more sphericity,more porosity
good sorting ,more uniform size and more will be the porosity
porosity doesnot depend on size of grain

Which two factors about the particles in a rock have the greatest effect on the porosity of the rock?
shape and sorting
What is the relationship between porosity bulk density and particle density?
If you were to graph particle size and porosity, it would be a constant slope (horizontal line).Porosity is not affected by particle size.
What does high porosity and low permeability mean?
Porosity refers to the amount of empty space that is between particles of material. When something has a low porosity, it does not have much of this space between its particles.
What is grain sorting?
Grain sorting is used in the observation of geological specimens such as sands.Sorting refers to the distribution of grain sizes in a rock.There are 2 classifications of sorting.Well sorted = All grains in the rock are the same size. (e.g desert sandstone)Poorly sorted = A mixture of grain sizes. (e.g Sandstone mixed with clay or gravel mixed with sand)Well sorted sands result from long transport where unstable minerals have been winnowed out. They have higher porosity and permiability.Poorly sorted material is the result of rapid deposition of sediment without sorting by currents of wind or water.
How does porosity arise in materials?
Like how poruous it is (how easily water goes through it)
How does sorting of rock particles affect porosity of rocks?
poorly sorted = low porosity well sorted = high porosity
Which two factors about the particles in a rock have the greatest effect on the porosity of the rock?
shape and sorting
How does porosity affects building materials?
old
How does porosity affect infiltration?
Porosity affects infiltration because it determines the speed of the infiltration whether it will be fast or not
What factors affect porosity?
The larger the particle size, the higher the porosity. Also keep in mind that angular particles have a higher porosity than round particles. *Good way to remember porosity is that the spaces between particles are "pore-like."
What is low porosity and high porosity?
big particles=low porosity small particles=high porosity
What is the tagalog meaning of porosity?
Ang kahulugan ng "porosity" sa Tagalog ay "papak" o "bukas-bukas." Ito ay tumutukoy sa dami o kahabaan ng mga butas o espasyo na makikita sa isang bagay tulad ng lupa o kahoy.
Why isn't my hair taking in color?
Hair has different types of porosity. Porosity is the amount of moisture that the hair is able to absorb. There are a lot of factors that affects the porosity of the hair such as hair colors, perms, relaxers and other things. The more the hair is expose to these factors affects the overall porosity of the hair. The Porosity are Resistant porosity, normal, or extreme. Extreme porosity will relate to damaged hair that are unable to take color very well or it will fade faster or often. That means that the cuticle is missing and the hair is badly damaged.
Is a glass an example of porosity?
yes.... it is an answer for porosity....
What does porosity mean in welding?
Porosity is the formation of bubbles in the weld.
How do you calculate porosity of clay bricks?
how do we calculate porosity of ceramic?
How does porosity and permeability interact?
The porosity directly correlates with the permeability because the permeability requires a certain level of porosity for a certain measure of it.
