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 rocks cause rapid runoff?
Impermeable rocks cause more rapid run off than permeable rocks. This is because the water can somewhat flow through the permeable rocks, not impermeable ones.
How can a river both cause a chemical and physical weathering?
Water is a major component in weathering process. Its essential for all forms of disintegration either Mechanical/Physical, Biological or Chemical. Water aids in physical weathering through alternating wetting and drying of rocks thereby leading to breaking down of the rock. It helps in chemical weathering through dissolution of chemicals in rocks such as limestone. Water is a cause of both chemical and physical weathering.
What is water that soaks into the ground?
The water that soaks in ground called as ground water .
What are water babies balls made out of?
Rocks
What is a rocks ability to allow water to pass through?
Permeability/ hydraulic conductivity.
A rocks ability to let water pass through it is called its what?
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.
A rocks ability to allow water to pass through is called a what?
Permeability/ hydraulic conductivity.
How does the permeability of soil and rocks affect the flow of groundwater?
Permeability is when water can pass through different types of soil and rocks. Therefore the permeability affects the soil and rocks because if the soil or rock is PERMEABLE then the groundwater can easily flow through it :)
A rock that allows water to flow through it is said to be?
water The answer is actually permeable.
What is an example of a permeable rock?
Sandstone rocks have permeability and so do conglomerates. Shales also have good permeability. Most sedimentary rocks are permeable.
What is a property of water that determines how water will soak through the ground?
Permeability
What is meant by the permeability of soil?
Speed at which water seeps through it.
How easily water can pass through a materail defines its?
permeability
What is a property of soil that determines how water will soak through the?
Permeability
What are methods for determining field permeability?
Permeability is a measure of how fast water will flow through connected openings in soil or rock
How does water moves through the ground?
Porosity and permeability of the rock or soil is how water moves.
