Question

1. if you increased pressure on an earth material, what generally happens to its density? the density generally increases 7. explain your answer to #6.

Explanation:

When pressure is applied to an Earth - material, the particles are forced closer together. With the mass remaining constant (assuming no mass is added or removed), and the volume decreasing due to the compression from increased pressure, according to the density formula $
ho=\frac{m}{V}$ (where $
ho$ is density, $m$ is mass, and $V$ is volume), a decrease in volume while mass is constant leads to an increase in density.

Answer:

When pressure is increased on an Earth - material, the particles are compressed closer together. Since mass remains constant and volume decreases, density increases according to the density formula $
ho = \frac{m}{V}$.
