Because liquids/fluids have mass, and the earth has gravity. Everything has pressure, even air, we are just always under the pressure of air so we don't notice it..

Is there fluid pressure in the skeleton?
Yes, there is fluid pressure in the skeleton. However, fluid pressure is only in the exoskeleton, not the internal skeleton.
How are fluid speed and fluid pressure related?
As the speed of a fluid increases, the pressure within the fluid decreases.
The fluid pressure 10 ft underwater is the fluid pressure 5 ft underwater?
the fluid pressure 10 ft under water is
What causes fluid pressure?
A= actually its fluid pressure and fluid pressure is any kind of fluid(gas,liquid,air,are all fluid. Fluid Pressure is any fluid that is exerted on the surface, to calculate fluid pressure divide the force by the area over which it is applied.
Describe the reason a fluid exerts pressure on an object immersed in the fluid?
The pressure that a fluid exerts depends on the density and the depth of the fluid.
What causes the pressure exeted by a fluid?
The weight of the fluid. Pressure = force / area.
What is a high spinal fluid pressure?
Normal spinal fluid pressure is 12
Which is true about the pressure of a fluid at a specific depth?
The pressure of a fluid generally increases with depth. This therefore means that at a specific depth the pressure of a fluid is constant.
How is fluid pressure distributed at a given level in fluid?
Fluid Pressure is evenly distributed at a given level in fluid. Your welcome
How is the speed of fluid related to the pressure within the fluid?
According to Bernoulli's principle, as the speed of a fluid increases, the pressure within the fluid decreases.
What is stagnation pressure?
Static pressure is the pressure exerted by fluid in all directions, when it is in rest. Stagnation pressure is the sum of static and dynamic pressure of fluid in motion. Dynamic head is given by (velocity)^2/2*g.
Why would a denser fluid exert stronger pressure on an object in the fluid than a less dense fluid would?
A denser fluid would exert stronger pressure on an object in the fluid than a less dense fluid would because of the pressure differences. A denser fluid would have a greater pressure difference, therefore greater buoyancy, and exerting stronger pressure on the object.
