Echo sounding is the technique of using sound pulses directed from the surface or from a submarine vertically down to measure the distance to the bottom by means of sound waves.The distance is measured by multiplying half the time from the signal's outgoing pulse to its return by the speed of sound in the water which is more or less 1.5 km/s.(the speed of sound in water may slightly change by the factors of pressure, temperature and salinity).
The formula is:
D = 1/2*t*v
where:
D = distance
t = time in seconds
v = velocity in m/s
add. 'Doc' Edgerton, who had been a prime mover in the development of the Strobe Light, went on to make similar contributions to Side-scan Sonar.

What is echo sounding used for?
Echo sounding is used to get indication of any difference in the properties of the water. Fish finding, and depth sounding would be obvious uses. Other uses including locating enemy submarines or warships.

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 an advantage and a disadvantage to echo-sounding?
An advantage of echo-sounding is its ability to provide accurate and real-time measurements of water depth and seafloor topography, making it essential for navigation, fishing, and marine research. A disadvantage is that echo-sounding can be limited by factors such as water turbidity and the presence of marine life, which can interfere with signal clarity and reduce measurement accuracy.
