Why is it easier for water to flow through rock and sediment with larger pores than through rock and sediment with smaller pores

Larger pores mean less friction between flowing water and the sides of the pores. Smaller pores mean more friction between flowing water and pore walls and more twists and turns for the water to navigate. A permeable material has a greater number of larger, well-connected pore spaces. An impermeable material has fewer, smaller pores that are poorly connected.

Explanation:

the number of protons in the nucleus of a given element. has slight luster and conducts electricity at high temperatures like metal.but like a nonmetal,boron is brittle and does not conduct electricity well at low temperatures. in graphite, carbon is a soft,brittle solid.it is reflective,ductile,or malleable.
