Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The speed of sound has a direct correlation with temperature and pressure. Sound travels faster in
warm surface waters than in deeper, cold waters. After the sound reaches a minimum level, the speed
of sound begins to increase again. Information can be found in the section Sound Travels Much
Farther Than Light through the Ocean



Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
These shadow zones are areas have very little sound energy penetration. They are used by submariners
and the ships that are hunting them. Information can be found in the section Sound Travels Much
Farther Than Light through the Ocean.
