down, raising pressures about 2.7x faster than water columns.
2.7 g/cm³
Sedimentary rock runs ~2.3, granitic upper crust runs ~2.7, basaltic oceans lower crust runs ~3.0.

Pressure Insight

At 1000m deep, rock density of 2.7 g/cm³ exerts lithostatic overburden pressure. Fluid trapped in rock fractures at this depth would sustain hydrostatic pressure of 9.8 MPa.
