A porous rock can be impermeable

• true

• false

• sometimes

• never

Is there any connection between soils' permeability and its porosity?

• 1 - Soil needs to be porous in order to be permeable

• 2 - soil is porous without being permeable if pores are connected

• answers 1 and 2 are correct

• 3 - Soil doesn't need to be porous in order to be permeable.

What affect does particle size have on permeability

• No effect

• The larger the particles the lower the permeability

• The larger the particles the higher the permeability

• The smaller the particles the higher the permeability
