An industrial explosion at a coastal facility produces a sound loud enough to be detected by sensors 150 km away.
Which statement about the sound waves produced by this explosion is not correct?
A researcher in a fully submerged submarine nearby would not hear the sound because sound waves cannot travel through liquids such as water.
Stations located 150 km150\text{ km}150 km away detected the sound later than stations located 15 km15\text{ km}15 km away.
As the sound waves spread outwards, their amplitude decreased and the sound became quieter.
The sound waves transferred energy through the longitudinal vibrations of air molecules.
