Sandstone rocks have permeability and so do conglomerates. Shales also have good permeability. Most sedimentary rocks are permeable.

What does it mean if a rock is permeable?
It means that substances can pass through it - typically we'd be talking about water. So you don't want to use permeable rock to build a wall that faces the ocean, for example.
What is a rock that is permeable?
Limestone and Chalk.
What is soil and rock that allows water to pass through it called?
permeable rocks
Why does permeable rock break down more quickly than not permeable rock?
PERMEABLE means:that a material is full of tiny, connected air spaces that allow water to seep through it. The spaces increase the suface area of the rock. ANSWER:because since water goes through the air pockets it erodes the rock quicker than less permeable rock because it has less air pockets.
What is true about a permeable rock?
It's not waterproof.
What conclusion would you get from least permeable rock and most permeable rock?
rock type
Are Aquifers rock layers?
Aquifers are permeable layers of rock that have non permeable layers of rock under them so water remains in the permeable layers
