Can elephants talk to each other by making sounds called tummy rumbles?
Elephants have a wide variety of noises, including trumpeting with their trunks, but also make low rumbling sounds with their vocal cords (not their "tummy") that are subsonic and can travel for miles through the ground (they're seismic"). The sounds can be heard by other, distant, elephants through their feet and trunks. These low frequency noises are called 'infrasound'.

How do elephant use their feet and trunks to detect sound made by other elephants upto 10km away?
Elephants use infrasonic waves because that way they can be heard miles away for multiple reasons. Some reasons such as a female telling guys that she is ready to mate, or to ask other elephants hows it going. I think we as humans will never really know what elephants say. But I hoped I helped.

No. Elephants breathe air. They might swim underwater and use their trunks like snorkels to breathe air, but, that is the exception to the rule. Most elephants stay on land and never go more than a few feet into the water.
Can sound pass through rocks?
Sound is a vibration that passes through matter. Sound is capable of traveling through virtually any type of matter, although some types allow sound to travel further or faster. Rock, however, allows sound to travel much more quickly than air does. In fact, elephants communicate with each other from miles away by sending very low pitch rumbling sounds through their feet and into the ground, and then, using their feet, they can detect sounds coming from other elephants.

How does African elephant communicate?
African elephants communicate through sounds and body language. Sounds include sounds that we can hear, such as the famous trumpeting sound, which is usually a response to a surprising stimulus. Sounds also include a lot of very low pitch rumblings, which pass through their feet and then travel for many miles through the ground, where other elephants can sense the sounds. That's a means of long distance communication.
