As a general rule, igneous rocks are impermeable. Metamorphic rocks may also be impermeable, but this will depend on the mineralogy and level of metamorphism. These rocks are impermeable because they have crystals which interlock, forming a watertight structure. This is the rule, but there are exceptions. Sedimentary rocks tend to be permeable or porous, and many will even dissolve, or their cement will dissolve in water. This is because of their often clastic structure which has some holes in it.
Some common impermeable rocks include granite, basalt, and shale. Impermeable rocks have low porosity and do not allow fluids to pass through them easily, making them useful for constructing barriers in engineering applications such as dams or landfills.

Are the rocks permable or impermable?
I believe that permiable rock allows substances like water pass through the pores of the rock, however impermeable dosent make it pass through. That is not fair why would we be able to edit this if we want to find the answer anybody like me saying this can edit this.😋😋
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
Are rocks made out of matter that was never living?
Some rocks are made of matter that was never living (e.g. meteoric rocks, igneous rocks, moon rocks) and some rocks are made of matter that was once part of living things (e.g. limestone rocks, marble rocks, iron ore rocks) and some rocks might be a mixture of matter that was never living and matter that was once part of living things (e.g. sandstone rocks, mudstone rocks, shale rocks, slate rocks).
What are the similarities between sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks?
They are both rocks
Are sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks chemical sedimentary rocks?
No, sedimentary rocks formed from fragments of other rocks are called clastic sedimentary rocks. Chemical sedimentary rocks form from minerals that are dissolved in water and precipitate out to form rocks like limestone or halite.
Where underground does crude oil collect?
oil and gas rise up through permable rocks and become trapped under impermable rocks. they are then extracted by drilling.

How and why does the water in a river fluctuate?
A river fluctuates by different things such as weather, relief, rock type, water cycle, deforestation, urbanization. The water cycle plays apart by evaporation and transpiration so water rises into the atmosphere and is realised in pores of vegetation. Also because of infiltration where water is taken in by soil and permable rocks ( permable rock are rocks that water can get through while impermable is the opposite) and is taken down further and is now ground water! Rock type because as i just said permable = less water in rivers impermable = more water in rivers urbanisation = drains and impermable surface aka concrete mean water gets to the river quicker. Previous weather also affects it ,if it was dry there is less water if its a wet day more water. Hope this has helped :) remember these are only some on the ways a river fluctuates. (If some people dont no what fluctuates mean its just when water in a river rises and lowers again.)

What are the groups of rocks?
They are Sedimentary rocks, Igneous rocks, and Metamorphic rocks.
What are rocks in the sea called?
Rocks in the sea are typically referred to as sea rocks or underwater rocks. They can also be called submerged rocks or marine rocks.
What rocks are formed when existing rocks are changed into new rocks?
metamorphic rocks.
Rocks formed from weathered debris from preexisisting rocks are called?
They are called clastic sedimentary rocks.
Are plutonic rocks igneous rocks that hardened on top of volcanoes?
No. Plutonic rocks are igneous rocks that hardened underground. Rocks that form on volcanoes are volcanic rocks.
What types of rocks are found in volcanoes?
igneous rocks,sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks.
