Why do bats use ultra sound?
hey can't see in the dark so they use an echo type of thing that hits objects and repels back to them to let them know what is there.
Are nocternal animals eye sight the only developed sense they have?
No, depending on what type of animal. Bats, for example, are nocturnal animals but they use echolocation, so it would count as the touch sense, and the smell sense. Other animals, and jungle cats, use scent and sight, mostly to hunt prey and get around. Of course they have the other senses, they just might not be as sharp or useful as their eye sight.

Which type kf sound wave is used by bats and whales in echolocation?

What type of waves do echolocation use?
sound waves
What is echlocation?
Echolocation is a type of radar bats use to fly blind. The bats send out pulses of super sonic sound and navigate by the speed of the pulses return from what they bounced ( echoed ) off.
How do whales make sound?
Whales don't make sounds like we do. The three most common sounds a whale makes are clicks, whistles, and a type of call. Whales make the sounds by pressing air between balloon like structures which are located in their head.
What type of electromagnetic energy is detected by bats?
Bats can detect bio-sonar. They use it for echolocation.
What type of sound do bats produce?
Bats produce some sounds for ''echolocation'' which are ultrasonic (beyond the range of human hearing). Because of their high frequency, humans are not able to detect them, meaning they cannot know what they actually sound like. However, some of the words used to describe these sounds are clicks, chirps and squeaks.
How do bats use ultrasound?
Bats emit a type of biological sonar which we call echolocation. They let out a loud, high-pitched sound (often above the range of human hearing) which bounces off any obstacles in its way, and then returns to the bat in the form of an echo. These return waves tell the bat how far away the obstacle is as well as its size and shape. These bats have large ears which are very good at understanding the information brought back to them by the echoed waves of sound.
Can SONAR be used on land?
SONAR is an acronym created by the navy that is the name of what they use to locate items under water. But if you wanted to, you could say the bats using echolocation on land is a type on SONAR. They basically both use sound to locate objects so they are really not very different at all.
Which type of area would bats be the LEAST able to use echoes to find their way?
A very flat, open landscape such as a prairie where they would have a hard time detecting anything through echolocation
The forelimbs of mice bats and whales all have a similar bone structure The similarities are an example of which type of structure?
homologous structures
Which kinds of sound waves can be produced by bats?
