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.
Clay and solid rock are in porosity?
clay and solid rock has porosity
Is clay porosity higher than sand porosity?
Yes, clay is more porous than sand. Typical porosity of silt and clay is 35-50% and 33-60%, respectively. Sand has porosity of 20-35%.
What is an aquifer why is it so important?
An aquifer is an underground fresh water source.
What is typical source of well water?
aquifer is the correct answer
When examining the geology of a region for potential useable aquifers what characteristics or factors would you consider?
The characteristics to consider in this case include; the aquifer material, porosity, permeability, and aquifer depth.

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."
What are two factors about the particles in a rock have the greatest effect on the porosity of the rock?
Porosity refers to the measure of how much of a rock is open space. The two factors concerning particles in a rock that have the greatest effect on the rock's porosity are shape and distribution.
What three factors affect a materials porosity?
size and shape are 2 of them
What two factors about the particles in a rock have the greatest effect on the porosity of the rock?
Shape and Distribution
Which two factors about the particles in a rock have the greatest effect on the porosity of the rock?
shape and sorting
What factors control evaporation on a soil surface?
Factors that affect evaporation include temperature, humidity, wind velocity, exposed surface area, porosity of soil, grain size of soil particles, soil water content, matric potential, and sun intensity.
What characteristics or factors affect potential aquifers?
An aquifer is a body of permeable rock that can contain or transmit groundwater. Some factors that affect potential aquifers are permeability, thickness and hydraulic properties.
What is low porosity and high porosity?
big particles=low porosity small particles=high porosity
What is the tagalog meaning of porosity?
Ang kahulugan ng "porosity" sa Tagalog ay "papak" o "bukas-bukas." Ito ay tumutukoy sa dami o kahabaan ng mga butas o espasyo na makikita sa isang bagay tulad ng lupa o kahoy.
Which is better for drinking water from an aquifer or an artesian aquifer?
from an aquifer
