sonar mapping

Sonar mapping is a technique used to create detailed maps of underwater surfaces using sound waves. It works by sending out sound pulses and measuring how long they take to bounce back after hitting an object. By analyzing these echoes, sonar systems can determine the distance and shape of the underwater terrain, such as the ocean floor, shipwrecks, or underwater features. This technology is widely used in marine research, navigation, and fishing, helping scientists and explorers gain a better understanding of the underwater environment.
