13、ting these.The sea can be very cold.Divers,who go deep down in the sea,know this.On the top the water may be warm.When the diver goes downwards,the sea becomes colder and colder.Another thing happens.When the diver goes deeper,the water above presses down on him.It squeezes(挤压) him.Then the diver ha
