How do impermeable surfaces affect infiltration?
A rock that has high porosity is not permeable if the pores or fractures are not connected. The larger and better shorted the particles are, the more permeable the rock or sediment tends to be. Because of this characteristic composition, clay is essentially impermeable, which means that water cannot flow through it.
Which term describes a material that is full of tiny connected air spaces?
a rock that is full of tiny, connected air spaces is PERMEABLE
What is the main thing rocks are identified by?
Rocks and Minerals can be identified and distinguished by their distinctive texture, structure, and chemistry.
What type of fossil fuel is in the form of a soft rock and easily burns?
coal
What gas is a major cause of chemical weathering?
I believe you're referring to sulfuric acid, which is in acid rain.
Rocks that is permeable weathers easily because it is?
Rocks that are permeable can easily absorb water, which can cause them to weather more easily through processes like freezing and thawing, or chemical reactions with the water. This can lead to the breakdown of the rock material and cause it to deteriorate faster compared to impermeable rocks.
Does groundwater stop moving downward when it meets a preamble rock?
idk... i need to know too. someone please help. my guess is no.... because permeable rock is rock that can be easily passed through.
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 soil and rock that allows water to pass through it called?
Permeable soil and rock that allows water to pass through it easily is called "porous" or "permeable" media. This type of material typically has open spaces or pores that enable water to flow through it.
What layers are permeable loose soil sand gravel hard clay solid rock?
Permeable layers from most to least permeable: loose soil, sand, gravel, hard clay, solid rock. This means that water and other substances can more easily pass through loose soil and sand compared to clay or solid rock.
How weathers chemically weathers rock?
Oxygen in the air and acids.
Rock that is what weathers easily because it is full of tiny air spaces?
The type of rock that weathers easily due to its numerous tiny air spaces is called porous rock. Examples include sandstone and pumice, which have high porosity, allowing water and air to penetrate easily. This characteristic makes them more susceptible to weathering processes, such as freeze-thaw cycles and chemical erosion. As a result, porous rocks can break down more rapidly compared to denser, less porous rocks.
What type of rock weathers the fastest?
Sedimentary rock weathers the fastest and easiest
Do the minerals that make up a rock determine how fast it weathers?
Yes, the minerals that make upa rock partially determine how fast it weathers. But while there is some truth in this statement, the answer has to be false because the environment the rock surface is exposed to also determines how fast it weathers.
What rock weathers very slowly?
Granite weathers very slowly due to its high resistance to weathering processes. This is because granite is a hard, durable rock with a low susceptibility to chemical reactions and physical breakdown.
Is granite permable?
No, granite is not considered permeable as it is a dense and non-porous rock. Water and other liquids cannot easily pass through its surface.
What conclusion would you get from least permeable rock and most permeable rock?
rock type
