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 often form in deltas and rivers because the constant flow of the river drags sediments from the river bed and deposits them in a confined area. Igneous rocks are formed when molten rocks cool. Magma and lava spewing from volcanoes are the two most common source for igneous rocks. Granite, pumice, obsidian and scoria are all examples of igneous rocks. Metamorphic rocks begin as either sedimentary or igneous rocks.
