A rock containing well-connected pores is typically called a porous rock. These connected pores allow for the movement and storage of fluids such as water or oil within the rock. Examples of porous rocks include sandstone and limestone.
A sedimentary rock containing methane is known as shale. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock formed from the accumulation of mud and clay with organic matter that can produce and store methane gas within its pores.
When a porous rock is placed in water, the water can seep into the small spaces and pores within the rock. This process, known as water absorption, can increase the rock's weight and may lead to changes in its appearance. Depending on the rock type and its porosity, it may also influence the surrounding water's clarity and mineral content. Over time, if the rock remains submerged, biological growth or sediment accumulation may occur on its surface.
Mechanical weathering
No. Halite is not a metal, its a sedimentary rock. Its also known as Rock Salt.
Pore water. This may also be known as groundwater.
Water contained in pores of soil or rock is groundwater..
no because water stops seeping into the ground when the earth is saturated.
A rock containing well-connected pores is typically called a porous rock. These connected pores allow for the movement and storage of fluids such as water or oil within the rock. Examples of porous rocks include sandstone and limestone.
Then fluid can travel through the rock, and the rock is said to be "permeable".
Intrusive rocks, also called plutonic rocks, cool slowly without ever reaching the surface. They have large crystals that are usually visible without a microscope. This surface is known as a phaneritic texture. Perhaps the best-known phaneritic rock is granite
A sedimentary rock containing methane is known as shale. Shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock formed from the accumulation of mud and clay with organic matter that can produce and store methane gas within its pores.
Rock with unconnected pores is typically referred to as "tight" or "impermeable" rock. This type of rock has pores that do not interconnect, which prevents the flow of fluids through it. As a result, it often acts as a barrier to groundwater or hydrocarbons, making it less effective as a reservoir compared to porous rocks with well-connected pore networks. Examples include certain types of shale or dense limestones.
the zone in rock layers where all the pores are filled with water
Cantaloupe is also known as rock melon.

Water can get into fractures/joints/pores of rock, freeze, and then expand, weathering the rock.
