Why is water able to soak into the ground and collect as groundwater?
Pore spaces and other gaps in rocks allow water to pass through
What is a layer of rock that allows water to flow through called?
Aquifers are layers of rock that hold a lot of water and allow it to circulate.
What is a name of a rock that does not allow water to pass through?
the type of rock is called a rock that does not allow water to go through it
What is the movement of surface water into rocks or soil through cracks or pore spaces?
Infiltration is the movement of surface water into rocks or soil through cracks or pore spaces.
What are soils that allow water to pass through them faster?
Loose or sandy soils allow water to percolate(pass) through them faster
A rocks ability to allow water to pass through is called a what?
Permeability/ hydraulic conductivity.
What is a layer of rock that allow water to flow through?
A porous and permeable rock will allow water to pass through. Rocks layers that allow the flow of water may be described as an aquifer.
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.

What is the name of the rocks that allow water trough?
Permeable or porous rocks
What is a layer of rock that allows water to flow through called?
Aquifers are layers of rock that hold a lot of water and allow it to circulate.
What is con duction?
conduction is the ability of something to allow something else to pass through it. eg. a metal rod conducts heat water through a pipe electricity through a wire
Can a rock have small spaces but not allow water to flow through?
Yes, it can have porosity, or pore spaces, but may not have permeability, or the ability for a fluid to flow through connected pore spaces.
What does a porous rock mean?
porous rocks are rocks through which water etc. can seep or pass through.
What is the difference between pervious and impervious rocks in geology?
An impervious rock is one that does not allow water to flow through it. It has no air spaces and has no way of storing water at all.
What does permeable mean?
It means that substances like gases and water can pass through something.not being able to get through
Why is mountain and water fall water always clean?
Because when the water flows through the rocks, the rocks catch all the dirt.
