When a diver surfaces too quickly he gets 'the bends'.
As the diver goes down, the pressure causes nitrogen to dissolve in the blood. That's harmless.
On the way up the diver must allow time for the nitrogen to come out of the blood slowly. If the diver comes up faster than the recommended timing, the nitrogen gas will form bubbles and block small blood vessels, causing 'the bends' a painful and life threatening condition that is cured by putting the patient in a pressure chamber and bringing the pressure down very, very slowly.

Does ATP release energy too quickly?
No, it releases it's contained-in-chemical-bonds energy at just exactly the right rate. Without doubt, this happens faster than lightning, yet not altogether too quickly.

Does a smooth surface reduce friction?
There is more friction between the surfaces of 2 smooth surfaces than one smooth surface because there is more surface area.
What is the reason for DCS?
If the diver surfaces too quickly, however, potentially dangerous nitrogen bubbles can form in the tissues and cause DCS. These bubbles can compress nerves, obstruct arteries, veins,
What is a Cartesian Diver most known for?
The Cartesian Diver is actually a scientific experiment. It helps divers determine what amount of air is needed for descent and ascent so that neither is done too quickly which can cause death.
What happens when there is to much water in a river too quickly?

What happens if the gas comes out of the bloodstream too quickly?

Why does applying lubricant to a machines surface improve its efficiency?
It reduces friction between surfaces - and stops components from heating up too quickly.
What happens when you open the service valve on an lp tank too quickly?
the nozzle will rupture
What happens to the sweat levels when you get too hot?
the sweat level increases when we get too hot.this happens because evaporation take place quickly and more water is evaporated.
How would you separate a liquid and a gas?
If you are talking about a gas that is in solution the easiest thing is to reduce the pressure so the gas comes out of solution, similar to a diver ascending in the water column too quickly.
2 what happens if a diver comes to the surface too quickly?
it depends on the depth you are assenting from and the speed. However if your were on 30m deep and assented too fast without equalizing and continuance breathing you can hurt your lung and ears
