Water can flow into cracks in the rock, then freeze, expand, and crack the rock. This is part of the erosion process.
Water contained in pores of soil or rock is groundwater..
It is used as a soil conditioner to help retain water.
Rain mixes and can pulverize particles of soil.when rain water fall on the rock then it break the rock into smaller pieces.
The most powerful geologic forces are air and water; they change mountain ranges into soil and silt.
the answer to this question is that Soil with smaller particles can hold more water when Soil with larger rock particles can hold less water.....
Such soil or rock is 'impervious'.
Groundwater is water that is stored in layers of soil and rock beneath Earth's surface. It fills the spaces between particles of rock and soil and can be accessed by wells or springs.
Soil needs water. Good soil is composed of 25% of water.

Water gets into cracks in the rocks. When the water freezes into ice it expands. This can crack rock. When this happens repeatedly the rocks break into increasingly smaller particles until they are soil. .
rock doesn't contains expansive soil. Expansive soils are soils that expand when water is added, and shrink when they dry out. This continuous change in soil volume can cause homes built on this soil to move unevenly and crack.
