more sphericity,more porosity

good sorting ,more uniform size and more will be the porosity

porosity doesnot depend on size of grain

What factors control the porosity of an aquifer?

The porosity of an aquifer is controlled by factors such as the size, shape, sorting, and packing of the sediment grains, as well as the presence of fractures and other openings in the rock. Additionally, factors such as the degree of compaction and cementation of the sediment grains can also influence porosity. The porosity of an aquifer is important as it affects the storage and movement of water within the subsurface.


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.


What other factors influence porosity?

Other factors that influence porosity include grain size, sorting, mineral composition, cementation, and fracturing within the rock. Additionally, burial history, compaction, and diagenetic processes can also affect porosity in a rock. Clastic rocks typically have higher porosity compared to crystalline rocks due to differences in their formation processes.


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."


Explain how density affects porosity?

Increasing density decreases porosity, as the material becomes more compact and there is less space between particles for fluids to flow through. Conversely, decreasing density increases porosity, allowing for more pore space within the material.


How does texture affect porosity and permeability?

Texture refers to the size, shape, and arrangement of particles in a material. Porosity is influenced by the amount and size of pore spaces between particles, which in turn affects permeability. Finer textures with smaller particles typically result in higher porosity but lower permeability, while coarser textures with larger particles usually have lower porosity but higher permeability.


What is low porosity and high porosity?

big particles=low porosity small particles=high porosity


Compare the porosity and the permeability of an aquifer with the porosity and the permeability of a layer of shale beneath the aquifer?

The permeability and porosity of an aquifer is very high, air and pretty much any liquid can pass trough it with ease. Where as shale has very little porosity making it virtually impossible for air or liquid to pass through.


Why isn't my hair taking in color?

Hair has different types of porosity. Porosity is the amount of moisture that the hair is able to absorb. There are a lot of factors that affects the porosity of the hair such as hair colors, perms, relaxers and other things. The more the hair is expose to these factors affects the overall porosity of the hair. The Porosity are Resistant porosity, normal, or extreme. Extreme porosity will relate to damaged hair that are unable to take color very well or it will fade faster or often. That means that the cuticle is missing and the hair is badly damaged.
