1 LAB TITLE : POROSITY AND PERMEABILITY

2 POROSITY - The amount of open pore space between particles of a material.

3 PERMEABILITY -The ability of rock and soil to allow water to pass through

4 IMPERMEABLE not - Rock materials that do not allow water to pass through.

5 WATER RETENTION - Water retained by the rock

6 INFILTRATION - Process of water moving down into the ground beneath the rock particles.

7 GROUNDWATER -Liquid water that has infiltrated the ground and lies beneath the land surface.

8 SORTED -Separation of particles by equal size. Ex. Sandstone

9 UNSORTED -Separation of particles by unequal sizes Ex. Glacial deposits

10 TICKET OUT THE DOOR What three factors determine the ability of a rock or soil to allow water to pass between particles?
