Why does permeable rock break down more quickly than less permeable rock?

Geography

A permeable rock breaks down quicker than a rock that is not so permeable because there is less space for anything (i.e. water) to get in the not so permeable rock in order to widen the holes and ultimately break the rock. On the other hand, a permeable rock is full of holes and will break down because of the many holes available to widen.

DENIUS [597]
The warm air that comes in Vietnam during the rainy season is most likely from the Pacific Ocean. In fact, tropical storms that pass over Vietnam form over the Pacific Ocean when the water warms up. The Pacific Ocean is at its warmest from June to November and the warm air and typhoons move inland over Vietnam.
