when and how do we get collapsed from a high atmospheric pressure .how does the body collapse !!!

Dear student
Please find the solution to the asked query:

It is true that atmospheric pressure in an area is heavy and thus possible of crushing things . But there is air inside or under the things which exerts equal and opposite pressure to the atmospheric pressure. For example atmospheric pressure exerts pressure over us, but we don't get crushed due to the presence of fluids in our body which exerts equal and opposite pressure to the atmospheric pressure and thus both cancel out.

Hope this information will clear your doubts regarding the topic. If you have any other doubts please ask here on the forum and our experts will try to solve them as soon as possible.

Our body can never get collapsed as the blood pressure will always be higher than atmospheric pressure. There is no chance for the blood pressure to become less or the atmospheric pressure to become higher.

Because the atmosphere also pressurize the body. Diving down 100 meters will pressurize the gasses in the body and they will compress, like the air in our lungs and if the lung volume get below half a litre the lungs can get partly filled with blood plasma. But sorry no bone crushing. But if you take a big breath and hold it while you ascend from 100 meters to the surface, your ribs may start to break
