Well, the "letting through" of any substance through an object is considered permeability. Therefore, I'd suppose that the rock's ability to let water pass through the voids is called permeability.

What does a porous rock mean?
porous rocks are rocks through which water etc. can seep or pass through.
Why does frost wedging weathers rocks?
It weathers rocks because the water enters through the cracks and therefore it expands the rocks
What is it called when water shapes the rocks flat?
Erosion.
What is the breaking up of rocks by wind water and ice is called?
This is called weathering
How can weathering and erosion break down rocks?
It is also called denudation. It is bigger things breaking down into smaller things. The top of a mountain breaks down into rocks and falls, breaking the rocks into sand. Sooner or later the mountain will become a hill. Rocks either get water or plants into cracks that are already formed and causes it to breah down into smaller rocks.
A rocks ability to allow water to pass through is called a what?
Permeability/ hydraulic conductivity.
What is a rocks ability to allow water to pass through?

Ability of a material to let water pass through it is?
This ability is called porous (with many holes).
What is the ability of water to spread through fine pores called?
osmosis
Does not let water pass through it?
Water cannot pass through tyvek. Water vapor can however but liquid water cannot. Tyvek is high-density polyethylene fiber and is a synthetic material.
What is soil and rock that allows water to pass through it called?
permeable rocks
What does a porous rock mean?

What can you called the water in underground rocks?
Ground water.
Why is mountain and water fall water always clean?
Because when the water flows through the rocks, the rocks catch all the dirt.
A rock that allows water to flow through it is said to be?
water The answer is actually permeable.
Does weathering and erosion effect rocks on the earth's surface only?
No of course not. Anywhere water has the ability to flow across, along, or through rocks it will erode the rock. If wind blows through an underground cavern it will weather the surface of the rocks it encounters.
What is water in underground rocks called?
This is known as ground water.
