<span><span>Porosity is the amount of empty space in a rock or other earth material (like sand) - in other words, it's how much water a material can hold.
Permeability refers to how well water flows through a material - the flow is controlled by how large the pores are and how well connected the pores are in a given object.</span><span>Therefore, there these are two primary factors that limit the movement and the amount of water (or other fluids) retained in rocks/sedimentary materials.</span></span>
Answer:
Without the plants and algae trap and stabilize sediment, it erodes. As coral reefs degrade, habitat for marine life is lost and nearby coastlines become more susceptible to storms, waves and erosion. Corals used to form barriers to protect the shoreline from waves and storms. Without the coral reef structure buffer zones, the shorelines are more susceptible to storms, and floods, property damage, and wind erosion. The seafloor itself erodes too. This means that the seas along those coasts have become unexpectedly deep.
