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.

∙ 14y agoSpelled correctly... it is non-permeable. A membrane is a barrier separating two environments. If a membrane is non-permeable, it is respective of the chemical composition of the membrane itself and/or the mechanism of transfer. In other words, it is a barrier for which an object has no means of crossing, except with the aid of a transport mechanism.

What will happen if a partially permiable membrane is replaced with a non permiable membrane?
If the semi-permeable membrane will change into non-permeable membrane, the items could not enter the cell. Also the osmosis will not occur as it takes place in semi-permeable membrane.
Is it true that groundwater moves through permeable rock?

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.

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.
This type of sedimentary rock is permeable?
