The density differences in the ocean water are due to different salt concentration and differences in temperature. B) temperature
Sound at 70 dB is 70 dB louder than the human reference level. That's 10⁷ times as much as the reference sound power.
Sound at 73 dB is 73 dB louder than the human reference level. That's 10⁷.³ or 2 x 10⁷ times as much as the reference sound power.
Sound at 80 dB is 80 dB louder than the human reference level. That's 10⁸ or 10 x 10⁷ times as much as the reference sound power.
Now we can adumup:
Intensity of all 3 sources = (10⁷) + (2 x 10⁷) + (10 x 10⁷)
Intensity = (13 x 10⁷) times the sound power reference intensity.
Intensity in dB = 10 log (13 x 10⁷) = 10 (7 + log(13)
Intensity = 70 + 10 log(13)
Intensity = 70 + 10 (1.114)
Intensity = 70 + 11.14
Intensity = <em>81.14 dB</em>

Looking at the questioner's profile, I seriously wonder whether I'll ever get a comment in return from this creature, and how I'll ever find out if my solution is correct. For that matter, I'm also seriously questioning how and whether my solution will ever be used for anything.
-- Use the formula D=(1/2)·(g)·(t²) to calculate how long
it takes the flower pot to fall to the ground.
1.5 m = (1/2) · (9.8 m/s²) · (t²)
t² = (1.5 m) / (4.9 m/s²)
t = 0.554 second
-- Use the formula Distance = (speed)·(time) to calculate
how far the pot traveled horizontally in that amount of time.
Distance = (8 m/s) · (0.554 sec)
Distance horizontally = 4.43 meters
