What is the name of the cutaneous receptor that detects deep pressure?

The Pacinian corpuscle responds to "mechanical" pressure i.e. touch.


What happens to a rock when they are uplifted to the surface of the earth?

Pressure on them is released, which can cause pressure-release mechanical weathering. Exposure of an uplifted rock to the surface will fully expose the rock to the effects of mechanical and chemical weathering--basically a rock rot.


Mechanical Weathering?

In mechanical weathering, rocks are broken down into smaller pieces without changing their composition. Mechanical weathering is caused by freezing and thawing, release of pressure, plant growth, action of animals, and abrasion. 


What is unit of differential pressure?

Let me differentiate first between design pressure and mechanical design pressure. Design (or discharge) pressure is the pressure at the outlet of the pump, the pressure you've designed the pump to deliver. The mechanical design pressure is a value that the pump casing and downstream piping have to be able to withstand as a minimum*. I presume you mean design pressure as discharge pressure. In this case, differential pressure is the difference between the discharge pressure and the suction pressure (the pressure at the inlet of the pump**). * this is calculated taking into account that a pump would be working against a 'blocked discharge' or a closed valve in the outlet piping ** imagine a reservoir filled with liquid


Explian the four types of mechanical weathering?

ice wedging/frost wedging, pressure release, plant root growth, abrasion.

What is the Difference between pressure indicator and pressure gauge?

Pressure Indicator is any instrument that indicates pressure. Pressure Gauge is also a type of pressure Indicator. It is a mechanical device. Pressure indicators can work on mechanical deflection (in case of pressure gauge) or Piezo electric effect, change in capacitance, change in inductance etc. These are generally digital type instruments.
