Is the pressure at a depth of two feet in a large lake greater than the pressure at the same depth in a swimming pool?

No. The pressure depends on the depth, and on the density of the liquid, which is presumably more or less the same in this case.

Will the speed of a wind be greater if the difference in air pressure is large or small?
no it will not be greater are greater it does not matter
How does the water pressure 1m below the surface of the small pond compare with the water pressure 1m below the surface of a huge lake?
The pressure at the same depth in any container doesn't depend on the size of the container. The pressure one meter below the surface is the same in a pond, a lake, a swimming pool, the middle of the Pacific Ocean, or a bath-tub.
Where is greater pressure at the bottom of a large basin of water 20cm deep or a pitcher of water 30cm deep?
The deeper water in the pitcher, of course. The pressure doesn't depend on the lateral size of the body of water, only the depth. Otherwise, you woudn't be able to dip a toe in the ocean!
Why dams are made wider at the bottom?
Dams must hold back water of a certain depth, determined by the height of the dam. The pressure exerted by this water on the dam is dependent in part by its depth, since the base of the dam must be able to hold pressures exerted by the weight of all the water above the base. Since the pressure is greater at the base, the dam is broader at the base.
How is pressure related to the area over which force acts?
The area over which a force acts, is proportional to the pressure. When the area is large then, the pressure acted on it is also large, so the force is greater.
What causes the speed of a tornado?
Most winds on earth are produced by pressure differences. The greater the pressure change over a given distance, the greater the wind speed. Tornadoes produce a large pressure drop over a very short distance, resulting in extremely high winds.
What sports have a large lung capacity?
swimming and track running both require a large lung capacity as does singing
What causes the strong winds associated with a tornado?
Intense low pressure at the tornado's center produces the wind. Most winds on earth are produce by pressure differences. The greater the difference over a given area, the greater the wind speed. Tornadoes produce a very large pressure drop over a short distance due to a steep pressure gradient.
Why is air pressure greater at sea level then it is one mile up in the air?
There is less air higher in the sky so the pressure is less. At sea level, all the air above a certain space exerts pressure. There's also more air, so the pressure is greater. Like any material, air becomes heavy in large enough quantities.
According to if it were not for pulmonary surfactants you should expect the surface tension in a small alveolus to produce greater pressure than in a large one and air would flow from small to large?
LaPlace's law
Why do bulldozers have tracks instead of wheels?
so that the pressure exerted will be over a large area, giving the bulldozer powerr to travel through hardmaterial. The greater the area over which the force (weight)acts, the less the pressure
What is the relationship between area and pressure of a constant force?
The area over which a force acts, is proportional to the pressure. When the area is large then, the pressure acted on it is also large, so the force is greater.
