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.
A solid material with no crystal structure?
A solid material with no crystal structure is called amorphous.

kidney, ureter, bladder, urethra
What do you call a substance that flows?

A material's is a measure of the rate at which heat flows through it?
conductivity
What does an electric current act like when it flows through a wire?
it depends on the frequency of the current in question. the higher the frequency, the less depth in the cross-section the current flows. this is termed skin depth.
How well electricity flows through a material?
Depends on the material. The electricity can flow through metal better then it can through wood because wood is a conductor of electricity (example).
The amount of water that flows through a pipe does not depend on?
what type of material the pipe is made out of.
How is clean fresh water produced in nature?
if the water flows through a material such as sand, the impurities get trapped and the water passes through.
Heat flows easily on what material?
Heat moves easily through materials with delocalised electrons, that is electrons which are free to move through the substance. This happens in metals and graphite.
What keeps electricy in the light bulb in a lamp?
Electricity flows through a light bulb and does not stay in it. Electric current is flowing electrons that has energy. When the electricity flows through some material, the properties of the material resists the flow. This causes the material to heat up and if it is thin and of the right type of material, it will glow. Think of it as a water pipe. When the pipe gets thinner, the water pressure builds up.
Does liquid magma flows upward through the crust because it is less dense than the solid material around it?
yes
