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.

Depth is a measure of distance between the surface and the ocean floor.
Scientists know the depth of the ocean by using technology like the Deep Worker or the "Alvin". It takes them to the bottom of the ocean so they can study ocean life. Also ships use sonar (SOund NAvigation and Ranging) to see what the depth of the ocean is.
Scientist use the device "Sonar."

They pay the divers to go to the end of the ocean and measure the ocean floor depth before divers dive they take a long endless string keep it up the surface then take it al the way down and cut to where it ends so that when they are finished they measure
Scientists measure ocean depths using sonar technology, which involves sending sound waves into the water and measuring how long it takes for them to bounce back. Another method is using satellite altimetry, which measures the sea surface height and then estimates the depth based on the gravitational pull of underwater features. Submersibles equipped with depth sensors can also be used to directly measure the depth of the seafloor.
Scientists use sound waves to measure the depth of the ocean through a method called sonar. By sending sound pulses from a ship to the ocean floor and measuring the time it takes for the sound waves to bounce back, scientists can calculate the depth of the ocean at that location.
