What type of waves do echolocation use?
sound waves
What happens to echolocation when it hits an object?
Echolocation is actually a process- it can't hit anything. In echolocation, high frequency sound waves are sent out by an animal. When these sound waves hit an object, they bounce off of it and reflect back to the animal. The animal can gather information about the object from these sound waves such as its size, shape, and distance.
What is the process of using reflected sound waves to find objects?
ECHOLOCATION SONAR
What property of waves do bats rely on?
sound waves
What property of sound waves is related to the amplitude of the waves?
Loudness.

How do bats create sounds?
Bats create sound based on location, like sonar. when they travel they emit sonar like waves to identify objects. Echolocation

Describe how animals use echolocation to survive?
"many animals use echolocation like whales bats etc.they send it by using ultrasonic waves (through water). the ultra sonic waves reach the object and bounce back to the whale or dolphin!
Can echolocation work in a sound proof room?
Yes. Echolocation works by bouncing waves off of objects. A sound proof room would not allow sound to escape but there are still walls in the room to allow a bat's echolocation to bounce off of and back to the bat.
What form of communication do whales use?
It's called echolocation or ''Clicking" language.
How do bats use sound to survive?
bats use echolocation to 'see'. echolocation is when sound waves bounce off an object and back to the bat. the bat then can feel the size, the shape, and even the movement of other predators, prey, each other, and objects
What waves cause damage to property?
Waves from the ocean which come up with force or depth can cause damage to property. Compressional waves or tsunami waves are an example of these seismic waves.
The use of sound waves by some bats to navigate and find food is called what?
Bats send out sound waves which bounce off of solid and liquid materials. They then locate the where the sound wave came from and can determine where the object is and what the object is. This form of navigation is called echolocation.
What property of waves do bats rely on?
sound waves
Does the narwhal use echolocation?
Yes, the narwhal uses echolocation. It communicates and navigates by an array of sounds. The sound waves travel until they bounce off obstacles. The returning sound waves then are processed by the narwhal's own head and possibly own tusk. The narwhal then knows what obstacles are in and near its path and what evasive action to engage in.
