The variations in the seismic dissipation of lunar and terrestrial rocks (1/Q) with partial pressure of water and other volatiles were measured for several limestones and sandstones. The 1/Q of both materials is affected by water vapor, but its value is lower for limestones than for sandstones. Limestones adsorbed less water than the sandstones; velocities of limestones of comparable porosity decreased by 30% as the relative humidity increased from 0 to 80%. Limestones have lower surface areas than the sandstones which was attributed to varying amounts of clays. A plot of 1/Q vs mass adsorbed shows that most of the increase in dissipation is associated with the adsorption of the first two monolayers of water.
