How did the use of sonar change scientists ideas about ocean floor topography?

because it's hard for scientists to be able to get clear pictures down at that level, 1000's of feet below the surface because the pressure is so high, it's so far down, and it's so dark. when sonar came out scientists were able to know what was down there without actuallly taking pictures. It's like with a bat. The bat doesn't actually have to see what's in front of it to know what's down there because, by using it's sonar, it's able to sense the vibrations off of the objects.
