Groundwater, oil, and natural gas are commonly found in these spaces in sedimentary rock?
groundwater
Pore spaces and other gaps in rocks allow water to pass through
There are three types of groundwater - 1) Connate which is entrappped brackish water found in the cracks or open spaces of rocks 2 Juvenile which comes directly from magma 3) Meteoric the type most often refered to as groundwater that is fresh, circulating water in the rocks open spaces.
Actually, it's the other way around. Sedimentary rocks have a higher porosity because of the larger spaces between the rock particles which compose them.
Groundwater fills spaces between particles of soil.
Sedimentary Rocks. When holes are drilled through the rock into these spaces, natural gas is obtained for out usage
the definition of groundwater is water that fills the cracks and spaces in underground soil and rock layers
It is not a specific layer. Rocks have a certain degree of porosity (especially sedimentary rocks), which means spaces between the mineral grains from which they are made. When these spaces are interconnected the rock is said to be permeable. Rocks made out of ine grained clay particles have little porosity and are impermeable, conversely sandstones are usually highly porous and very permeable. The spaces in the rocks are usually filled with groundwater but may also be filled with oil or natural gas. Groundwater saturates rocks at a depth called the water table and the surface of this table follows the contours of the topography. When you dig a well you dig down into and past the water table. An aquifer comprises porous and permeable rocks below the water table from which large amounts of groundwater can be extracted.

The upper surface of groundwater is called the unsaturated zone. The unsaturated upper surface contains water, as well as spaces of air, particle grains and rocks.
Groundwater is water that collects and flows beneath the Earth'surface, filling spaces in soil, sediment and rocks. The upper surface of groundwater is the water table

Calibration gases are used to ensure that gas detectors are operating properly when working in confined spaces. They are commonly used in underground utilities or natural gas refineries.
Pore spaces and other gaps in rocks allow water to pass through
The two zones of groundwater are the saturated zone and unsaturated zone.The saturated zone is filled with water and is below the unsaturated zone. The unsaturated zone has water and air in its pores (tiny open spaces in the soil).
Yes, aquifers can be formed by sandstone. Sandstone is a type of sedimentary rock that has the ability to hold and transmit water. When sandstone contains enough interconnected pore spaces, it can function as a reservoir for groundwater and act as an aquifer.
