What is formed when groundwater pool between a permeable layer and impermeable layer?
An aquifer forms when groundwater pools between a permeable layer and an impermeable layer.
Is an aquifer a permeable rock layer filled with water?
zone of aeration.
How is the cell membrane involved in regulating osmosis?
It is semi-permeable to water, in which water can pass it through the double lipid layer or through proteins crossing the double layer of the cell membrane.
Word describing layer of rock that transmits water freely?
This would be an aquifer. The rock itself would be described as being permeable or having a high hydraulic conductivity.
What is permeable barrier?
Permeable layers allow either all or only certain things in and out. The ground is permeable because it allows water to sink through it. Skin is also permeable because it takes in oxygen and liquids but it keeps other foreign objects out. The skin can let out waste by sweating.
What is a permeable layer of rock the is saturated with water?
An Aquifer.
What is the name given to a layer of permeable rock that allows the flow of groundwater?
An aquifer is a layer of permeable rock that contains water. It usually conducts groundwater and supplies the water for wells and springs.
What type of water is aquifer?
An aquifer is not a type of water. It is an underground layer of permeable rock, sediment or soil that contains water. Wells are dug to reach this layer to obtain water.
What layer is permeable?
A fully permeable layer is a layer that allows all substances to pass through. A partially permeable membrane is a membrane that only allows some substances to infiltrate.
What is formed when groundwater pool between a permeable layer and impermeable layer?
An aquifer forms when groundwater pools between a permeable layer and an impermeable layer.

What does sandstone aquifer mean?
An underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock or unconsolidated materials such as sand or gravel.
What is it when Water within a porous and permeable sedimentary rock layer that is bounded only below by a non-permeable sedimentary rock layer is called?
The permeable rock bearing the groundwater is an aquifer. If the impermeable rock layer at it's base (known as an aquiclude) is of limited lateral extent such that the groundwater level away from this area is much lower, then it may be known as a perched water table.
