Because liquids are basically just a collection of particles with barely enough energy to separate them, they are very closely packed and any pressure applied must be very high to force them closer. As you apply a force to them, they cannot easily compress, so they pass the force on.
(This is the principal of hydraulic pressure.)

What is the relationship between liquid pressure and the depth of a liquid between liquid pressure and density?
pressure of liquid on bottom=density*gravitational force*depth :)
Is the compressed liquid has the same meaning to saturated liquid?
No - compressed liquid is at a pressure above the boiling point pressure of the liquid. A saturated liquid is right at that boiling point. If you try to drop the pressure on a saturated liquid, it will begin to boil. If you start dropping the pressue on a compressed liquid, it will remail a stable liquid unit you have dropped it to the saturation pressure.
What can a boil be defined as?
Boiling, a type of phase transition, is the rapid vaporization of a liquid, which typically occurs when a liquid is heated to its boiling point, the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid is equal to the pressure exerted on the liquid by the surrounding environmental pressure.
What do pressure cookers do to the boiling point of water?
Pressure Cookers raise the boiling point of water. As pressure increases on a liquid, so does the boiling point. This is due to the fact that a liquid will not boil until the vapor pressure of the liquid is equals the environmental pressure surrounding the liquid. Think of it essentially as the surrounding pressure holds the substance in liquid form until it has enough energy to escape into gas form.
Is a gas's solubility faster in a high pressure liquid?
If the pressure of the gas increase, the solubility in a liquid increase.
Why can forces be transferred in a liquid?
In a liquid, forces are basically transferred as pressure.
What occurs when heat is transferred through liquid?
convection
Heat can be transferred through a liquid by a process called?
Convection
What to check in pipes before erecting it?
the pressure of the liquid that flow through it
What is the movement of molecules through a membrane due to the pressure of a liquid on that membrane?
Osmosis.
How do differences in air pressure cause a liquid to flow through the straw and into your mouth?
The pressure inside your mouth is less than the atmosperehic pressure above the glass. The water is pushed through the straw by this difference in pressure.
How does air pressure help drinking through a straw?
when you drink through a straw you remove some of the air in the straw. Because there is less air pressure of the straw is reduced. But the atmospheric pressure on the surface of the liquid.
How can energy be transferred through the atmosphere?
Energy is transferred through the atmosphere by radiation.
How energy transferred through matter?
energy is transferred through matter or space by
What is the relationship between liquid pressure and the depth of a liquid between liquid pressure and density?
pressure of liquid on bottom=density*gravitational force*depth :)
What role does atmospheric pressure play when someone is drinking a liquid through a straw?
when you drink through a straw you remove some of the air in the straw. because there is less air the pressure of the straw is reduced. but the atmospheric pressure on the surface of the liquid remains the same. henceforth how it helps you drink
The resultant upthrust on a body partly immersed in liquid acts through?
the metacentre
