Pressure and density are directly proportional (all other factors constant) for a gas. If we compress a gas, it gets more dense. The answer is submitted based on considerations regarding gases. Compressing a solid or a liquid doesn't get us too much. Liquids are largely incompressible, and solids pretty much aren't. Don't make this question hard by slicing and dicing it (i.e., don't offer that a stack of papers is compressible because we all know that it is). The thinking that a solid isn't compressible is based on a block of steel. We're talking basic physics here. Keep it simple.

How does the density of water affect its boiling point?
The boiling point (of any compound) is ONLY affected by (vapor) pressure. Density of a gas (vapor) is another property that -in another way- may be affected by pressure.
Why is pressure and density important when giving the density of oxygen and nitrogen?
why is the temperature and the pressure important when giving the density of oxygen and nitrogen
Is an anticyclone high pressure?
yes, anticyclones are high density and high pressure and cyclones are low density and low pressure
What effect does an increase in pressure have on the density of a material?
When pressure increases the volume of the material decreases. Density=mass/volume When volume decreases density increases.(Mass constant)
Does high pressure have high density?
If you are referring to a high pressure gas, then yes. The higher the pressure, the higher the density of the gas because the molecules pack closer together. The density of liquids can also be affected by pressure but to much less of an extent. For most purposes, liquids such as water are considered incompressible.
How does altitude affect density and air pressure?
Altitude has a large affect on the air pressure and air density. Air density reduces with altitude and air pressure reduces with altitude as well.
How does altitude affect the density and pressure of air?
Altitude affects density and pressure by decreasing when it increases.
How does the density of the air affect pressure?
Pressure affects the density of air by increase of pressure increases the density
How does altitude affect density and pressure?
Air pressure decreases as altitude increases. As air pressure decreases, so does density.
How does increasing the density of gas affect its pressure?
By increasing the density of a gas its air pressure will subsequently increase.
How does increasing the density of a gas affect the pressure?
By increasing the density of a gas its air pressure will subsequently increase.
What factors affect the density of sea?
Temperature, salinity, and pressure.
How does increasing attitude affect air pressure and density?
as the altitude increase, the effect of gravity become more insignificant on air and the air become more disperse or thinner hence it does affect the air pressure and density by decreasing both air pressure and density of the air.
What factors affect hydrostatic pressure?
depth of liquid and density of the liquid
How does the number of particles affect the pressure of a gas?
Increased density and temperature.
How Does temperature affect air pressure and air density?
When altitude rises, the air pressure and density both decrease. When temperature rises that means that more air is pushing down on it. So this means that the air pressure and density rise when temperature rises.
How does temperature affect air density and air pressure?
When altitude rises, the air pressure and density both decrease. When temperature rises that means that more air is pushing down on it. So this means that the air pressure and density rise when temperature rises.
