Question

2) The samples used in this activity are well sorted. How would porosity values change if the experiment was conducted with poorly sorted sediment?

Part B: Observe the three rock samples provided: A) Coquina, B) Shale, C) Pumice. Complete your response with high or lowwhere appropriate.

POROSITY EXERCISE-PART B Observe the three rock samples provided: Include a high or answers in your response answer where appropriate. State your * Coquina Pumice Sha Porosity High or Low? Permeability High or Low? Porosity High or Low? Permeability High or Low? Porosity High or Low? Permeability High or Low? FIU

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Porosity is the tendency to hold water in rock, it would be more for well sorted whereas permeability is the ability to transmit the water through pores which is depend upon interconnected pores in rock.

Therefore, in these samples coquina, are looking poorly sorted hence it would shows low porosity and low permeability.

Pumice shows low pororsity and high permeability.

And shale shows high porosity and low permeability.
