They fit together kind of like puzzle pieces, so there is less open spaces (pores).

What are angular sediments?
sedimentary rocks , rocks that rock.
What is the process in which the volume and porosity of a sediment is decreased by the weight of overlying sediments?
The process is called compaction.
Which is a coarse-grained clastic rock that contains angular fragments?
Conglomerate rocks are coarse grained sedimentary rocks wherein large rounded sediments are found. These rounded sediments are referred to as gravel.
Clay and solid rock are in porosity?
clay and solid rock has porosity
List and explain the various factor that influence the rate of weathering?
Porosity .Porous sediments equals better circulation and thus fater weathering process. .Impermeable rocks will mean that no or little circulation and thus slower weathering process.
What are angular sediments?
sedimentary rocks , rocks that rock.
What is the process in which the volume and porosity of a sediment is decreased by the weight of overlying sediments?
The process is called compaction.
What generally happens to the porosity of sediments as they are turned into rock?
Due to the processes of compaction and cementation the pore spaces are generally reduced in size or in-filled with other minerals. This acts to reduce the porosity.
Why is the lower formation porosity the deeper the invasion?
High Filtration
What factors affect porosity?
The larger the particle size, the higher the porosity. Also keep in mind that angular particles have a higher porosity than round particles. *Good way to remember porosity is that the spaces between particles are "pore-like."
What is an Angular?
As a noun, an angular is a bone in the base of the lower jaw of many birds, reptiles and fish.
In the angular momentum equasion what does the lower case omega mean?
the equation of angular momentum is L=I*w (w=omega=angular velocity)
Which is a coarse-grained clastic rock that contains angular fragments?
Conglomerate rocks are coarse grained sedimentary rocks wherein large rounded sediments are found. These rounded sediments are referred to as gravel.
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.
What is low porosity and high porosity?
big particles=low porosity small particles=high porosity
How do moving sediments affects the channel of a stream?
The sediments build up on the floor of the stream, ocean, river, or lake and causes the water to lower.
What is the tagalog meaning of porosity?
Ang kahulugan ng "porosity" sa Tagalog ay "papak" o "bukas-bukas." Ito ay tumutukoy sa dami o kahabaan ng mga butas o espasyo na makikita sa isang bagay tulad ng lupa o kahoy.
