Compression reduces the volume without changing the amount of content it has. Pressure is inversely affected by volume. When volume increases, pressure decreases. Likewise, when volume decreases, pressure increases.

What are the internal forces that affect pyramids?
Compression,the tiles compress together.
What forces can affect a structure?
wind, weight, compression, tension and push
Can low compression affect timing?
No. Low compression does not effect timing but timing can affect compression.
How the conditions under which rock forms affect the physical stability of rocks?
The conditions that affect physical stability are heat, temperature, compression, pressure, and the molecular structure.

What are compression pumps used for?
Compression pumps are used depending on the need for it. Compression pumps can be used in water pipes to regulate the water pressure. Compression pumps can also be used in air pipes and ducts to regulate the pressure in the air.
How does compression affect the crust?
faulting
Why do the suction pressure increase of a reciprocating compressor?
Pressure increases due to load(or heat intake from evaps).if asking about off cycle. If asking about compression cycle,its the compression of vapor into a higher pressure side of system along with heat of compression adding to temp-pressure relationship.
What is compression ratio in air compressor?
The compression ratio is simply the ratio of the absolute stage discharge pressure to the absolute stage suction pressure.
When sediments are squeezed together due to pressure what is that called?
The squeezing together of rocks by stress is called compression.
How does compressing a gas affect volume?
Compressing a gas means increasing the pressure on the gas and according to Boyle's law pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of a given amount of a gas(at constant temperature) . Therefore increasing the pressure (compression) of the gas reduces the volume of the gas.
What is the synonyms for pressure?
compression, tension, or stress
