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.
Conceptually, that is the same texture we see in igneous and metamorphic rocks, but NOT in clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form because of the precipitation of crystals from aqueous (water) solutions and from chemical residues.ediment is a general term that indicates loose grains (such as the sand at the beach) and chemical precipitates (such as crystals of salt). Sedimentary rocks can be subdivided in three categories: clastic, chemical, and biochemical sedimentary rocks.
