It stops the flow of water, which can be useful so it can be collected, and also, u searched that up from the mgs geography revision sheet right. Thats why i searched it too, lol
If the layer of impermeable rock is below the water table, then the water table is likely above the impermeable rock and the groundwater will be trapped above it. If the impermeable rock is above the water table, then the water table is likely below the impermeable rock layer and the groundwater will not be able to pass through it.
Impermeable. The pores in solid rock are too small for water to flow through.
The water sinks through the ground through permeable rock and is concentrating when it arrives to impermeable rock. When due to erosion the impermeable rock carrying water is exposed, the water appears as a spring.
An impermeable rock that does not allow water to pass through is called a impermeable rock, such as shale or clay. These rocks have very low porosity and permeability, preventing water from flowing through them.
Impermeable rock has a very low porosity and lacks interconnected pore spaces that allow water to flow through. As a result, water cannot penetrate through impermeable rock, making it water-resistant.
A rock that will not let water run through it is an impermeable rock
the impermeable layer
impermeable.
Impermeable soil or rock that cannot absorb water is called "non-porous" or "impervious." This type of ground can lead to surface runoff and drainage issues.
No! It's called artesian if it IS under an impermeable layer, but just surface or ground water without it.
Well, darling, the type of rock that doesn't let water play the passing game is called impermeable rock. It's like the bouncer at the club, only letting VIP water molecules through. So, if you're looking for a dry spot to chill, impermeable rock is your best bet.
