What is the main characteristic of an aquifer?
Permeability
What characteristics or factors affect potential aquifers?
An aquifer is a body of permeable rock that can contain or transmit groundwater. Some factors that affect potential aquifers are permeability, thickness and hydraulic properties.
What is the bedrock below an aquifer called?
The bedrock below an aquifer is called the water table. For example if a hole is dug into sand, very wet and saturated sand at shallow depth this would represent the aquifer and the level to which the water rises in this hole would be called the water table.
What is an aquiclude?
A geologic formation that contains water which is not easily extractable for use, because of the low permeability of the formation's constituent material.
What is the ability of a cell membrane to allow material to pass through it called?
permeability
What is the main characteristic of an aquifer?
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.
When examining the geology of a region for potential useable aquifers what characteristics or factors would you consider?
The characteristics to consider in this case include; the aquifer material, porosity, permeability, and aquifer depth.
Which soil has greatest permeability?
sandy
Which sample has the greatest permeability?
a, b, c or d
A permeable rock layer that transmits groundwater?

C. R. Dudgeon has written: 'Drilling mud invasion of unconsolidated aquifer materials' 'Effects of near-well permeability variation on well performance'
What feature of a membrane describes whether molecules can cross the membrane?
