Grainy rocks not only absorbs water better than crystal rocks, but it filters the water as well.
What else can I help you with?
Name a rock that absorbs water?
Sandstone is a type of rock that can absorb and retain water within its pores and crevices.
What is the name given to a change which the calcium chloride crystal has undergone?
The change a calcium chloride crystal undergoes when it absorbs water from the air is called deliquescence. This process causes the crystal to dissolve and form a solution as it absorbs moisture.
Is type of weathering where rock is broken down as it absorbs water?
Hydration
What makes igneous rocks have different Crystal sizes?
The cooling rate of magma/lava determines the crystal size in igneous rocks. Fast cooling results in small crystals or glassy texture (e.g., obsidian), while slow cooling leads to large crystals (e.g., granite). Factors like depth of magma intrusion, presence of water, and pressure can also influence crystal size.
Surface water becomes groundwater when it?
infiltrates into the ground and percolates through the soil and rocks until it reaches a level where the spaces between particles in the soil or rock are completely filled with water. This water then becomes part of the groundwater system.

What more likely to have fossils grainy rocks or crystal rocks?
I am pretty sure grainy rocks because they are more common than crystals. They are more likely to contain sea creature fossils. They are likely to have sea creature fossils in them because the land we stand on now, was once covered in water.
Which rocks absorb water grainy rocks crystal rock?
when water is absorbed by rocks, and freezes, it will expand. therefore the rock will crack. Their bulk density increases (as the mass of the water contributes to the total mass of the rock) and the effective stress within the rock will decrease. This can ultimately cause the rock to fail without any increase in imposed loading.
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.
What is the name given to a change which the calcium chloride crystal has undergone?
The change a calcium chloride crystal undergoes when it absorbs water from the air is called deliquescence. This process causes the crystal to dissolve and form a solution as it absorbs moisture.
Why one must be careful in making fudge to prevent it from getting grainy?
less than a drop of water in the chocolate to be grainy.
What are examples of protists?
fungi like molds, such as slime mold, or possibly water mold.
Is smooth shiny rock or dull grainy looking rock more liking to let water pass through it?
The Dull and grainy looking rock is more likely to let water pass though
Is limestone pervious?
Lime stone is a porous rock as it absorbs water.
Is smooth shiny rock or dull grainy looking rock more likely to let water pass through it?
A dull grainy looking rock is more likely to let water pass through it compared to a smooth shiny rock. The rough texture of the grainy rock provides more surface area for water to seep into and flow through, while the smooth rock may have a more compact structure that prevents easy passage of water.
Is type of weathering where rock is broken down as it absorbs water?
Hydration
The change from grainy firn to steel-blue ice is caused by?
The change from grainy firn to steel-blue ice is caused by the compaction of firn layers under the weight of overlying snow, which forces out air and results in denser ice formation. This process eliminates air bubbles, allowing light to penetrate deeper into the ice and giving it a blue color due to ice crystal refraction.
