Tip #4 5/11/12

Read today’s lab and then answer the following questions.

1. The open space in between particles of sediment can be fractures in rock, cavities caused by erosion, or simply ________ between rock particles.

2. ______________refers to the percentage of open spaces in a given volume of sediment.

3. How does particle size affect the porosity of a material?

4. How does the sorting of a material affect its porosity?

Help for science tip #4

Igneous and metamorphic rock tend to leave little pore space

Poorly sorted sediments usually have lower porosity because the fine-grained fragments tend to fill in the open space.

Well-rounded coarse-grained sediments usually have higher porosity than fine-grained sediments, because the grains do not fit together well.
