High porosity and permeability are typically found in sedimentary rocks such as sandstone and limestone, which have interconnected pore spaces that allow fluids to flow easily. Conversely, igneous rocks like granite and metamorphic rocks such as schist generally have low porosity and permeability due to their dense, crystalline structures that lack significant pore spaces. The properties of rocks can significantly affect their ability to store and transmit fluids, making these characteristics important in fields like geology and petroleum engineering.
What else can I help you with?
How can sedimentary and igneous rocks be formed in to metamorphic rocks?
No matter what kinds of rocks they are they can be changed into any other kind of rock. Sedimentary rocks and igneous rocks can become metamorphic rocks with either contact or regional metamorphism. This means that either the rocks have been in contact with or close to high heat and high pressure that changes the rock.
When rocks change form what kind of conservation is it?
metamorphic
What kind of rocks is Yellowstone made out of?
Yellow Stones.
What kind of rock is formed when loose rocks and dirt are transported and re-deposited?
sedimentary rocks are formed
What kind of rocks form when other pieces of rock and matter gather into layers?
a sedimentary rock is formed. depending on which rocks were squished, you can get different rocks
Does rainwater absorb at the same rate in different kind of soil?
No, rainwater absorption rates can vary in different types of soil due to factors like soil composition, compaction, and porosity. Sandy soil allows water to absorb quickly due to its large particles and high permeability, while clay soil has smaller particles and lower permeability, leading to slower absorption rates.
How does water flow through soils How fast?
That depends! It depends on whether the grains or particles in the soil are well sorted (same shape, not flat broad rocks or particles, etc.). It also depends on the permeability of the soil, how easy it is for water to flow through it. For example, sand will have a high permeability because it has small, round, well sorted, uniform particles. But clays, or soils with long flat rocks will have a very low permeability. So....to answer your question, as usual: It depends on the soil. Ask a more specific question, include waht kind of soil and any known properties of the particles in it!
What kind of music does high school musical plays?
Pop. It rocks
What kind of porosity is Antarctic soil?
Antarctic soil typically has low porosity due to the presence of ice which reduces pore space available for air and water. The freezing and thawing cycles in Antarctica can further compact the soil, decreasing its porosity.
What kind of rocks affect freeze thaw action?
Rocks like sandstone, limestone, and granite are particularly susceptible to freeze-thaw action due to their porosity and ability to absorb water. When water seeps into cracks and crevices of these rocks and freezes, it expands, exerting pressure on the rock and causing it to fragment over time.
What kind of rocks are in volcanoes?
