What is an example of a permeable rock?
Sandstone rocks have permeability and so do conglomerates. Shales also have good permeability. Most sedimentary rocks are permeable.
A rock that allows water to flow through it is said to be?
water The answer is actually permeable.
What is soil and rock that allows water to pass through it called?
permeable rocks
What are permeable and impermeable rocks?
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)
Examples of permeable and impermeable rocks?
impermeable rocks are, basalt, granite, and quartzite.... i dont know any permeable
Does a permeable rock let rain pass through it?
Permeable rocks allow for liquid or gases to pass through them. Most rocks are permeable to a certain extent.

Is the Grand Canyon rocks permeable or impermeable?
no
What is permeable rocks containing water?
limestone
Are schist rocks permeable?
yes of course
What rocks cause rapid runoff?
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.

Which rocks absorb watergrainy rocks or crystal rocks?
When water is able to enter rocks, it is because they are permeable. Permeable rocks either have spaces (pores - porous rocks, e.g. sandstone), or paths through their structure (pervious rocks, e.g. limestone). These features can only be found in sedimentary/clastic rocks. Clastic means that it is made up of small particles cemented together, which gives it a grainy texture. Metamorphic and igneous rocks are crystalline, which mades them impermeable because the crystals interlock, blocking a flow of water.
