What is the difference between permeable and impermeable layers in the soil?

Question

Permeable layers contain water, while impermeable layers store air.

Permeable layers allow water to pass through, while impermeable layers do not.

Permeable layers trap water, while impermeable layers filter water.

Permeable layers absorb water, while impermeable layers evaporate water.

Answer 1

The correct statement is:

Permeable layers allow water to pass through, while impermeable layers do not.

Permeable layers of soil or rock have interconnected spaces that enable water and other fluids to flow through them, while impermeable layers are dense and do not allow water to pass, effectively blocking its movement.
