Which statement best describes how a wave would move differently through a pot of boiling water than the steam created from it? the wave would move faster through the water than through the steam. the wave would move slower through the water than through the steam. the wave would move the same speed through the water and the steam. the wave would move through the water and steam at the same speed, but decrease in speed at the transition point.

The wave would move faster through the water than through the steam

Explanation:

A mechanical wave is a wave that is transmitted through the oscillations of the particles in a medium. The closer the particles in the medium are, the more efficient the transmission of the wave is (because the collisions between the particles are more frequent), and so the faster the wave.

For this reason, mechanical waves travel faster in liquids (such as water) than in gases (such as the steam): because particles in liquids are closer together than in gases, where they are more spread apart. Therefore, the correct choice is

i would think it's food chain
