Chapter 11 Forces in Fluids Fluid Pressure Air pressure Balanced pressure Air is a mixture of gases that make up Earthâs atmosphere. These gases press down on everything on Earthâs surface. Air exerts pressure because it has mass. Balanced pressure explains why the tremendous air pressure pushing on you from all sides does not crush you. Pressure from fluids inside your body balances the air pressure outside your body.
