Explanation:

The speed of sound in seawater is very fast related to that in the air almost five times faster. In fact, sound travels even quicker in seawater than in freshwater. Nevertheless, the speed of sound in seawater. In water, the particles are much tighter together, and they can quickly transfer vibration energy from one particle to the next.
