The correct answer is: The speed of sound is faster in the water than in the air.  

The speed of sound is different between those two mediums because they have different densities. Since, water is denser than air, more energy is required to generate a wave but once it stars, it travels faster than it would do in air. Sound waves’ travel can be presented by particles that transmit the energy one to another as they bump. The sound speed is lower in the air (than in water) because particles are far apart, so they travel further before they collide.

In most cases, the two major climatic factors affecting the distribution of organisms in terrestrial ecosystems are __________.
sesenic [268]

Answer:

precipitation and temperature

Explanation:

Temperature and water are considered major abiotic factors that affect species distribution in terrestrial ecosystems. The temperature can affect the distribution of terrestrial organisms due to many species maintain a constant internal temperature, while other species maintain a body temperature range that may be very different from the environmental temperature, and therefore they will not be able to carry out their metabolic functions. Hibernation is an adaptation that allows some terrestrial animals to escape temperature fluctuations. Moreover, water is another limiting factor for life, since water is critical for cellular processes. The waxy cuticle is an adaptation that allows terrestrial plants to avoid excessive water loss through transpiration.
