The pressure in a liquid at a given depth is called the hydrostatic pressure. This can be calculated using the hydrostatic equation: P = rho * g * d, where P is the pressure, rho is the density of the liquid, g is gravity (9.8 m/s^2) and d is the depth (or height) of the liquid.
It's called Filtration
It is called low air pressure or a low-pressure system. As air pressure decreases, it typically signifies unsettled weather conditions with the possibility of precipitation.
Yes, a stable star is in equilibrium, called hydrostatic equilibrium, when the outward pressure from heat caused by core fusion processes balances the inward pull of gravity. There are other factors which alter the form of stars such as their rotation or gravity from external sources such as a nearby mass.
False. An equilibrium in which all the components are in the same phase (solid, liquid, or gas) is called a homogeneous equilibrium.
Basically it is because of gravity. The technical explanation is called the " principle of hydrostatic equilibrium ".
The properties of a main-sequence star can be understood by considering the various physical processes occurring in the interior. First is the hydrostatic balance, also called hydrostatic equilibrium. This determines the density structure of the star as the internal pressure gradient balances against the force of gravity.
The balance of forces that keep a star from collapsing is called hydrostatic equilibrium. This equilibrium is maintained between the inward force of gravity and the outward force generated by gas pressure within the star.
When air pressure is constant throughout a region of the atmosphere, the region is in a state known as "hydrostatic equilibrium".
The phenomenon is called hydrostatic equilibrium - it pushes the star in to a stable state and it marks the start of the Main Sequence.
No, the movement of substances from an area of higher hydrostatic pressure to an area of lower hydrostatic pressure is not called diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of substances from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. The movement of substances from an area of higher hydrostatic pressure to an area of lower hydrostatic pressure is called filtration. Filtration is a passive process driven by the pressure difference across a membrane.
a hydrostatic skeleton
An artesian aquifer is a confined aquifer containing groundwater under positive pressure. This causes the water level in a well to rise to a point where hydrostatic equilibrium has been reached. A well drilled into such an aquifer is called an artesian well.

Hydrostatic weighing, also called underwater weighing, involves being weighed underwater.requires one to be completely submerged in water for a few seconds. ref. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-hydrostatic-weighing.htm
Dont u mean what is equilibrium?
this is called equilibrium or competitive equilibrium.
