Compression is the process of pressing or squeezing something so that it becomes smaller, the reduction of the volume or mass of something by applying pressure, or the state of having been treated in this way
Compression is a way of making something big small while still retaining its value. Maps, Initials, shorthand, small models, making data into a form that minimizes the space required to store or transmit it are all forms of compression. Algebra, numbers and written languages are also forms of compression or ways of shortening the writing time for pictographs.

Is liquid compressable?
no
Can you give me some information on breast?
Breast is compressable
Is Mercury vapour compressable?
Any vapour is compressible.
Is a fluid compressable?
A fluid which is reduced in volume by an increase in pressure.
Difference between Pneumatic and hydraulic test?
There are many differences, and here are a few: Pneumatic systems use gasses which are compressable - hydraulic uses liquids that are non-compressable. Hydraulics' motion is slow and smooth - pneumatics' motion is quick. Pressure can range from 500 to 5000 psi - pneumatics operate at around 100 psi.
Is water compressed?
No, all types of liquids are incompressible.
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.
In which state or states is matter compressable?
You can compress matter in any state because matter is mostly empty space. However, because it takes so much pressure to compress liquids and solids, they are said to be incompressible. ................. The gaseous state of matter is readily compressible.
Why is your compressor icy?
Probably the system is overcharged - too much refrigerant. Liquid refrigerant is boiling off as it enters the compressor inlet making it very cold. This can harm the compressor since liquid refrigerant is not compressable. It can also happen if the evaporator coil is blocked or plugged up with debris (on the air side).
What altatude does the air get thiner?
Because air is in gas form, it is compressable. This means that due to the effect of the Earth's gravity, the air at sea level is a lot more dense, because all the air above it is being pushed down and compressing the air below it. Because the Earth's gravity is uniform, it is safe to say that the air does not get thinner at any certain altitude, instead it gradually gets less and less dense as the altitude increases.
Why am I blowing oil filter seals on my 87 3.8 buick I noticed I was running about 80 lbs pressure wcih seams hi What does an oil pressure switch do?
Are you using the right amount of oil? Check your repair manual. because the oil pump is a gear pump it can easily create too much pressure since oil is non compressable and rotary pimps are positive placement. Also your oil switch indicates low pressure. That oil light you see when you first turn your key is activated by the oil switch and should turn back off after a few seconds. If that light stays on and your blowing seals then you should call an excersist.
What is a expansion tank?
Closed-loop piping systems are used extensively to circulate heated or cooled water (or other liquid) to provide heating and cooling for buildings. The problem is that the liquid filling the pipe is not compressable. When the temperature increases, the liquid expands, and can burst pipes and coils, wreck pump seals, and generally wreak havoc. The solution is to plumb a tank filled with air into the system. Sometimes there is a rubber bladder separating the water from the air, sometimes not. Either way, when the water expands, it flows into the tank, compressing the air instead of wrecking something. It gets it's name from the fact that the expansion of the liquid is caused by heat, thus thermalexpansion tank.
