Impervious rocks.
Non-porous rocks are solid materials that do not allow water or other fluids to pass through them due to the absence of interconnected pore spaces. This lack of porosity prevents the storage or movement of fluids within the rock, making them impermeable. Examples of non-porous rocks include granite, basalt, and marble.
Yes. It will depend on the type of rock. For a porous rock,such as sandstone or shale, the water can be within the rocks. For non-porous rocks it will be stored between the rocks.
There are two types porous and non porous. You can also seel porous concrete to make it non porous.

Two types of non-porous rocks are quartzite and marble. Quartzite is a hard, non-foliated rock composed of quartz grains, while marble is a metamorphic rock primarily made up of calcite or dolomite crystals. Both rocks have low porosity, meaning they do not absorb water easily.

Non-porous rocks are rocks that do not have interconnected pores or spaces that allow liquids or gases to pass through them. Some examples of non-porous rocks include granite, marble, and quartzite. These rocks are typically resistant to water and other fluids penetrating their surface.
Yes. Since metamorphic rocks are rocks that have been changed through intense heat and pressure, they have been compacted and are more dense. For example, a conglomerate is a sedimentary rock comprised of large grains of gravel that have been cemented together, and can be porous. When a conglomerate undergoes massive heat and pressure, it is metamorphosed into a metaconglomerate, which is more dense and not at all porous.
Igneous rocks range from the highly porous pumice to the nearly non-porous granite. In some explosive eruptions of felsic magma, as is the case with pumice, the frothy mixture of rock and gas cools so rapidly that open vesicles are preserved, making it very lightweight and porous. With granite, the intrusive igneous rock has had a long time to cool underground, and with its interlocking crystalline structure, it has an extremely low porosity.
Nylon is generally considered a non-porous material. It is a synthetic polymer that does not have pores or openings that allow liquids or gases to pass through easily. However, its structure can allow for some degree of moisture absorption, but this does not classify it as porous in the traditional sense. Overall, nylon is primarily non-porous and resistant to water and other substances.
Porous means, containing pores ie, small or tiny hole, while non-porous means, without pores or holes.
Silver is non-porous, meaning it does not have pores or openings that allow liquids or gases to pass through. This characteristic makes silver a popular choice for jewelry and other metalwork due to its durability and resistance to tarnishing.
