1·What happens depends on pore size.
所发生的一切取决于孔隙大小。
2·This pore space is known as porosity and is expressed as a percentage of the total rock volume.
这个孔隙空间被称为孔隙度，用岩石总体积的百分比表示。
3·The ability of water, or other fluids, to flow through the interconnected pore spaces in rocks is termed permeability.
水或其他流体通过岩石中相互连通的孔隙空间的能力称为渗透率。
4·Porosity is important for water-storage capacity, but for water to flow through rocks, the pore spaces must be connected.
孔隙度对地层储水能力尤为重要，但要让水能够从岩石中流出，孔隙之间必须相互连通。
5·Water also can infiltrate the rock and significantly increase the rock's "pore pressure," which also can set off or hasten the arrival of a temblor.
水还可以渗透进入岩石显著增加岩石的“孔隙压力”，这也可能引发或加速地震的到来。
