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

Példák
- Bats rely on echolocation to avoid obstacles in the dark.
- Scientists recorded echolocation calls to study how dolphins hunt.
- The cave fish showed reduced vision but strong echolocation-like sensing.
Példák tanulóknak
- Bats use echolocation at night.
- Echolocation helps dolphins find fish.

locating objects with sound echoes
a way to find objects by sending sound and listening to the echo
Használati minta:
echolocation for [purpose]
Gyakori hiba:
Learners often confuse echolocation with radar; radar uses radio waves, while echolocation uses sound.
Szinonimák
sonar (a broader term; echolocation is often used for biological or biomimetic sonar.)
Antonimák
radar (a different ranging method that uses radio waves instead of sound.)

Példák
- The robot uses echolocation to map the corridor when the lights are off.
- Engineers tested echolocation methods for obstacle detection in drones.
- Echolocation can be effective underwater because sound travels well in water.
Példák tanulóknak
- The device uses echolocation to find walls.
- Echolocation works by listening to echoes.

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

Példák
- After months of practice, he used echolocation to move confidently through unfamiliar rooms.
- The documentary showed how echolocation can help some blind people judge distance.
- She made small clicks and listened for changes in the echo as part of her echolocation routine.
Példák tanulóknak
- He learned echolocation to walk safely.
- She uses clicks for echolocation.

the act of echo-based detection
finding something by using echoes
Használati minta:
echolocation of [object/area]
Gyakori hiba:
This is a broad sense; in many contexts it specifically refers to animals (especially bats and dolphins).
Szinonimák
echo ranging (a general descriptive term for measuring location by echoes.)
Antonimák
direct observation (identifying something without relying on reflected sound.)
Szókapcsolatok

|echolocation in darkness
|echolocation in water
|echolocation research
|echolocation study

Példák
- Echolocation is an efficient way to detect objects when visibility is low.
- The lecture explained echolocation as a process of measuring time delays in echoes.
Példák tanulóknak
- Echolocation uses echoes to detect objects.

fixed phrase
technical
echolocation by making sounds
echolocation where you make the sound yourself
Példák
- Bats use active echolocation by emitting calls and listening for echoes.
- The paper compared active echolocation with other sensory strategies in nocturnal animals.
bat echolocation
1/bˈæt ˌɛkoʊloʊkˈeɪʃən/
fixed phrase
technical
echolocation used by bats
the way bats use echoes to find things
Példák
- Researchers analyzed bat echolocation to understand how bats track fast-moving insects.
- Bat echolocation changes depending on whether the bat is in open air or near trees.
dolphin echolocation
1/dˈɑlfən ˌɛkoʊloʊkˈeɪʃən/
fixed phrase
technical
echolocation used by dolphins
the way dolphins use clicks and echoes underwater
Példák
- Dolphin echolocation is strong enough to detect fish hiding in sand.
- The team used underwater microphones to capture dolphin echolocation in the bay.
echolocation call
1/ˌɛkoʊloʊkˈeɪʃən kˈɔl/
fixed phrase
technical
sound used to create echoes
a sound an animal makes to hear echoes
Példák
- The bat emitted an echolocation call just before it grabbed the moth.
- Different species have distinctive echolocation calls that can be identified in recordings.
passive echolocation
1/pˈæsɪv ˌɛkoʊloʊkˈeɪʃən/
fixed phrase
technical
echo use without making sounds
finding things by listening to echoes of other sounds
Példák
- Some researchers discuss passive echolocation in animals that exploit ambient noise.
- Passive echolocation can be harder because the sound source is not under the listener’s control.
