Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Differential pressure typically occurs in scenarios where tectonic forces are at play, such as when two plates collide. This process can lead to the formation of mountains, earthquakes, and other geological features due to the uneven forces applied to the rock, contrasting with lithostatic pressure, which is the pressure exerted equally in all directions due to the weight of overlying rocks.
