Think of it this way, if you had a plastic bottle filled with water and you poked a hole in the side, would water squirt out or would air squirt in? If air squirted in, then the air pressure would have to be higher. But since we know that the water would squirt out, we know that the water's pressure must be stronger. Of course, this is under normal conditions. If you pumped the air pressure up enough, then the air pressure may become stronger than standard water pressure. So actually, water pressure is generally stronger than air pressure.

What is the tornado air pressure?
The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that of its surrounding but the pressure difference varies with the strength of the tornado. The greater the pressure difference, the stronger the tornado. The greatest pressure drop recorded from a tornado was 100 millibars or about 10%.
What will a hydrate do if its vapor pressure is higher than the vapor pressure of the water vapor in the air?
Lose Effloresce
How low does the air pressure have to be to create a tornado?
There is no definite air pressure for a tornado, but tit is believed that the pressure deficit (i.e. how much less pressure is in the tornado than in the surroundings) in a weak tornado is at least 10 millibars, with greater pressure deficits being found in stronger tornadoes.
Wells from which pressurized water flows to the surface are called?
Artesian Wells. Water can be brought to the surface, natural air pressure, providing it is no deeper than 34 feet. (Air pressure allows for this). Water any deeper than 34 feet, requires a pressure system to bring it to the surface.
Is high pressure moister than low pressure?
High pressure is associated with cool, dense air--which can hold LESS wator vapor than warm air. Low pressure would be "moister" than high pressure--meaning it would carry a higher percentage of water vapor or have a higher relative humidity.
Why do paumotan divers lungs contract when they freedive for pearls?
The pressure under water is stronger than the pressure in air so the paumotan diver's lungs contract when they dive.
Why does water exert more pressure than air?
Water is more dense than air is.
Air weighs less than water would you expect the pressure exerted by water to be greater or less than the pressure exerted by the same amount of air?
water is more dense than air and it has at
Why are some winds more stronger than other winds?
Because of the air pressure
Why water temiture expaneds air?
Type your answer here... because water is stronger than air thanks for reading haley
Why volume of water exerts greater pressure than volume of air?
DENSER MORE PRESSURE PRESSURE PRESSURE LOOK AT SCIENCE TEXT BOOK DONT CHEAT ON WIKI Water has more density than air.
Why air pressure is lower than water pressure?
Water Pressure is higher because of it's molecular weight as compared to air.
Does air pressure affect water pressure?
Water Vapor affects pressure because moist air contains many heavy gases such as O2,N2 etc. But less water vapor. Since these gases are heavier than water vapor, it becomes more dense constituting more pressure. So Moist air contains less pressure than Dry Air.
Why Poes water on top of a mountain boil at a lower temperature than at sea level?
It is the effect of air pressure. The air pressure at the top of a mountain is less than the air pressure at sea level. The effect of air pressure on a water surface is to prevent or oppose water molecules escaping from the surface. The greater the air pressure, the more heat energy is needed to allow the water molecules to escape and so at sea level the water will boil at a higher temperature than if it were on top of a mountain.
What is the tornado air pressure?

Would you expect the the pressure exerted by water to be greater or less than the pressure exerted by the same amount of air?
water is more dense than air and it has atmospheric pressure also pushing down on it to make it have greater pressure than air.
