True or False
Sound travels slower in water than in air.
False! Sound actually travels much faster in water than in air. In ocean water, sound waves move about 4 times faster than in the air! This is because water is denser, and its molecules are closer together. This makes it easier for sound to bounce between them and spread quickly. That's why sea animals like dolphins and whales can communicate with each other over long distances underwater.
