What Has Echo Sounder Technology Shown About The Topography Of The Seafloor. It was able to observe the seafloor topography in. Echo sounder technology is an acoustic seafloor mapping technique that transmits a pulse of sound directly downwards. Scientists typically use echo sounders that transmit sound at 12 kilohertz (khz) to determine how far down the seafloor lies. Since water mutes electromagnetic waves, there are only two ways to truly see beneath the sea without journeying down to the seafloor: Despite collecting data for centuries and, in recent decades, the introduction of new and improved sounding techniques, the depth of the ocean has been determined over less than 18%. Active sonar systems emit a pulse of sound into the water, which then bounces off the seafloor, creating an “echo.” seafloor depth.
