Which of the following increases the permeability of a rock?
A. Foliation
B. Compaction
C. Fractures
D. Clay content
E. 3
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Fractures and cracks allow fluids to pass through otherwise impermeable rocks.This makes permeability dependent on both primary (porosity) and secondary (fracturing) factors.This Question Belongs to Geological Engineering >> Engineering Properties Of Rocks And Soils
