AN APPRATUS calld sonar is used to locate underwater objects and to find the depth of water.it sends out high freqncy sound viberations called ultasonic viberations,into the water.the time taken by the viberations to return is then used to calculatethe distance of the reflecting surface.
What else can I help you with?
What two factors does sonar use to determine ocean depth?
Sonar determines ocean depth by measuring the time it takes for sound waves to travel from the surface to the ocean floor and back. It also relies on the speed of sound in water, which is approximately 1,500 meters per second. By calculating the time delay and knowing the speed of sound, sonar can accurately calculate the depth of the water.
How do you find ocean depth?
You use Sonar
What do scientists use to measure ocean depth?
SONAR
How is the depth of the ocean measured?
Scientist use the device "Sonar."
What can scientists do with sonar technology?
To find out the ocean`s depth
What instrument measure the depth of the ocean using sound waves?
A device called a echo sounder or sonar is used to measure the depth of the ocean using sound waves. Sound waves are emitted from the instrument and the time taken for the sound waves to bounce back from the ocean floor is used to calculate the depth.
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.
What technology do scienctist use to measure ocean depth?
Scientists use echo sounders or sonar technology to measure ocean depth. These tools work by sending sound waves down into the water and measuring how long it takes for the sound to bounce back, allowing scientists to calculate the depth of the ocean floor.
Which method is currently used least to measure the depth of the ocean floor?
Lead Weight
What is depth of the ocean if a sonar signal takes 4 seconds to travel from a ship to the ocean floor and back?
Unfortunately the ship sank
What two pieces of information are needed to map the ocean depth using sonar?
To map ocean depth using sonar, two key pieces of information needed are the time it takes for the sound waves to travel from the sonar device to the seafloor and back (ping time), and the speed of sound in water at different depths. By calculating the distance based on ping time and speed of sound, the ocean depth can be accurately mapped.
