No, being crystallized from liquid magma there are virtually no pore spaces so it has a low porosity and fluids can not flow through it very easily. However granite usually has lage open joints in it (a result of the shrinkage during cooling) and these do allow water to flow.

Is basalt permeable?
There are 2 types of permeability- Porosity and Perviousness Granite and basalt are both pervious Granite has low porosity, but basalt can be both porous or non-porous. It depends on its rate of cooling.
Why did the builders chose granite to build the Mount Rushmore?
Granite is a non-permeable, hard, and very dense igneous rock with an interlocking crystalline structure. The granite site selected also had few fractures and cracks which could lead to mechanical weathering.
Which type of stone will most likely show the greatest amount of weathering?
i think its granite Above answer is wrong! Granite is VERY hard and weathers slowly. SANDSTONE is very soft and permeable and weathers (erodes) very quickly.
Examples of permeable and impermeable rocks?
impermeable rocks are, basalt, granite, and quartzite.... i dont know any permeable
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.
Is a cell membrane permeable impermeable or partially permeable?
Plasma membranes are 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.
Is plant cell will semi permeable or fully permeable?
It is semi permeable [ the cell membrane]
Is a cell wall permeable partially permeable or impermeable?
the cell wall is fully permeable
Is oil permeable?
only solids can be permeable
