Barometric Pressure Affects on Fishing Part I

That explained it alot better than my college Meteorology professor, nice job!

I was taught that water in a fluid state can not be compressed. If this is true then how does barometric pressure affect fish that live in the water?

JL, that's interesting. I was always taught anything can be compressed, and the laws of physics would determine the reaction of the material. For instance, if water was compressed, it would add pressure to the container it is in. Kind of like a suppersoaker, You pump water in and you compress the water, that had previously filled the entire tank, and this propells the water out. Now of course the argument is that you pumped air in, and the air compressed, but if the tank is full of water, you would have to compress the water to add the air.

Also compression creates excited atoms, that results in a release of heat. That is why ice will melt when you step on it, then you have water under your feet, usually still on top of a layer of ice, and you are slip sliding away... I would sing that, but as I posted earlier, you'd leave...LMAO
