How does the information gathered by ships using Sea Beam sonar differ from that collected with standard methods that use one sonar device?
A sonar uses one device and a sea beam uses a dozen sonar devices.
What scientific and technological advances were made during world war 2 to help the American war effort?
they would do the best they could to make the best weapons in the war
Does a ship have a sonar?
Most modern combat Navy surface vessels have Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) sonar arrays of some type, and at least 1 Aircraft Carrier does as well (newer carriers use their escort vessels for ASW sonar screens). Essentially, that comes down to Cruisers, Destroyers, and Frigates, which make up the bulk of a Carrier Battle Group or Task Force screen to protect the Carrier from submarine threats. However, those ships, as well as Carriers, also use fixed and rotary wing aircraft with deployable (dipping) and expendable (sonobuoys) sonar as well. Ship sonar systems include the main forward sonar arrays, as well as deployable Variable Depth Sonar (VDS) towed sonar systems.
What are the differences between side scan sonar multi-beam sonar?
Side scan sonar uses sonar to map the the ground below by emitting continuous sonar pulses while moving. The sound continuously reflects back to the system's receiver, which creates an image based on the energy of the signal received, where darker points in the image match things protruding from the ground and lighter spots indicate where there is nothing. It does not measure the depth. Side scan sonar is usually towed behind the vessel using it. Multibeam sonar is similar to side scan sonar, except that it is attached to the vessel (rather than being towed) and measures the time difference between sound emission and reception, rather than the energy of the incoming sound waves. Thus, it measures depth instead of making a picture.
How do scientists make maps of the ocean floor?
Sonar
How did world war 2 affect modern oceanography?
Sonar helped map the ocean floor
Did sonar affect the outcome of World War I?
No, sonar didn't affect the outcome of World War I. Sonar and electronics technology were not far enough advanced to make a difference in the era from 1910 to 1920. Certainly the war spurred the efforts to develop sonar, but it didn't come far enough fast enough to have any significant effect on WWI at all. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on sonar, and the section on "History" is brief and easy to read. Why not surf on over and check it out? Our friends there supply knowledge for free.

yes
How did sonar help in World War 2?
Sonar was used widely in World War II in an effort to locate enemy submarines. It wasn't as sophisticated as it is today, but it did help. Actual numbers are difficult to come by, but sonar was effective in the successful attacks on several submarines.
