Sorry to say water is virtually incompressible, as are most fluids.

Thats the point. Because fluids do not compress the mass has to move.

"We might think water is not compressible. However, if that were the case then the oceans would be about 30 meters higher than they are now, and therefore cover an extra 5 million square kilometers of Earth!"

That's why I said "virtually" and "most".

Err, should that be liquids. They say as you get older you can remember things from earlier in your life and I seem to remember a teacher telling me the 1st law of hydraulics is, 'Liquids are incompressible'. It could be dementure and I'm halucinating.

I just googled, '1st law of hydraulics' and the first entry came up 'second law of thermodynamics'.
