Sponges are able to soak up a lot of water because of their porous structure. The numerous small holes in a sponge create a large surface area for water to be absorbed. Additionally, the hydrophilic (water-attracting) nature of the material in sponges helps them efficiently soak up water.
Aquifers absorb water the same way that sponges do. However, aquifers are actually permeable rocks that lay underground and soak up moisture.
yes. i did an experiment on it and sponges soak up oil pretty well.
no
Clayey soil
Both have a similar composition that allows them to absorb liquids such as water. If you look closely, you will see they both have "pores". These are what allows them to soak up the water.
That's what the sponge is for. It is there to soak up water, and not to release it. Sponges are super absorbent, so that's why it holds a lot of water, or any liquid. Hope this helps!:)
