Because liquids can't be compressed. Whatever movement you put in at one end you get back at the other.
Gasses can be compressed, like a spring, which is kinda awkward if you want to build something that can be closely controlled.

Why are liquids used in hydraulics instead of gasses?
liquids are easier to move.
Why cant cars be made of liquids and gases?
Liquids and gases have no fixed shape and no structural strength; they cannot support anything by themselves. Gas, however, does have some applicability in transportation, since it can be used to inflate balloons or zeppelins with which you can travel by air. But this only works because of the balloon envelope, which is made of a solid material that contains the gas.
What is used to keep liquids warm and cold?
a insalator keeps liquids warm
What tool used for measuring precise volumes of liquids?
A graduated cylinder is used measuring precise volume of liquids.A graduated cylinder is used measuring precise volume of liquids.
What instrument is used for measuring liquids?
Measuring cylinder
Why is filtration used?
Filtration is used for the separation of solids from liquids or gases.
Why are liquids used in hydraulics instead of gasses?

Are both gases and liquids fluids?
yes, gases and liquids are fluids. this term is usually used when referring to resistance since frictio occurs in solids.
What are the three qualifications used to describe matter?
solids liquids and gases
What mixture that can not be separated by filtering?
Filtering is used to separe solids from gases or liquids.
What can be used to weigh solids liquids or gases?
you can use a scale for weight, a beaker or measuring cup for liquid, and for gases idk
Why are liquids used in hydraulic brakes instead of grease?
You could use grease, but then you'd need a lot more force just to push the grease through the system. A runnier liquid is easier to move around.
Are liquids and gases not materials?
Solids, liquids, and gases are all forms of materials. Only solids are used as building materials (although even then, one could argue, cement is poured in liquid form before it solidifies).
What is beakers?
Beakers hold solids or liquids that will not release gases when reacted or are unlikely to splatter if stirred or heated.
Can inert gases be stored with oxidizing gases?
An inert gas is one that won't react with other gases. You can store inert gases with any other gases - oxygen (an oxidizing gas) and argon (an inert gas) are commonly stored together in industrial settings.
What is the uses of pipettes?
Pipettes are used for measuring and transferring small amounts of liquids in an experiment.
What are rubber stoppers use for?
Commonly, rubber stoppers are used in scientific experiments to plug and test tubes. Their purpose is to prevent liquids, and sometimes gases, from escaping their containers.
