The percentage of open spaces between mineral grains in clastic rocks is called?
Porosity refers to the percentage of open space between individual rock particles in a rock layer. This space can be between grains or within the cracks or cavities of the rock.
What causes soil and rock particles to rise?
Water from rainfall and runoff seep into the ground, so it fills the spaces between particles of soil and rock. The water freezes and gets bigger, (expands) and it causes the lifting of rock and soil. ☺
How is ground water stored?
Groundwater is stored in the tiny open spaces between rock and sand, soil, and gravel. How well loosely arranged rock (such as sand and gravel) holds water depends on the size of the rock particles.
What is formed when particles and bits of rock are cemented together?
The rock that forms when particles of rock or plant remains are cemented together is called sedimentary rock.
Water that fills spaces in rock and sediments is called?
groundwater
What fills spaces between particles of rock and soil?
its groundwater!
What is the name of the underground area where the rainwater collects in the spaces between the rock particles?
It is an aquifer.

What causes a rock to be porous?
Space between the particles of the rock.
What is a rock that's full of tiny connected air spaces called?
a rock that is full of tiny, connected air spaces is PERMEABLE
What does rock particles mean?
All of these changes break rocks into smaller pieces called rock particles
Which rock is formed when particles stick together?
The rock formed when particles stick together is called Sedimentary Rock. The type of this rock depends on the composition and texture of the particles sticking together.
What is formed when particles and bits of rock are cemented together?
The rock that forms when particles of rock or plant remains are cemented together is called sedimentary rock.
