What was Sonar's role in locating underwater mountains?
When drilling core samples from the ocean floor, sonar was used to replace worn drill bits.
What is the continuous mountain range in the earth oceans basic called?
The continuous mountain ranges in the earth's ocean basins are called mid-ocean ridges. These ridges were discovered with sonar, which was used to map the ocean floor.
What technology did scientists use in the mid-1900s to map the mid-ocean ridge?
Sonar.
Who Used sonar to prove sea floor spreading?
Harry Hess
What new technology was used to map the seafloor beginning in 1940-1950?
It was sonar, directing pings of sound toward the ocean floor and measuring how long before the echos returned. Knowing the speed of sound in ocean water, they could then calculate the distances.
What are sonars used for?
Scientist use Sonar to map the ocean floor. Scientist use Sonar to map the ocean floor.
What types of technology are used to study ocean floor?

What is a sonar map?
A sonar map is a map used to map the ocean floor, often used by shipmen
What are things used to examine the ocean floor?
Sonar and Satellite Imaging.
What types of technology are used in ocean research?
oceanographers use equipment such as sonar, satellites, and radar to map the ocean floor. marine biologists use scuba equipment, submarines, R.O.V.'s, and various other dissection tools to study and understand organisms that live in the ocean.
What tools are used to study ocean floor?
echo location is used to study, and map the ocean floor. submarines and camaras can also be used.
