<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D.) The speed decreases because at cooler temperatures the water has less mechanical energy.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Sound travels about 1500 meters per second in seawater. The speed of sound in sea water varies depending on factors such as water depth, place to place, morning to evening, etc.
  • The change in the speed sound is associated to the variables in the ocean such as temperature, salinity and the pressure.
  • <em><u>The temperature of ocean water decreases with depth, so as the depth increases the water gets cooler. And since the speed of sound in water increases with increase in water temperature, then an increase in depth would mean a decrease in the speed of the sound.</u></em>

Which statement best describes a keystone species
professor190 [17]

The answer is D

One way to remember this is when you are building a bridge there is one piece right in the middle that keeps the whole thing from collapsing that is called the key-stone. If a keystone species goes extinct then the rest of the ecosystem will crumble around it.

How is the movement of matter through the biosphere different from the flow of energy?
strojnjashka [21]
The flow of energy moves through living organisms via the food chain. A food chain is a diagram which shows how every living thing gets energy to live. Plants use the sun, nutrients in the soil and water to generate energy. Herbivores eat the plants to generate energy to survive. Carnivores eat the herbivores to generate energy. 
<span>Matter moves through the biosphere by being cycled through various organic and inorganic stages. They are neither created nor destroyed. The biosphere is known as a closed system so no elements can escape. They are continually being recycled. </span>
