Porosity is a measure of the void spaces in a material, typically expressed as a percentage of total volume. It indicates the amount of pore space available for fluids to flow through a substance, such as rock or soil. High porosity allows for greater fluid flow, while low porosity restricts fluid movement.
What else can I help you with?
Is clay porosity higher than sand porosity?
No, clay porosity is typically lower than sand porosity. Clay particles are small and tightly packed, leading to lower porosity compared to sand particles, which are larger and have more open spaces between them.
What are three types of porosity?
Primary porosity: The initial pore space that forms in rocks during their formation. Secondary porosity: Pore space created by post-depositional processes like fracturing or dissolution. Effective porosity: The portion of the total porosity that allows fluid flow through the rock.
How does porosity affect infiltration?
Porosity refers to the amount of empty space in a material. A higher porosity means there are more empty spaces, allowing for better infiltration of water. In contrast, lower porosity restricts the movement of water into the ground.
How much porosity does clay hold?
Clay typically has high porosity, ranging from 40-60%. The porosity of clay allows it to absorb and retain water, making it an ideal material for agriculture and pottery.
The porosity of granite?
As much as 1% in granites sold for interior use. That is "granite" not granite though.

Porosity is the formation of bubbles in the weld.
How does sorting of rock particles affect porosity of rocks?
poorly sorted = low porosity well sorted = high porosity
