31. As water accumulates in the pore space of a body of rock around a fault, the pressure inside the pores builds. 32. Well logging interpretation of the amount of hydrocarbon in the pore space of a formation, relies on the fluid being oil. 33. In this scenario, a rising water table forced the gas from the pore spaces within the soil upwards to the surface. 34. For impacts into highly porous materials, a significant crater volume may also be formed by the permanent compaction of the pore space . 35. The pore space allows for the infiltration and movement of air and water, both of which are critical for life in soil. 36. Soil texture determines total volume of the smallest pores; clay soils have smaller pores, but more total pore space than sands. 37. Glauconite can constitute a large percentage of the reservoir rock, and therefore the associated intra-particular pore space can be significant. 38. Mesofauna contribute to habitable pore spaces and account for a small portion of total pore spaces ( Hassink et al . 1993 ). 39. Mesofauna contribute to habitable pore spaces and account for a small portion of total pore spaces ( Hassink et al . 1993 ). 40. Some of the gas produced is held in natural fractures, some in pore spaces , and some is adsorbed onto the organic material.
