Question

Which of the following is the most likely to occur if the temperature of seawater decreases?

A. The speed of sound will decrease due to the decreasing salinity of seawater.
B. The speed of sound will increase due to the increasing density of seawater.
C. The speed of sound will decrease due to the increasing density of seawater.
D. The speed of sound will increase due to the decreasing density of seawater.

Answer 1

C. The speed of sound will decrease due to the increasing density of seawater. Most likely to occur if the temperature of seawater decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Most likely to occur if the temperature of seawater decreases.

Answer 2

B- The speed of sound will increase due to the increasing density of seawater.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the temperature of seawater decreases its density increases, but only to a point
