How can ocean dwelling animals communicate so well underwater over long distances?
Surprisingly enough water is an excellent conducter of sound. In fact some sounds of a certain pitch actually travel farther and faster in water than they do in the air.

How do manatees stay under water longer than the average land dwelling animal?
more predisposed to traveling underwater than other land animals.
Why are underwater animals underwater?
because they are
What animals lived in OHIO when it was underwater?
No animals lived in underwater Ohio since it was underwater. They had to be fish, but no mammals.
Do any animals underwater have horns?
GOOD QUESTION! Well there is one animal with a horn that looks like a unicorn's horn.....What is it? you ask, IT IS A NARWHAL! Narwhal use their horn's to fight underwater. They don't have two horns like a bull, but they do have one horn like a unicorn! Here is a picture of a bunch of narwhals! Watch where you are going with that horn!
Is there sound underwater?
Yes, sound can travel underwater, but it travels differently compared to in air. Sound waves travel faster and farther in water due to its higher density, allowing marine animals to communicate and navigate using sound.
What is sonar commcation?
Sonar communication is a method of communication that uses sound waves underwater. Marine animals such as dolphins and whales use sonar to communicate with each other and navigate their surroundings. Sonar technology is also used by humans for underwater navigation, detecting objects, and communication in underwater environments.
Why are sound waves important for communication and navigation in the ocean?
Sound waves are important for communication and navigation in the ocean because they can travel long distances underwater, allowing marine animals to communicate with each other and navigate through the vast ocean environment. Sound waves are also used by marine animals to locate prey, avoid predators, and navigate in dark or murky waters where visibility is limited.
What kind of animals are in the ocean?
sealife creature / sealife animals / sealife / underwater mamals / underwater creatures
What do you mean by sonar?
It stands for Sound Navigation and Ranging. It is used underwater as a means of navigation. Used by certain ships like submarines, also used by certain marine animals like dolphins. A sound wave is produced by the dolphin and the dolphin can then listen for the return echo, This echo allows the animal to determine distances and underwater features.
How do marine animals navigate?
Cetaceans depend on sound to some degree to sense the ocean environment, and some are known to use echolocation. Echolocation allows these animals to determine the distance of objects (food, predators) and features of the underwater environment (seafloor depth, topography) for navigation purposes. They accomplish this by projecting sounds, called sonar clicks, that are reflected back when the sounds strike an object. The farther away an object is, the longer it takes for the echo to return, allowing the echlocating animal to tell the distance. Echolocation makes it possible to navigate and feed at night and in deep or murky water, or at great distances where visual sensing would be ineffective. For example, a dolphin can detect a target the size of a golf ball almost a football field away, much farther than the dolphin can see underwater. Marine mammals also use underwater vocalizations to communicate with each other. Because sound waves travel efficiently in water, some ocean-dwelling animals are able to communicate over great distances through sound. Based on the few marine mammal species for which hearing has been tested to date, it appears that a given species' hearing is tuned to a broad range of frequencies with the greatest sensitivity typically encompassing the range of vocalizations and echolocation (for echolocating species).

Why do animals migrate great distances every year?
animals migrate from distances is because they hide their food in different places that is why they migrate from distances
