Simple idea: All objects are made of atoms and/or molecules.
The molecules in a liquid move at random directions. some of them move vertically, and some horizontally. Most of them, however, move in a combination of the two.
To make the answer more simple, the horizontal components of the motion of the molecules collide with a lateral direction with the object (submarine, diver, container wall, etc). The collision between the molecule and the object exerts a lateral force, which acts on an area. Hence lateral pressure is applied.

What is exerted when an object is submerged in a fluid and the fluid pushes in on the object?
We say the liquid exerts pressure on the object.
Relationship between liquid pressure and density?
If you were submerged in a liquid more dense than water, the pressure would be correspondingly greater. The pressure due to a liquid is precisely equal to the product of weight density and depth. liquid pressure = weight density x depth. also the pressure a liquid exerts against the sides and bottom of a container depends on the density and the depth of the liquid.
How does buoyancy relate to balloons?
The principle of buoyancy relates to the upward pressure that a liquid or gas substance exerts on objects surrounding it. When balloons are filled with gas that exerts less downward force (due to mass and gravity), they will float.
Describe the reason a fluid exerts pressure on an object immersed in the fluid?
The pressure that a fluid exerts depends on the density and the depth of the fluid.
When air exerts a force it is called?
-- Pressure -- Wind
What does Lateral soil mean?
Lateral soil refers to the soil pressure exerted on retaining structures such as walls or sheet piles from the side. It is caused by the weight of the soil and any additional loads acting perpendicular to the face of the structure. Proper consideration of lateral soil pressure is important in the design and construction of retaining walls to ensure stability and prevent failure.
Under what circumstances a fluid exerts equal pressure in all direction?
Any liquid exerts equal pressure in all directions.
What is exerted when an object is submerged in a fluid and the fluid pushes in on the object?
We say the liquid exerts pressure on the object.
Why does a liquid flow at longer distance when a hole is made at the centre of the container?
because liquid exerts more pressure more at the bottom tan at the top

What is exerting pressure?
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.
What is the action of the vastus lateralis?
extends knee joint exerts lateral pul on patella
How does buoyancy relate to balloons?
The principle of buoyancy relates to the upward pressure that a liquid or gas substance exerts on objects surrounding it. When balloons are filled with gas that exerts less downward force (due to mass and gravity), they will float.
What is lateral compression?
Lateral compression refers to a type of force that exerts pressure on an object from the sides, making it shorter or wider but not significantly affecting its length. This force can lead to deformation or buckling of the object if it exceeds its structural limits. Lateral compression is often encountered in structural engineering and geology.
Describe the reason a fluid exerts pressure on an object immersed in the fluid?
The pressure that a fluid exerts depends on the density and the depth of the fluid.
When air exerts a force it is called?
-- Pressure -- Wind
How do you know that air exerts pressure?
Because the pressure can be measured with a barometer.
