The speed of sound depends only on the temperature of the gas for an ideal gas. This implies that the ambient pressure on top of a mountain doesn't affect the propagation of sound in air. So the speed of sound should be larger in hot desert air compared to cold air on a mountain top.

Why does sound travel faster in warm?
Because the molecules are less dense and they vibrate faster letting sound travel faster
Will sound travel better on top of the mountain or at the foot of the mountainexplain?
Sound travels faster through denser materials. The density of the air (because of the air pressure) is weaker at the top of the mountain, and as such sound has a harder time travelling.
Could sound travel faster in solids or gasses?
Sound DOES travel faster in solids than in gases. The higher the density of the medium, the faster the sound travels.
Does sound travel faster than sound?
no. sound is sound so how on earth can it be faster than itself? answer that!
Does sound travel faster in some gases?
yes, sound does travel faster in some gases, but it usally dipends on the temperature. it trave l faster in warm air.
Can airplanes travel faster than sound?
NO they can not travel faster than sound in thunder and lightning

What type of air does sound travel faster in?
Sound travels faster in moist air
Does sound travel faster in some gases?
yes, sound does travel faster in some gases, but it usally dipends on the temperature. it trave l faster in warm air.
Does sound travel faster in the air or water?
Sound travels faster in water thanin air.
Does sound travel faster through steel or cloth?
sound travels faster through steel
Do sound waves travel faster threw liquid or solid?
They travel faster through solids
Does sound travel faster through a solid or water?
sound travel faster through soled because of tighter packed particles
Does sound travel faster through maple syrup or sand?
The denser the material the faster sound will travel. Maple syrup is denser then sand.
