What are the sound waves sent to the ocean floor called?
Sonar waves.
How do submarines target underwater objects?
They use Sonar to send sound waves to the bottom of the oceans.
What technique uses sound waves to measure the depth of the ocean floor?
Sonar.
Oceanographers can use sonar to calculate the depth of the ocean floor because?
sound waves can penetrate the ocean floor.
How would sonar enable an underwater vessel to steer its way through the ocean depths?
sonar is used, to steer a vessel because sound waves are emitted around the vessel. Then the sound waves are traveled back to the vessel. If the sound waves are block by an object, it will tell the vessel.
What instrument measure the depth of the ocean using sound waves?
'Sonar". And determines depth. The ocean floor topography can be mapped by 'sonar scanning'.
What system using sounds waves would provide a detailed map of this ocean floor?
sonar
Which of these uses sound waves to measure the distance between objects underwater?
Sound waves bounce off the ocean floor and come back up to whatever emitted it. The time it takes for the sound wave to come back tells how far down it went. Doing this many times over and over, one can map out the ocean floor, and if the sound wave comes back relatively fast, that means there is something on the ocean floor.
What early 1900s development using sound waves made mapping the topography of the ocean floor easier?
SONAR, which was developed by the military to detect submarines.
A technique that directs sound waves toward the ocean floor to map its depth is called?
That technique is called sonar.
What are some technological applications of sound waves?
Sonar (or Sound Navigation and Ranging) is a type of technology that was designed to help with navigation, communication and locate objects underwater. Sonar projects sound waves then listens for the echo of the emitted sound waves to detect objects.
How do dolphins hear underwater?
they use SONAR. :)
