How does the velocity of sound in sea water compare to that in air? A. The velocity of sound is greater in sea water for to the closer proximity and lower density of molecules in sea water b. The velocity of sound is reduced in sea water because the molecules in sea water are more closely packed and less dense c. Velocity of sound is greater in sea water because the molecules in sea water are more closely packed and denser d. Velocity of sound is reduced in sea water because the molecules in sea water are more closely arranged and denser

c. Velocity of sound is greater in sea water because the molecules in sea water are more closely packed and denser.
