What is in the pores of porous rocks?
Air and fluids.
What are rocks with connected pores called?
sorry about spelling - porous rocks
What is water held in pores of rocks called?
Water held in pores of rocks is called groundwater. It is an important natural resource that can be extracted through wells for various uses.
Why do some igneous rocks have bubbles or pores and are these rocks intrusive or extrusive?
The bubbles and pores are from trapped gasses which expanded in the molten material as it neared the surface. They're usually found in extrusive igneous rocks, those that have solidified in the air or on the surface.
Is water absorbed in the pores?
Yes, water can be absorbed into the pores of certain materials like soil, rocks, and ceramics. The amount of water absorbed will depend on the size and structure of the pores, as well as the surface properties of the material.
Do metamorphic rocks have pores?
They rarely have pores. But sometimes they get them from all the heat and pressure their put under.
What is the force of expanding water in the cracks of pores and rocks an example of?
It is called pore water pressure
What is the layer of rocks and soil with pores that contain air as well as water called?
Saturated Zone .
How does freezingwater cause the weathering of rocks?
Water can get into fractures/joints/pores of rock, freeze, and then expand, weathering the rock.
What is the scientific term for rocks that let water in?
Permeable rocks, like sandstone or limestone, have the ability to allow water to pass through their pores and fractures. These rocks are important for groundwater storage and movement in aquifers.
What is the word for water going into rocks?
The process of water seeping or flowing into rocks is called infiltration. This occurs as water moves through the pores and cracks in the rock, eventually becoming groundwater.
Examples of permeable and impermeable rocks?
Permeable rocks: sandstone, limestone, and conglomerate. These rocks have interconnected pores that allow water and other fluids to flow through them. Impermeable rocks: granite, basalt, and shale. These rocks have very few or no pores, making them resistant to the movement of water and fluids.
