I understand that sound travels different speeds at different altitudes,
so I'm assuming it does at different water depths. What is that speed at
let's say one hundred feet? Is there a sound barrier underwater and can
it be exceeded? Are the effects the same as in the atmosphere, since both
are fluids?
