Water is effectively an incompressible substance, so pressure does not affect its' volume. However, its boiling and freezing points are directly related to the external pressure. Water boils when its vapor pressure is equal to the external pressure (or the atmospheric pressure if it is contained in some uncovered pot). Greater external pressure requires higher temperature for water so as to have that value of vapor pressure for it to boil. This is how pressure affects water.

swimming pool, is produced by the weight of the water AND the
air pressure on top of it.
The pressure on the top surface of the water is 1 atmosphere,
and the pressure 33 feet deep is 2atmospheres ... one from the
atmospheric pressure on the surface, and another one from the
weight of the water.

Does deep sea have high air pressure or high water pressure?
High water pressure.
Why is atmospheric pressure and water pressure different?
The big reason is because air is air, and water is water. The second reason is because air is compressible, while water cannot be compressed. What that means is that if you compress air to twice the pressure, it will be one-half the volume. If you compress water to be twice the pressure, the volume won't change.

Why is the air pressure on top of Mount McKinley less than the air pressure at sea level?
Because air pressure (and water pressure) decrease the farther you get from the earth's center of gravity.
What are the factors affect air pressure?
Three factors that affect air pressure are temperature, altitude, and water vapor.
Why does water have to do with air pressure?
In a well system, water is propelled by air pressure.
Why is water pressure stronger than air pressure?
Think of it this way, if you had a plastic bottle filled with water and you poked a hole in the side, would water squirt out or would air squirt in? If air squirted in, then the air pressure would have to be higher. But since we know that the water would squirt out, we know that the water's pressure must be stronger. Of course, this is under normal conditions. If you pumped the air pressure up enough, then the air pressure may become stronger than standard water pressure. So actually, water pressure is generally stronger than air pressure.

Air pressure becomes lowet as water molecules are addrd to the air because water molecules?
Air pressure becomes lower as water molecules are added to the air because water molecules have less weight.
How does air pressure changes altitude increases?
It decreases. Air pressure is simply the pressure of all the other air on top of it. As you increase in elevation, there is less air on top of you. Therefore, the air pressure is less. As your altitude decreases, there is more air on top of you, therefore, the air pressure increases. Same with water. As you descend, water pressure increases. More on top of you.
How does water get into an air pressure tank?
If you mean a well tank, the water is forced in by the pump. The residual air pressure pushes the water out to the faucets.
What is a example of air pressure?
an example of air pressure would be 45% of water vapor outside.

How the atoms react in air pressure?
'atoms' cannot 'react' to air pressure for air pressure is generated from atoms (oxygen, noble gasses, water).
Does air pressure affect water pressure?
Water Vapor affects pressure because moist air contains many heavy gases such as O2,N2 etc. But less water vapor. Since these gases are heavier than water vapor, it becomes more dense constituting more pressure. So Moist air contains less pressure than Dry Air.
What holds water in the air?
Air pressure holds water in the air. When the pressure builds up and the air gets too saturated to hold any more moisture, then precipitation will occur.
