With which?
Hi teachers,
There is a sentence that I can't figure out its preposition usage. I think it was used with a relative pronoun (instead of "where").
Here is the sentence:
The research team were astonished by the speed with which fruit flies are able to change direction in mid-flight when faced with a threat.
Where does this with preposition belong to? Is this a prep. using with a relative pronoun as I said before?
Thank you.

Thank you Mister Micawber
By the way, can we use use "where" instead of "with which" here?
