Explanation:

Porosity is the percentage or the volume of void spaces in a unit of rock.

Most sedimentary rocks are porous to a very good extent because they have spaces between them.

  • If rock has a lot of void spaces i.e porous, it will be able to take in more water after a rain storm.
  • The ground will soak in more water and the ground water system will get recharged.
  • Porosity works together with permeability to ensure flow and storage of water in the ground.
  • Permeability is the interconnectivity of the pore spaces.
  • A good porous rock like sandstone will absorbed more water during a rain storm whereas a poorly porous rock will not.

BaLLatris [955]
Foods that contain more than one type of molecule help us meet our daily requirement of nutrients. There is a limit to how much we can eat in a day, so if nutrient rich foods are consumed, we can easily provide the necessary building blocks for our bodies to maintain healthy function. This is not possible with foods that contain only one type of molecule.

GUYS I RLLY RLLY RLLY NEED HELP! Describe the view if you were to stand in the penumbra of a lunar eclipse.
Artemon [7]

Answer:

From within the Moon's penumbra, a partial solar eclipse can be seen. Like any other opaque objects illuminated by a light source, the Moon and the Earth cast shadows into space as they block the sunlight that hits them. Each shadow has three different areas: the umbra, the penumbra, and the antumbra.
