(q003) which of the following statements is true? a. a rock that is porous must also be permeable. b. aquitards don't transmit water at all. c. primary porosity refers to the largest 10% of pore spaces; secondary porosity refers to the remaining 90% of (smaller) pores. d. water moves upward in the capillary fringe because of electrostatic attraction between its molecules and mineral surfaces.

Respuesta :

Using the concepts of capillary fringe, we got  water moves upward in the capillary fringe because of electrostatic attraction between its molecules and mineral surfaces is the true statement among all statements.

The capillary fringe is subsurface layer in which groundwater seeps up from a water table by capillary action to the fill pores. Pores at the base of the capillary fringe are filled with the water due to tension saturation. This saturated portion of the capillary fringe is less than the total capillary rise because of the presence of a mix in pore size.

Hence, the statement which is true is  water moves upward in the capillary fringe because of electrostatic attraction between its molecules and mineral surfaces.
