Yes, sedimentary rocks are often porous, meaning they contain spaces or voids that can hold fluids, such as water or oil. The degree of porosity varies depending on the type of sedimentary rock and its composition, with certain rocks like sandstone typically exhibiting higher porosity than others like shale. This porosity makes sedimentary rocks important reservoirs for Natural Resources, including groundwater and hydrocarbons.

What does a porous rock mean?
porous rocks are rocks through which water etc. can seep or pass through.
What are the properties of sedimentary rock?
sedimentary rocks have layers showing the deposition of sediment at different time periods.sedimentary rocks consists of lots of small grains. these grains maybe weakly and together so the rocks are often porous and maybe soft and crumbly.sedimentary rocks often have fossils trapped with in them.sedimentary rocks consist of layers of lots of small particals.

Is porous a rock formed from grains stuck together?
A rock formed from grains stuck together would be Porous
Are rocks that are changed by metamorphism more porous or less?
Than?? Marble certainly isn't porous.
What makes some rocks porous?
The sediments (grain) have some definite shape and volume. Considering a spherical sediment the packing of the sediments around a grain can be octahedral leaving spaces in between. These are the pore spaces which makes the rocks porous.
What are the rocks that have pores?
Porous rocks.
What does a porous rock mean?
porous rocks are rocks through which water etc. can seep or pass through.
Are igneous rocks less porous than sedimentary rocks?
Generally, yes. Igneous rocks are typically less porous than sedimentary rocks because they form from molten magma that cools and solidifies quickly, leaving minimal space for pores to form. Sedimentary rocks, on the other hand, are often composed of loose grains or fragments that can create more pore spaces within the rock.
What rocks are porous?
These are some porous rocks: chalk, limestone, sandstone, pumice, scoria.
What is the other name for non porous rocks?
Impervious rocks.
Why porous rocks are not suitable for reservoir construction?
Porous rocks absorb water. Anything that can absorb water would not be good at containing it.
Where is precipitation stored between or within the rocks?
Yes. It will depend on the type of rock. For a porous rock,such as sandstone or shale, the water can be within the rocks. For non-porous rocks it will be stored between the rocks.
What cn be found in sediment rocks?
Fossils and sediment
Why sedimentary rocks are porous?
they are often porous because of fossil imprints and pressure put on them at different spots
