Porosity is measured by taking a sample of the soil. The sample is then tested to measure the speed of water passing through the soil.

How does density relate to porosity?
The relationship between density and porosity is an indirect proportionality.That is, the higher the density of a rock, the lower will be the porosity of that rock.In a more explicit way, the weight of over-lying rocks increase the density of the rock beneath, which in turn decreases the amount of pore spaces (porosity) of the rock through processes such as compaction, cementation, etc. Posted by Nwigwudu Ikechukwu.
What does porosity mean in ceramics?

How can you measured the earthquake?

How are earthquakes predicted and measured?
Earthquakes are measured using a seismograph. There is no exact science to predicting an earthquake. Scientists can only project the possibility of an earthquake occurring. This is based on measured seismic activity within a specific concentrated zone.

How does porosity and permeability interact?
The porosity directly correlates with the permeability because the permeability requires a certain level of porosity for a certain measure of it.

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 porosity in welding applicaton?
Porosity is nothing more than bubbles in the weld. Surprisingly a weld can contain quite a bit of porosity without affecting the strength.
