- Pressure is a force greater than something it is against.
- It is when one object is applying more force on another that doesnt have as much force.
- Pressure is the force an object puts on another object causing it to change

- Force is the amount of force on a specific area or through matter.
- Pressure is built up energy in an area without the opportunity for expansion
- Pressure is the amount of resistance against something, the more resistance the more pressure
- Pressure is when molecules in air are pressed together so tight they can not expand at all
- Pressure is when there are two forces, an upward and downward, acting on an object
- When an object is being pushed in a specific direction it is receiving pressure
- Pressure is the amount of air in a contained area
