1. Objects under water appear 60 percent larger than they do on land. ANS true 2. As you descend ANS Colors appear to fade. Reds and oranges are among the first colors to disappear. At 30 m/99 ft, little color remains other than blues, grays, blacks and whites. All of the above. 3. Because sound travels faster under water ANS It is harder to determine the direction from which a sound is coming. 4. Which of the following is/are true? ANS Water conducts heat away from your body 25 times f...
