Terminology. Many authors prefer the term annular fissure over annular tear, as the latter seems to imply acute injury 1,2. In the setting of severe trauma with disruption of the disc, then the term disc rupture should be used. The term annular gap (referring to a relatively wide annular fissure) is non-standard 2.any authors prefer the term annular fissure over annular tear, as the latter seems to imply acute injury 1,2.

Sedimentary rocks tend to be more porous than igneous rocks because there is more open space between the individual sediment grains than between the minerals in a crystallized â¦ rock.Porosity of rocks  Consolidated rocks (e.g. sandstone, shale, granite or limestone) potentially have more complex dual porosities, as compared with alluvial sediment.
Sedimentary Rocks. Sedimentary rocks are rocks composed of sediment. Sediment is deposited in a number of environments of deposition, by both moving air and moving water. Sedimentary rock identification is primarily based on composition. Texture will still be used but in a different sense than for igneous rocks.lastic sedimentary rocks contain clasts. These are fragments or pieces of rock or minerals. The composition of clastic sedimentary rocks is divided into three types-clay/silt, sand and gravel. Clay and silt are less than 1/16 mm. These are not visible to the unaided eye.
