Clay and solid rock are in porosity?
clay and solid rock has porosity
What rock is low in porosity and low in permeability?
Most intrusive igneous rock is low in porosity and permeability.
A rock with a high porosity will probably?
float
Can a rock have high porosity but low permeability?
Yes for example Clay has high porosity and low permeability
What is the volume of open pore spaces in a rock?
This is known as porosity.
What are two factors about the particles in a rock have the greatest effect on the porosity of the rock?
Porosity refers to the measure of how much of a rock is open space. The two factors concerning particles in a rock that have the greatest effect on the rock's porosity are shape and distribution.

Shape and Distribution
Which two factors about the particles in a rock have the greatest effect on the porosity of the rock?
shape and sorting
Clay and solid rock are in porosity?
clay and solid rock has porosity
The soil with the greatest porosity would have?
round particles of the same size.
What rock is low in porosity and low in permeability?
Most intrusive igneous rock is low in porosity and permeability.
How quickly would groundwater flow through rock with porosity and high permeability?
75
How does sorting of rock particles affect porosity of rocks?
poorly sorted = low porosity well sorted = high porosity
What is the deffination of absolute porosity?
total porosity of the rock weather their individual grains are connected or not.
A rock with a high porosity will probably?
float
Can a rock have high porosity but low permeability?
Yes for example Clay has high porosity and low permeability
How does density relate to porosity?
The relationship between density and porosity is an indirect proportionality.That is, the higher the density of a rock, the lower will be the porosity of that rock.In a more explicit way, the weight of over-lying rocks increase the density of the rock beneath, which in turn decreases the amount of pore spaces (porosity) of the rock through processes such as compaction, cementation, etc. Posted by Nwigwudu Ikechukwu.
