If by "land lines" you mean electrical wires, cables, or optical fibers, then sound doesn't travel
through these. They're used to carry electric currents or light beams from place to place, which
are continuously being changed in pre-arranged ways, to carry information that make it possible
to construct a copy of the sound at the receiving end.

How fast does sound travel through land?
it travels at 250-275mph
How does the speed of sound compare with its speed through liquids and solids?
When sound waves go through liquids, they travel five times as faster than they do on land. When sound waves go through solids though, they don't go as fast.
Where does sound travel faster in water or land?
water
Why do astronauts who land on moon talk through wireless sets using radio waves?
Sound needs air to travel through, and as there's no air on the moon. Astronauts have to use radios to talk to each other when in an envrionment without air. Radio waves travel through space and have no trouble traveling where there's no air.
Does sound travel faster and clearer on land or water?
On water because on land there are trees and other plants and buildings to block the sound but on water there are no buildings trees and plants on the surface! Hope this helped :)That does not have much to do with it. sound travels through denser gas or liquid faster. "In common everyday speech, speed of sound refers to the speed of sound waves in air. However, the speed of sound varies from substance to substance. Sound travels faster in liquids and non-porous solids than it does in air. It travels about 4.3 times faster in water (1,484 m/s), and nearly 15 times as fast in iron (5,120 m/s), than in air at 20 degrees Celsius".Air at sea level is about 800 times less dense than saltwater. additionally sound waves that travel through the air and waves that travel through dense liquids and solids are different
Do tornadoes travel through water?
They can, but most tornadoes happen on land.
Did Thomas Mitchell seek permission to travel through the Aborigines' land?
No. The early European explorers of Australia did not see the need to seek permission to travel through the indigenous people's land. They had no concept that the Aborigines were the original custodians of the land. Mitchell was one of the worst, in that everything he did indicated he was out to conquer the land. Although Mitchell did respect the skills of the Aborigines, he did not respect their "ownership" or believe he needed permission to travel through their land.
Did Abraham Lincoln travel through a wild country to survey land?
yes
If a sea plane lands in water does a person in the water hear it first or a person on land?
It depends. Imagine the sound is that of the pontoons slapping the water, and the person on land and the person in the water are equidistant. In that case, the person in the water would hear the sound first (albeit more muffled) because water is a denser medium than air, and thus sound waves (vibrations) travel faster through it.
What is the distance in kilometer between manila and sorsogon through land travel?
524 km
Are land mines detonated through a timer?
No they are detonated by sensing the sound and movement above them.
What is the Treaty that gave the US safe travel through Indian land?
The US signed the Ruby Valley Treaty of 1863 so the white man could travel through Western Shoshone land in Nevada. The treaty was also known as the Treaty of Peace and Freindship.
