Some rocks are softer and more sedimentary than others. This allows water to weather them faster, thus causing higher permeability.

Is it true that Inside rock is space and you jusrt cant precieve it?
Yes. Some rocks have more space than others.
Why do some rocks crumble and others not?
because it feels like
How can rock be nonporous but permeable?
permeable means having pores or openings that permit liquids or gases to pass through permeable means having pores or openings that permit liquids or gases to pass through, so if rocks and soil are porous, they are permeable.
Why is coastal erosion more rapid in some areas than others?
The weaker rocks are eroded more quickly, forming bays, while the harder rocks form headlands. Softer rocks can be eroded at rates of over 2 metres a year, harder rocks can be eroded at rates as little as 0.001 metres a year. As headlands stick out into the sea, they are more easily attacked by wind and waves.
Do all rocks weather the same way?
Erosion rates depend on the composition of the rocks and how they are attacked by the environment.Different kinds of rocks have different composition and will erode at different rates.Rocks in different places will be affected differently by wind, water, ice, rain, pollutants, etc. and so they will erode at different rates.
The plasma membrane is a semipermeable membrane. This means that it is?
it is permeable to some molecules and not permeable to others.
What is a membrane that allows some substances to pass through but excludes others?
A membrane that lets some substances pass through but not others is known as a semipermeable membrane. Other terms that describe this type of membrane are: selectively permeable, partially permeable, or differentially permeable.
What is a selectively permeable memberane?
A selectively permeable membrane means that it lets some molecules through but others can't get in.
Why are some rocks more reactive than others?
Some rocks are more reactive than others due to differences in their mineral composition. Rocks that contain minerals that are chemically unstable or have a greater tendency to react with other substances will be more reactive. Additionally, the presence of certain elements or ions in the rock can also make it more prone to chemical reactions.
What does a selectively permeable membrane do?
A selectively permeable membrane allows some substances through it and does not allow others.Allows certain substances to pass but not others
A membrane that allows some substances to pass through while excluding others would be called a?
semipermeable or selectively permeable.
Is cell wall is a permeable membrane?
it is not selective permeable. - Cell membranes are selective permeable. Cell walls are fully permeable - which means that it allows all substances/molecules to pass in and out of the cell. It is located outside of the membrane.
When some molecules go through a membrane faster than others the membrane is what?
selectively permeable
Does it mean that biological membranes are selectively permeable?
means they allow some things to cross, but not others.
What kind of membrane is where some substance can pass through and others can't?
semi-permeable membraneHope it helped :)
When some substances can pass across them but others cannot?
membrane
What are non-pourous rocks?
These are rocks that are highly compacted, having little or no pore spaces within their grains. They do not readily allow the passage of water through them.
