gravel, permeable is the ability of water to pass through the empty spaces. clay would be the least permeable, it does now have lots of pores or open voids for the water to go through. remember, as porosity increases, permeability increases.

What layers are permeable loose soil sand gravel hard clay solid rock?
I is Soil. Because of the cracks and spaces.
Is gravel more permeable than clay?
Gravel has a significantly higher permeability than clay. Typically gravels have saturated hydraulic conductivity values (K) in the range of 1x10-2 to 1x10-3 m/s whereas clays will range from 1x10-8 for layered clays down to 1x10-14 m/s for non weathered clays.
What is the most permeable rock?
Sand. The ability of water to flow through a soil is referred to as the soil's permeability (A) Clay (B) Loam (C) Sand (D) Silt (E) Humu
Is sand more permeable than clay?
Yes, sand is more permeable than clay since sand contains bigger particles and bigger particles equal greater permeability.
What is more permeable sand or clay?
Sand is far and away more permeable than clay. Water poured into sand disappears in moments. Clay layers in the earth can effectively block the penetration of moisture. Big time.

Which is heavier gravel clay sand humus?
First, the lightest soil component is clay. The, there's sand then humus then finally gravel.

How much sand clay gravel and humus does it take to make soil?
25%-sand 255-clay 25%-gravel 25%-humus

What does aquifer?
a water-bearing stratum of permeable rock, sand, or gravel
Types of soil?
gravel,coarse,fine sand,silt and clay
Is limesone made of gravel sand silt or clay?
no its made of stuff
Suppose sand gravel and clay are being carried by a river As the water enters a lake and slows down In what order will these sediments settle out of the water?
the sediment could change in order bto the types of erosions. as a river slows larger pieces settle first gravel settes first, then sand, and then tiny clay sized clay particles
Does sand heat up faster then gravel?
goes faster thru gravel sice the interparticulate spaces are high water can flow in large amounts swiftly. but since sand particles are closely packed it is impossible & result a dull slow flow and im brian
