When a liquid cannot pass through something for example a table, rock, bottle etc.
add Even when something appears liquid proof (say) it is not necessarily so.
An aluminum frypan for example gets black char on the outside because some of the fats and oils can travel through pores in the metal and become charred on the outside.
And a local idea of casting 30cm hollow fishing floats from aluminum was a failure, because even though they weren't trawled very far beneath the water, they nevertheless filled up after a few immersions.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Is sedimentary rock permeable?
yes
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 fairview rock is least permeable?
Claystone is typically the least permeable fairview rock due to its dense and compact nature. It has very low porosity and minimal interconnected pore spaces, which hinder the flow of fluids through the rock.
What type of barrier is produced by the phospholipids in the cell membrane?
A semi-permeable membrane, permeable to gases and small, non-charged particles.
Are Aquifers rock layers?
Aquifers are permeable layers of rock that have non permeable layers of rock under them so water remains in the permeable layers
What is another name for a waterproof rock?
A rock that is waterproof is non porous or non permeable.
What conclusion would you get from least permeable rock and most permeable rock?
rock type
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.
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 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. Please see the related link for more information.
Is sedimentary rock permeable?
yes
This type of sedimentary rock is permeable?
SANDSTONE
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.
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.
What is a permeable layer of rock the is saturated with water?
An Aquifer.
Is a rock permeable if it stops the flow of water?
Yes.
