What usually happens to the amplitude of the vibration of a circular water wave as it spreads out?
You would expect the Amplitude to DECREASE as the wave spreads out.
A sound wave moves from a medium where particles of matter are closely packed to a medium where particles of matter are further apart How do you expect the sound wave to travel differently?
