Both have the oxygen molecule thus giving them both relatively similar properties. For instance you, you will find the wake in water caused by a large ocean liner will resemble roughly the same shape and dissipation as the wake turbulance caused by a large heavy jet. -

∙ 9y agoThe major difference in air pressure and water pressure is the weight. Water is a lot heavier than air. One cubic foot of air weighs 1/12 of a pound. One cubic foot of water weights approximately 64 pounds.

Which has more volume a balloon filled with water or air?
The volum is similar, the mass is different.
Why does pumice float while a rock of similar size will sink in the same tank of water?
the rock pumice has air pockets making it less dense than water, while a rock that has a similar size has no air pockets making it more dense than water and therefore sinking.
What is more buoyant air filled balloon or Styrofoam?
Under water they are as buoyant as each other but on land the balloon will float away and the Styrofoam will stay.
How does thermal energy from a radiator reach the other side of the room?
Hot air from a radiator reaches the other side of a room by convection current. Convection current is when hot water/ air rises, hot water/ air cools, cool water/ air sinks, cool water/ air warms and then the cycle starts over.
Are protozoa motile?
air, water, and other organisms
What are the importances of dissolved air in water?
Although fish and other sea life live in water, they still need oxygen from air to function. They use gills (other something similar) to extract air from the water for respiration. If their was no air dissolved in the water, they would suffocate.
Where did the astronauts on the moon obtain air and water?
Where do astronauts obtain water and air on the moon? They have to carry this with them as part of their life support. Water and oxygen can be processed from each other or other sources.
An experiment to show that ice melt faster in water that air?
get 2 icecubes that are similar sizes and put one in room temperature water and the other exposed to air.
Why water form drops?
because the water spreads out and the air pushes them to each other and forms drops.
What is the process in which water molecules move away from each other to become whater vapor?
Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air.
Why it is easier to compress air as compare to water?
Air and other gases have spaces between the molecules, which are constantly flying around and colliding with each other and bouncing apart. In liquids, the molecules are close together, touching each other. This is why gases are compressable and liquids are not.
Why does sound travel more slowly through air than through a solid?
Air molecules are much, much farther away from each other in air than they are in water.
How is air pressure and air density similar?
they don't typically have anything to do with each other. but the hotter the air temperature the more the molecules in the air move causing it to press harder on the surfaces around it making hotter air have a lower air pressure but it is opposite with colder air. =D
How are currents that form in heated air similar to currents that form in heated water?
Currents that form in heated air are similar to currents that form in warm water because heated air goes up and cold air goes down creating convection currents.
Why can't hurricanes form over cold water?
Huricanes form because hot and cold air particles chase each other in a circle. So there needs to be warm water and cold air.
What are three agents that can cause abrasion?
water, air, and gravity (rocks scrape against each other by the cause of gravity.)
How are air masses that over land similar from air masses that form over water?
they are over land
