What is porosity

• Rocks

• The percent of the volume of open spaces in rock or sediment

• Ability rock sediment fluids pass through open spaces/pores

• Nothing

Define permeability

• Water

• Nothing

• Percent of volume of open spaces in rock or sediment

• Ability rock/sediment fluids pass through open spaces/pores

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

Water flows through permeable materials ____ than impermeable materials.
