navigation by reflected sound
a way some animals find things by listening to echoes
Модел на употреба:
echolocation (in [animal])
Честа грешка:
Echolocation is not the same as simply having good hearing; it specifically involves using echoes from sounds that are produced.
Синоними
biosonar (often used for echolocation in animals, especially marine mammals.)
Антоними
vision (finding things by sight rather than by echoes.)

Примери
- Bats rely on echolocation to avoid obstacles in the dark.

locating objects with sound echoes
a way to find objects by sending sound and listening to the echo
Модел на употреба:
echolocation for [purpose]
Честа грешка:
Learners often confuse echolocation with radar; radar uses radio waves, while echolocation uses sound.
Синоними
sonar (a broader term; echolocation is often used for biological or biomimetic sonar.)
Антоними
radar (a different ranging method that uses radio waves instead of sound.)

human navigation by clicking sounds
a way some people use echoes to know where things are
Модел на употреба:
learn echolocation; use echolocation to [do something]
Честа грешка:
It does not mean using a machine; in this sense it can be a learned human skill.
Синоними
click-based navigation (describes the common technique used in human echolocation.)
Антоними
visual navigation (moving around mainly by using sight rather than echoes.)

the act of echo-based detection
finding something by using echoes
Модел на употреба:
echolocation of [object/area]
Честа грешка:
This is a broad sense; in many contexts it specifically refers to animals (especially bats and dolphins).
Синоними
echo ranging (a general descriptive term for measuring location by echoes.)
Антоними
direct observation (identifying something without relying on reflected sound.)
Колокации

|echolocation of targets
|echolocation in darkness
|echolocation in water
