Answer:

Air pressure

Atmospheric pressure, also known as barometric pressure, is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth. The standard atmosphere is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 Pa, which is equivalent to 760 mm Hg, 29.9212 inches Hg, or 14.696 psi.

Liquid pressure

Liquid pressure is the increase in pressure at increasing depths in a liquid. This pressure increases because the liquid at lower depths has to support all of the water above it. We calculate liquid pressure using the equation liquid pressure = mass x acceleration due to g density x depth in fluid.

Air pressure or atmospheric pressure is the pressure as the force exerted by the collisions of particles in the air.

The key difference between air pressure and liquid pressure is that air pressure allows the gaseous state of matter to be compressible, whereas liquid pressure makes a liquid incompressible
