GEO101L Earth Science Module 3 Lab: Soil Porosity and Permeability Soils are made up of particles of rock, along with the spaces between those particles. Physical characteristics of soil particles, such as size and shape, can influence how water moves through them. Aquifers are underground layers of rock that are capable of storing water. An aquifer is recharged when water filters through the soil levels above it. In this lab you will investigate the characteristics of known and unknown soil
