Can a rock have high porosity but low permeability?
Yes for example Clay has high porosity and low permeability
What is an accurate description of clay soil?
high porosity, low permeability
Which is an accurate description of silty soil?
moderate porosity, low permeability
What is an accurate description of sandy soil?
moderate porosity, low permeability.
Compare the porosity and the permeability of an aquifer with the porosity and the permeability of a layer of shale beneath the aquifer?
The permeability and porosity of an aquifer is very high, air and pretty much any liquid can pass trough it with ease. Where as shale has very little porosity making it virtually impossible for air or liquid to pass through.

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.
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 the name of the process of the ability of water to pass through a rock?
Porosity or permeability .
How does water moves through the ground?
Porosity and permeability of the rock or soil is how water moves.
How quickly would groundwater flow through rock with porosity and high permeability?
75
How does sorting of rock particles affect porosity of rocks?
poorly sorted = low porosity well sorted = high porosity
