permeable
Impermeable means water can't get through it. For example, clay is impermeable substance (because water can't seep through it), but chalk is permeable (because water can drip through it slowly) Sometimes it also applies to places which you can't get into, for example, an 'impermeable fortress' would be difficult to get into.
Impermeable rocks cause more rapid run off than permeable rocks. This is because the water can somewhat flow through the permeable rocks, not impermeable ones.
A rock that has high porosity is not permeable if the pores or fractures are not connected. The larger and better shorted the particles are, the more permeable the rock or sediment tends to be. Because of this characteristic composition, clay is essentially impermeable, which means that water cannot flow through it.
If a membrane is permeable to a substance, it means that there are gaps/holes/pores in the membrane large enough for that substance to pass through. Starch molecules are bigger that sugar molecules. So if the membrane is not permeable to sugars, the gaps/holes/pores will not be big enough for starch molecules to pass through either.
I don't know but in Spanish it means raincoat.In English impermeable means not permeable, that is it will not allow things to get through it. A raincoat, as in Spanish, would not allow rain through.An aluminum frypan however, is not impermeable to fat molecules, and that is why the outside of an al frypan will char.
semi permeable lets some substances through and impermeable lets no substances 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.
permeable or impermeable
Permeability is a measure of how well a porous media transmits a fluid. It has nothing to do with the fluid itself. It is measure in (length)2. The Hydraulic Conductivity is a measure of how easily water moves through the porous media. It depends on the permeability of the matrix, but also is a function of the fluid. It is a measure of (length)/(time)
An impermeable layer is a layer which doesn't allow any substance to pass through it.
impermeable rocks are, basalt, granite, and quartzite.... i dont know any permeable
Impermeable rocks cause more rapid run off than permeable rocks. This is because the water can somewhat flow through the permeable rocks, not impermeable ones.
Impermiable rock means nothing can go through it
this is because it is a hard substance
