What layer is permeable?

A fully permeable layer is a layer that allows all substances to pass through. A partially permeable membrane is a membrane that only allows some substances to infiltrate.


How do permeable and impermeable rock layers contribute to the formation of a spring?

The water sinks through the ground through permeable rock and is concentrating when it arrives to impermeable rock. When due to erosion the impermeable rock carrying water is exposed, the water appears as a spring.


What is formed when groundwater pool between a permeable layer and an impermeable layer?

What is a layer of permeable rock that allows water to flow freely?

An aquifer is a layer of permeable rock that allows water to flow freely. It acts as a natural underground reservoir that stores and transmits groundwater. Aquifers are important sources of freshwater for wells and springs.


Is an aquifer a permeable rock layer filled with water?

Yes, an aquifer is a permeable rock layer that can hold and transmit water underground. It typically consists of materials such as sand, gravel, or rock that can store and allow the flow of water through them.


How is the cell membrane involved in regulating osmosis?

It is semi-permeable to water, in which water can pass it through the double lipid layer or through proteins crossing the double layer of the cell membrane.


Word describing layer of rock that transmits water freely?

This would be an aquifer. The rock itself would be described as being permeable or having a high hydraulic conductivity.


What is it when Water within a porous and permeable sedimentary rock layer that is bounded only below by a non-permeable sedimentary rock layer is called?

The permeable rock bearing the groundwater is an aquifer. If the impermeable rock layer at it's base (known as an aquiclude) is of limited lateral extent such that the groundwater level away from this area is much lower, then it may be known as a perched water table.
