How does echolocation work?.

Echolocation is the way different animals use sound waves that rebound off the objects around them. They use echolocations so they know where they are going or navigate and also know how to locate food. Bats use echolocation at night so they know if they are going to hit something of not. They emit high pitch sound which are more than 20 000 herzt.


Bats are mammals and they use echolocation at night as they are flying around or looking for prey. Bats makes noises and there noises rebound off whatever is around them back to to the bats, So the bats know if they're going to hit something or not. Bats make noises so they can get to where they need or so they can find their family.


Echolocation works by noises that people make. Ben can’t see but he can hear what is happening around him and also what is in front of him. He makes noises from his mouth  so he knows what is in front of him and what is not. When you make noises it rebounds from off whatever is around you.


After watching the video about a boy who can see with no eyes i thought to myself “if I close my eyes and makes noises will be rebound off the wall ” ? Ben is just like us but he just doesn’t have eyes to see where he is heading to. I never knew echolocation could help people that a blind and get them around place’s.
