Not if you look at the sample sentence provided at that link: Democrats faired marginally better in the study, ringing in at 31 percent.. I believe that using that sentence is an error on dictionary.com's part.
Porosity and Permeability Lab. The terms porosity and permeability are related. ï· porosity â the amount of empty space in a rock or other earth substance; this empty. space is known as pore space. Porosity is how much water a substance can hold. Porosity is usually stated as a percentage of the materialâs total volume. ï· permeability â is how well water flows through rock or other earth substance.
This means that soil is permeable. The ease with which water moves through the soil is called permeability. A soil with high porosity and many small pores can hold a lot of water, but it takes longer for the water to enter all the pores. This means that when a soil has higher porosity it has lower permeability.
