Why doesn't out body get crushed due to atmospheric pressure around us?
The atmospheric pressure will not crush us because there is a balanced force around us. The contents of our bodies are pushing out as much as the air is pushing in. In fact, it used to be thought that you would explode if you were exposed to a vacuum, though this is now thought to be wrong (It would be awful, but your skin is very stretchy). You can work out the pressure with the equation: PRESSURE= FORCE x AREA.
What is mega thrust earthquakes?
That is when usually underwater there are two tectonic plates pushing against each other. The one causes the other to be pushed far down. That second one has a lot of pressure upwards. Suddely that pressure becomes too much, and it jumps up, often quite high. That causes a large earthquake, causing a tsunami.
If the air pressure inside a container were greater than the fluid pressure outside the container what would happen?
Okay i think i might know but i'm not sure but i think this can never happen because if it did the atmospheric pressure would crush us. our fluids in our bodies exert pressure on the atmospheric pressure(the same amount) and pretty much neutralize the effect!
In general as elevation increases from the ground up what happens to atmospheric pressure?
Pressure decreases. This is because atmospheric pressure is a measure of the weight of the atmosphere weighing down. If you are high in the atmosphere, much of the atmosphere is below you so the pressure from above will be very small.
How do you know air exerts pressure in all directions?
If you've ever blown a bubble, blown up a balloon, or aired up a tire, it's pretty easy to see, that air is in fact, exerting pressure in all directions.Additional answerIf air (or any liquid or gas) didn't exert pressure in all directions, the bit where it did not exert so much pressure would be pushed against by the air next to it and it would shrink, which would cause its pressure to rise to match that of the bit that was pushing against it - if you follow that!. So an equilibrium would be established. There's no way, if you think about it, how air could not press in all directions without the system being unstable and correcting itself.
How much water does it take to lift a car?
That depends on the water pressure and the surface area that the water is pushing against.
Why does the strength of a submarine hull have to be stronger than the hull of a ship?
because if a submarine goes under water to deep levels, it needs to hold against the air pressure. Yes the person said above.. They have to have a MUCH higher ability to withstand the pressure of the water pushing in against the hull of it.
How much water can go through a 1inch pipe?
depends on the pressure pushing through the pipe
How much pressure is pushing on us on earth?
The average atmospheric pressure at sea level on Earth is about 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi) or 101.3 kilopascals (kPa). This pressure is due to the weight of the air above us in the atmosphere pushing down on the Earth's surface.

Why newborn blood pressure is lower than adults?
Newborns's bodies are alot smaller. It doesn't take much pressure to get around the body.
Why would my eye have severe pain and the eye bulges out?
Too much pressure in the eye, or something pushing from behind it, GO GET CHECKED OUT !!!!!!!
How does pressure change with depth why?
The pressure on an object increases with depth because there is more pushing on it. For example, four feet below the surface of water, there is a layer of water four feet thick pushing on the object and the water around it. Now several miles down, this layer of water is much thicker, and so exerts more pressure when it is pushing down. In this example I used water, but the same can be applied to any fluid, including air.

What part of the water has high pressure?
The deeper the water, the higher the pressure. This is due to how much weight is on the water. At the top of the ocean, the only thing above the water pushing down on it is air. However, at the bottom of the ocean you have not only the air but the entire body of water above it pushing down. This creates a greater pressure at lower depths.
How much pressure is there when you go ten meters under water?
The pressure at a depth of 10 meters underwater is about 2 atmospheres, which is equivalent to around 1 atmosphere of pressure at the surface plus an additional atmosphere for every 10 meters of depth. This increased pressure is due to the weight of the water above pushing down on you.
When you blow into a balloon what makes it bigger?
The elastic material of common balloons is inflated by a higher pressure of the air inside the balloon. The pressurized air molecules exert a greater force against the inside of the balloon, pushing it outward against the resistance of the elastic material. Non-elastic balloons must have a pressure equal to or greater than the outside air. What makes elastic helium balloons rise is that the helium (although having a higher interior pressure) is much less dense than the outside air, and is displaced by the air and forced upward.
