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.
Why it is that echo sounder are used in navigation?
Echo Sounders are used in navigation because they can determine the depth of an area in the sea/ocean. It's almost like it can pinpoint it depth of the area since it find the longitude and latitude of that area also.

Explain how sonar can be used to determine the depth of the ocean?
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.
