How can water travel through rock?
For water to flow through a rock, there must be gaps between the mineral grains or clasts in a sedimentary rock. These are known as pore spaces and rocks with these pore spaces are known as porous. As such the word porosity is used to describe the ratio between the pore spaces and the total volume of the rock. For water to be able to travel through the rock, these pore spaces must be interconnected. Rocks (or any other material) through which fluids can flow are known as permeable.
Put these in order as to how fast sound travels through them- air space water rock?

Materials that only partially allow light pass through blurring the light as it passes?
Shade cloth Answer: Assuming we are talking about substances, not sewing materials, there are several different kinds: Transparent materials allow light and images to pass through. Example: water, glass Partially transparent materials allow some light and images to pass through.Example: colored water, sunglasses Translucent materials allow light, but not images, to pass through. Example: white lamp globe, rice paper Partially translucent materials allow some light, but not images, to pass through. Example: colored lampshade, colored tissue paper Opaque materials absorb or reflect light. Example: book, rock, wood Specular materials reflect light and images. Example: Mirror, Garden gazing ball
