Why doesn't the pressure of the Earth's atmosphere collapse delicate surfaces on the surface such as flower petals?

Air pressure is exerted in all direction, and on both the outsides and insides of objects

What causes atmospheric air to be rapidly heated?
In the atmosphere, warm surfaces can heat the air above them. High pressure in the atmosphere is what causes the air to rapidly heat.
How does the atmosphere reflect energy?
Some sunlight is absorbed or reflected by the atmosphere before it can reach the surfaces.
How would temperature variations in soil and water surfaces affect air pressures in the atmosphere above them?
I have no idea, sorry. I need this question answered too, so please help me out!
How different SURFACES affect the stopping distance of a car?
Smoother surfaces make the car take longer to stop vs rough surfaces. This is because the car is not able to gain enough traction on smooth surfaces.
How does a glacier affects the land?
A glacier can completely reshape the land. As it is made of very heavy ice, this ice can erode surfaces from the debris and rocks that it carries and the amount of pressure it places on the surface beneath it during its movement.
What are the surfaces of the gas giants?
When it comes to determining a gas giant's volume, diameter, etc., the "surface" is the depth in the planet's atmosphere at which the air pressure equals one atmosphere (the same air pressure as in the earth's atmosphere at sea level).
What causes atmospheric air to be rapidly heated?
In the atmosphere, warm surfaces can heat the air above them. High pressure in the atmosphere is what causes the air to rapidly heat.
What keeps temperature of the surfaces from changing rapidly?
The atmosphere.
Why is there more friction between large surfaces?
Because there is more pressure in the surfaces.
What is the movement of water between surfaces and the atmosphere?
This is called the water cycle.
Why does earth use air pressure?
Air pressure is basically the weight of air on surfaces.
Which planet has a surface that is almost entirely covered in liquid water?
Uh... this one? It's also thought that Uranus and Neptune have a thick water/ammonia ocean, but technically this lies below their nominal surfaces (which is arbitrarily set at the point in the atmosphere where the pressure is equal to normal atmospheric pressure on Earth).
Where is pressure greater 10 m or 20 m below the surfaces of the sea?
because pressure is high at top not at bottom
What slow evaporation from water surfaces?
Thie depends upon temperature and pressure.
What term describes the specific process of water leaving the surfaces of plants and entering the atmosphere?
transpiration
Why do suction cup stick to wet surfaces better than dry surfaces?
No. How well a suction cup sticks to a surface has to do with how will a seal can be formed on the surface. Rough surfaces will not form good seals compared to smooth surfaces which means that suction cups will not stick as well to rough surfaces as they do to smooth surfaces.
What factors affect the coefficient of friction between two surfaces?
Surface temperature, Weight of the object, Roughness of surface and the object
