in some sense yep , coz gas molecules are always moving around on the other hand solid moleculs are the opposite

Under what circumstances a fluid exerts equal pressure in all direction?
Any liquid exerts equal pressure in all directions.
Does point in the atmosphere exerts pressure equally in all directions?
downwards
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.
Dry air exerts less pressure than air that has What?
devin in it
How do you know air exerts pressure in all directions?
If you've ever blown a bubble, blown up a balloon, or aired up a tire, it's pretty easy to see, that air is in fact, exerting pressure in all directions.Additional answerIf air (or any liquid or gas) didn't exert pressure in all directions, the bit where it did not exert so much pressure would be pushed against by the air next to it and it would shrink, which would cause its pressure to rise to match that of the bit that was pushing against it - if you follow that!. So an equilibrium would be established. There's no way, if you think about it, how air could not press in all directions without the system being unstable and correcting itself.
What matter exerts pressure in all directions?
A gas.
Under what circumstances a fluid exerts equal pressure in all direction?
Any liquid exerts equal pressure in all directions.
Does point in the atmosphere exerts pressure equally in all directions?
downwards
What is the average amount of motion of each particle of substance?
average kinetic energy means the pressure that it exerts on the walls of the container if it is contained in it .
Is the movement of plate uniform or uneven along its boundary?
UnevenEach plate has several boundaries and exerts pressure in all directions, and the movement is rarely close to uniform.
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.
Which direction does air pressure push in?
All directions, just like water when you are diving. That is why chocolate-covered cream cakes (and a lot of other stuff) stay together at atmospheric air pressures, but will explode in vacuum, or why water will boil at lower temperatures on high mountains.
Is the movement of a plate uniform or uneven along its boundary?
UnevenEach plate has several boundaries and exerts pressure in all directions, and the movement is rarely close to uniform.
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.
Air exerts pressure because it has?
weight
