times
A balloon fully inflated and sealed at 10 meters/33 feet, would probably ________ during ascent to the
surface. - Ans-expand/burst
As I descend, increasing pressure affects my _________ - Ans-mask, ears, sinuses

ears?
a. Block my nose and attempt to gently blow through it.
b. Swallow and wiggle the jaw from side to side
c. Block my nose and blow forcefully for an extended period - Ans-Block my nose and attempt to gently
blow through it + swallow and wiggle the jaw from side to side
