Echolocation explanation template

Echolocation is a series of sound waves which reflect off about it hits. Bats are a perfect example of echolocation. Bats are not blind but they do travel in the dark because they sleep in the day and are active in the night. Bats are nocturnal mammals and they rely on their ear when their In the dark, bats use Echolocation to hunt and live.

dolphins are another great example of echolocation. When they send an echo it makes a click sound, and that sound wave keeps going like a message and once it reaches something like another dolphin it reflects back to where it came from. Once it reaches the dolphin, it will have a reply. It also show’s them the location of objects or obstacles, it show what size and shape it is. There’s also distance, the longer it takes for the sound waves to return, the more distance between it and the object. Did you know that humans can’t hear the echolocation of a dolphin but we can feel it. Dolphins also use echolocation through their blowholes and another thing is that the high frequency sounds don’t travel that far but low frequency sounds are able travel further distance and the reason of that is because low frequency sounds have more energy.

An echo is something that repeats itself for example, when your in a cave in the mountains and you yell, your voice echoes through the air bouncing of the smooth areas it hits. You notice it repeats what you yelled and repeats it about 5 or 8 times, that is what an echo is. Dolphins echolocate by slapping their nostrils together but that isn't quite nice for us or clean
