Sound travels through liquid the same way it travels through air. It sets up pressure waves that travel through the water, just like they do in air. One big difference is that the speed of sound in water is much faster than in air, but the philosophy is the same.

The same way as it travels through a gas or a solid. Sound waves are just vibrations travelling through a medium (solid; liquid; gas) and liquids such as water are just as good (actually better in this case) candidates for it as is air. This is also of course the reason there's no sound in space - there's no medium for the sound to exist as (after all - sound is a property of a medium).

Sound travels through liquids like it travels through air. It is propageted by the collision of particles.
