Answer:

At different times

Step-by-step explanation:

The echo returns at different times, but faster in water. This is because water particles are bound closer and this makes them transmit vibration energy from one particle to the next quickly. An echo is a sound wave and sound waves are longitudinal waves that occur by the collision of particles to move the vibrations along, and this is why they move slower in air.
