The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. A 3 column by 4 row table. Column 1 is titled Medium and includes the following entries: Ice, Water, Steam. Column 2 is titled Temperature (degrees Celsius) and includes the following entries: 0, 25, 100. Column 3 is titled Speed of Sound (meters per second) and includes the following entries: 3200 meters per second, 1500 meters per second, 346 meters per second. What best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter? Sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to transfer when the molecules are close together. Sound travels slowest in steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart. Sound travels fastest in ice because the temperature of solids is always greater, so the heat transfers the sound energy. Sound travels slowest in steam because the pressure is so great the sound cannot travel though the steam particles.

Which of the following two events occur to create a sea breeze? select all that apply. warm air rises on the ocean and moves toward the land to cool warm air rises on land and moves toward the ocean to cool cool air moves from the ocean to be warmed by the land cool air moves from the land to be warmed by the ocean

In what environment would mineral formation caused by high pressures and high temperatures most likely occur?

What is the relationship between wind and ocean waves? question 17 options: wind moving at higher speeds will transfer more energy to the water, resulting in stronger waves. wind moving at higher speeds will transfer energy over a larger part of the ocean water, resulting in waves with a shorter wavelength. winds moving at higher speeds with cause water to move forward at faster rates, causing larger ocean waves. winds moving at higher speeds will affect deeper water, resulting in waves that move at a faster rate. how do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents? question 15 options: as temperatures and salinity levels of water increase, the water rises to the surface where it creates currents as it moves to colder regions. they create changes in wind direction, moving denser water in the same direction as the wind and causing the deepwater circulation patterns found in the ocean. they equalize the forces on undersea currents caused by the coriolis effect as they replace more dense water with less dense water. they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.
