Why does the speed of a sound wave increase as it moves into deep water?

1 answer:

5 0

Water temperature and pressure determine how far sound travels in the ocean. ... The whale produces sound waves that move like ripples in the water. As the whale's sound waves travel through the water, their speed decreases with increasing depth (as the temperature drops), causing the sound waves to refract downward.
