Scientists know the depth of the ocean by using technology like the Deep Worker or the "Alvin". It takes them to the bottom of the ocean so they can study ocean life. Also ships use sonar (SOund NAvigation and Ranging) to see what the depth of the ocean is.

How do scientist find the depth of the ocean waters?
scientist use sound
An oceanic depth sounding vessel survey the ocean bottom with ultrasonic sound that travels 1530M per S in seawater and find 6S time delay of the echo to the ocean floor and back. The ocean depth is?
4590 Meter.
Is there any life at the bottom of the ocean that can survive in shallow depth?
Definitely each day scientist find more life down there. JASMYNELOVESFLOWERS

To find out the ocean`s depth
Explain how sonar can be used to determine the depth of the ocean?
AN APPRATUS calld sonar is used to locate underwater objects and to find the depth of water.it sends out high freqncy sound viberations called ultasonic viberations,into the water.the time taken by the viberations to return is then used to calculatethe distance of the reflecting surface.
What metric unit of length would you use to find the depth of the ocean?
Metres.
How do you measure the length of the ocean?
Usually deals with hypersonic wavelengths, kinda like how bats see, and they see how long it takes to hear the signal back. Then they divide the time by 2, since the time given was the time down and back up, then they find out the speed of the hypersonic wavelength, and plug it in to the sound.
How do scientist use sound waves to find oil deposits?

How does sound energy used?
Sound energy is used by living things in order to hear stuff, and alsoto operate ultrasound equipment to see babies before they're born andsmash kidney stones, and also to operate SONAR to find enemy subsand fish and measure the depth of the ocean.
