Echolocation for mapping the bottom of the ocean?
the echolaocation for measurnig the bottom of the ocean is the Doppler effect
How is the ocean mapping made possible?
ocean mapping is made possible through indirect methods. Oceanographers use echo sounding, sonar, radar, and seismographic surveys. Vibrations such as sounds are set down from the ocean surface. The vibrations are then reflected from the ocean bottom at the same angle that they are received and are recorded at the surface. To calculate the distance to the bottom, the following equation is used d= 1/2 t x v
Why do they use sonar mapping?
Sonar mapping is needed for ocean research patterns.
Strength of sonar mapping?
It has many streghts such as for fisher men they can locate where the fish are usaull hiding. And for the navy they can locate where subamarines are coming from and to see the ocean bottom
Did poseidon build atlanta at the bottom of the ocean?
No such myth is known. So, no.
What feature is found at a distance of 4100 kilometers on the ocean bottom?
At a distance of 4100 kilometers on the ocean bottom, you would encounter the Mariana Trench, the deepest known oceanic trench. This trench is located in the western Pacific Ocean, reaching a maximum known depth of about 11,034 meters (36,201 feet) at the Challenger Deep.
Who invented echo-sounding devices for mapping the ocean floor?
I think that Henry Hess invented echo-sounding devices for mapping the ocean floor. But I am not 100% sure that is the correct answer. LOL <3
What is Sonar Mapping?
Sonar mapping uses sound waves to map out the contours or the shape of the ocean bottom. Sonar is an acronym for Sound Navigation Ranging. Typically, a pulse of sound is generated using a kind of underwater loudspeaker towed behind a boat. The pulse of sound, or "ping," spreads out through the water and is reflected back again by objects in the water, such as the ocean bottom, a fish, or a submarine. Underwater microphones measure the reflected sound. The time that it takes the echo to return is roughly proportional to the distance to the reflecting object. Like an echo in the air. Measuring the distance to a single object is relatively easy because it returns a simple echo. Making a map of the ocean floor is much more difficult because sound reflects back from many directions, from hills and valleys in the ocean floor. Complicated mathematics is needed to calculate a map of the ocean bottom.
Is the bottom of the ocean is different from land masses because the ocean bottom is perfectly flat?
what is wrong with this sentence "the bottom of the ocean is different from land masses because the ocean bottom is perfectly flat."
How did scientists map the bottom of the ocean?
How scientists map the bottom of the ocean
What are slimy deposits at the bottom of the ocean?
The bottom of the ocean that is slimy is called a biogenous bottom. Some scientists refer to this kind of ocean bottom as an ooze. They are the result of a dominance of calcium shells and siliceous shell pieces which dissolve at the bottom of the ocean.
The shallow ocean bottom extending from the continents for about 30 miles is the?
continental shelf
