I don't understand the difference between "impervious" and "impenetrable". Could you cite a few examples?

Impervious to in this sentence means not affected by/not sensitive to and is used in a figurative sense in a passive way. Impenetrable means that you cannot penetrate it such as very thick rock/stone and is therefore used in an active way.
