The bricks at the bottom of a skyscraper are pushed on by the column of
bricks extending all the way to the top.

As a submarine descends to a lower depth, the water pressure on the hull
increases (as YOUR gravity force decreases, slightly, by a few hundred
feed below the surface, by the way).

I think I'd talk with seisemologists about this.

Oh, I am just "average" for my class. But, anyone can get a list of most
if not all of my papers by using http://scholar.google.com

Science, unfortunately, has become bureaucratized and in a way that is not
totally healthy: most academic study is not academic any more but geared
towards fundraising (i.e. grants), and it doesn't matter if you have a
good idea, what matters is whether it gets funded.
