@LadyM
plz help

Answer 2

well let me see here..

Answer 3

Porosity is a measure of how much of a rock is open space. This space can be between grains or within cracks or cavities of the rock.
Permeability is a measure of the ease with which a fluid (water in this case) can move through a porous rock.
the lower the porosity the less of the water flow would be. The higher the porosity would make it easy for water to flow through rocks.
with permeability it checks to see how easy the water flows or how difficult it flow. so the answer would most likely be
A . high porosity and high permeability

Answer 4

hopefully that made some sort of sense.

Answer 5

D

Answer 6

so what is correct answer?

Answer 7

D is correct answer! i took the assessment!

Answer 8

I don't understand how D is correct thought because I just took the assessment also and that answer was wrong
