Best Answer

Force exerts pressure.

For example:

At the surface of the Earth the column of air in the atmosphere above an area has a mass that exerts a force (due to gravity) on that surface area.

Why are winds caused by differences in air pressure?

Because the more air pressure there is, it moves the winds in all directions because the air pressure goes in all different directions. That is why we are not flat right now. Think about it - "air pressure" means air is exerting pressure. If there are differences, air in one area is exerting more pressure than air someplace nearby. So the air with the greater air pressure pushes into the air that is not pressing as hard. Simplest way I can think to say it.


How do creatures bear high pressures in the oceans?

They have evolved to deal with it by exerting an equal amount of pressure outwards as the average amount of pressure that is pressing down on them from above. Humans have done the same, since we are bearing the weight of the entire atmosphere but never notice! Internally, we are exerting the same pressure outwards to balance it. Certainly this is not as much as at the bottom of the ocean, but without this mechanism we would be crushed.
