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.

The magnitude of an earthquake is measured with a seismograph and the readout is measured using the Richter scale - See Sources and related links for more information.
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.
To test the porosity of a soil, you can conduct a simple experiment called the water infiltration test. Dig a hole in the soil, pour a measured amount of water into the hole, and then measure the time it takes for the water to infiltrate into the soil. The faster the water infiltrates, the higher the porosity of the soil.
big particles=low porosity small particles=high porosity
Rock porosity refers to the volume of open spaces (pores) within a rock, typically measured as a percentage of the total rock volume. Porosity is essential in determining the potential reservoir capacity for fluids like oil and gas, as it represents the amount of space available for fluid storage and movement within the rock. A high porosity indicates a greater capacity for fluid storage, while low porosity indicates less storage capacity.
Porosity is the formation of bubbles in the weld.
how do we calculate porosity of ceramic?
poorly sorted = low porosity well sorted = high porosity
The porosity directly correlates with the permeability because the permeability requires a certain level of porosity for a certain measure of it.
What is porosity ? And how can it affect hair color
No, clay porosity is typically lower than sand porosity. Clay particles are small and tightly packed, leading to lower porosity compared to sand particles, which are larger and have more open spaces between them.
No. Porosity is defined as the measure of the storage capacity of a rock. it is the ability of holding a fluid. Its formula is defined as Pore Volume / Bulk Volume. If you take the units, m^3 / m^3 (metric), there is no unit at all. It is just a percentage or a ratio... Hope that answers your question
Primary porosity: The initial pore space that forms in rocks during their formation. Secondary porosity: Pore space created by post-depositional processes like fracturing or dissolution. Effective porosity: The portion of the total porosity that allows fluid flow through the rock.
Herringbone porosity refers to a specific type of porosity pattern that resembles the bones of a herring fish. It is commonly observed in materials such as welds, ceramics, and rocks, where the porosity formation is aligned in a repetitive V-shape pattern. This type of porosity can impact the structural integrity and mechanical properties of the material.
