Question

Scientists use SONAR mostly to

a. predict storms.
b. observe currents.
c. check water temperature.
d. determine ocean depth.

Answer 1

SONAR is used mostly to determine ocean depth by utilizing the reflecting properties of sound waves.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scientists use SONAR (Sound Navigation And Ranging) mostly to determine ocean depth. SONAR utilizes the reflecting properties of sound waves to measure the time it takes for the sound wave to bounce off the seabed and return to the ship.

By knowing the speed of sound and the time lapse, scientists can calculate the distance from the ship to the bottom of the ocean.
