vvvvvScientists who study migrating organisms need a way to track the organisms' movement. They also need to determine the number of organisms in a certain location at a given time. This information helps scientists better understand changes in migration behavior.

Radar is a technology used by scientists to track smaller organisms like birds, bats, and flying insects during migration. For example, radar can detect the number of bats in a swarm of bats. The diagrams shown below represent how a signal is sent from a transmitter toward an object, such as a bird, and bounces back to the receiver.



The first diagram shows a transmitter and an arrow labeled 'signal sent out' pointing from the transmitter to a bird. The second diagram shows a receiver and an arrow labeled 'signal bounced back from bird' pointing from the bird to the receiver.





A student wants to compare radar technology with several other types of technologies. The student listed some information about these technologies in the chart shown below.

They are all used for collecting data.

Radar sends out signals and measures returned echoes to detect and count organisms, which—like the other technologies listed—gathers information about the environment.
