While scuba diving with some friends, Deshawn notices that the air bubbles exhaled by his friends increase in size as they get closer to the surface of the water.Why does this occur and which gas law explains it?

Answer:

As the air bubbles rise to the surface, the pressure on them decreases. This decrease in pressure allows the air to expand and each bubble increases in size. Boyle’s law explains why this occurs.
