What p means that the rock can absorb water?
porous
Does igneous rocks absorb water?
igneous rocks do absorb water because of all the pores ,cracks, and holes in them. The holes will absorb the water and the water will get trapped in the rock there for igneous rocks do absorb water.
Are all rocks waterproof?
No, some rock types are porous and will absorb water.
What does it mean if something is in soluble?
It dissolves in water.
How does melting point change as the water content of rocks increases?
The presence of the water in its vapor phase causes the melting point to decrease and the rock to melt and absorb the vapor.

What rock absorb water?
No rocks absorb water.
What do you call ground or rock that can't absorb water?
Impermeable rock
Why porous rocks are not suitable for reservoir construction?
Porous rocks absorb water. Anything that can absorb water would not be good at containing it.
Are all rocks waterproof?
No, some rock types are porous and will absorb water.
Is water in rocks?
Yes. But not every rock has water in it. It depends on where they are, in desert rock wouldn't have water in it because it's too hot. And rocks can absorb water, but very very little...
What does it mean if something is in soluble?
It dissolves in water.
Which rock absorbs water?
It depends on the type of rock, in particular their porosity (which is the proportion of their total volume which is made up of void space) and also the inter-connectivity of the pore spaces (the permeability of the rock). For example the porosity of sandstones can be very variable, anywhere between 5 and 30 % so potentially a 1m3 mass of sandstone with a porosity of 30% may be able to absorb as much as 300 litres of water.
Why does water pass easily through sandy soil?
Sand is small particles of solid rock, that don't have the ability to absorb moisture. The water runs right through it.
How does melting point change as the water content of rocks increases?
The presence of the water in its vapor phase causes the melting point to decrease and the rock to melt and absorb the vapor.
How does the abrasion of rock fragments in moving water affect the?
the rock has pigment. when rock abrasion occurs in water, the rock affects it because the pigment gets worn away so that means that the water gts somewhat polluted or dirty.
