How quickly would groundwater flow through rock with porosity and high permeability?
75
How does the hair's porosity affect haircolor?
What is porosity ? And how can it affect hair color
Can a rock have small spaces but not allow water to flow through?
Yes, it can have porosity, or pore spaces, but may not have permeability, or the ability for a fluid to flow through connected pore spaces.
What is the relationship between the spaces between particles in soil and the flow of water through soil?
In general the larger the pore space (the higher the porosity) the easier it is for water to flow through it (it is more permeable).
How does the porosity affect the amount of water that could stay between rock particles?
Porosity is a measure how hole many pores, or holes a rock has in it. Permeability is a measure of how a rock resists fluids flowing through it. If a rock is very porous and is very permeable, water will pass right through it. Limestone is a good example. If the reverse is true, water will not flow through. Marble or Granite are good examples.
How does sorting of rock particles affect porosity of rocks?
poorly sorted = low porosity well sorted = high porosity
How do impermeable surfaces affect infiltration?
A rock that has high porosity is not permeable if the pores or fractures are not connected. The larger and better shorted the particles are, the more permeable the rock or sediment tends to be. Because of this characteristic composition, clay is essentially impermeable, which means that water cannot flow through it.
How does the permeability of soil and rocks affect the flow of groundwater?
Permeability is when water can pass through different types of soil and rocks. Therefore the permeability affects the soil and rocks because if the soil or rock is PERMEABLE then the groundwater can easily flow through it :)
How does porosity affect infiltration?
Porosity affects infiltration because it determines the speed of the infiltration whether it will be fast or not
