Can a rock have high porosity but low permeability?
Yes for example Clay has high porosity and low permeability
What factors control the porosity of an aquifer?
size of the particles in the material shapes and uniformity of the material amount of cementing agent in the pore space of the material All of the above are correct.
What is the volume of voids of open space in a rock or unconsolidated material?
Porosity is the volume of open spaces in rock or soil.
What does it mean if a rock has a high porosity?
Sedimentary rocks are composed of clasts or grains that have been pressed together. The gaps or spaces between these grains are known as pores or pore spaces. As such Porosity is a measurement of the volume of pore space compared to the total volume of the rock and is usually expressed as a percentage. As such a rock that has a high porosity has a very large amount of pore space compared to its total volume. For example a rock with a porosity of 50% would essentially be composed of 5o% solid material and 50% empty space (whcih may in turn be filled with fluid or gas or a mixture of the two.
Clay and solid rock are in porosity?
clay and solid rock has porosity
Is a glass an example of porosity?
yes.... it is an answer for porosity....
What does porosity mean in ceramics?
A volume fraction of a material that is empty, or without material.
How does porosity arise in materials?
Like how poruous it is (how easily water goes through it)
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.
Can a rock have high porosity but low permeability?
Yes for example Clay has high porosity and low permeability
What term denotes the percentage of open space or voids in a material?
Porosity
How can you use porosity in a sentence?
Here this is an example one : This is applied to the wood before staining and reduces the porosity of the wood.
What factors control the porosity of an aquifer?
size of the particles in the material shapes and uniformity of the material amount of cementing agent in the pore space of the material All of the above are correct.
Difference between porosity and permeability?
Porosity is the amount of void space in a rock or other earth material (like a sand deposit) - in other words, it´s how much water a material can hold. Permeability refers to how well water flows through a material - that´s controlled by how large the pores are, and how well connected they are.
How many square feet does 5 liters cover?
If you are thinking of paint (or something similar), you need to look at the tin to determine the coverage of the substance. That will also depend on the nature of the material that you are trying to cover - its porosity, for example.
What is low porosity and high porosity?
big particles=low porosity small particles=high porosity
What is the volume of voids of open space in a rock or unconsolidated material?
Porosity is the volume of open spaces in rock or soil.
