ANSWER:

Echo sounding is a better way of mapping ocean floors because this method can be used to measure larger depths of the ocean.

EXPLANATION:

This method of mapping, the 'depth of the ocean' uses sound waves to send and receive signals from depths of ocean enabling accurate mapping.

The lead weight on line method can also be used for mapping ocean floor but this method is better for up to 50 meters of depth.

Because it is more accurate, faster, and cheaper than useing lead weights on a line.

Answer: Outlet glaciers

Explanation:

Outlet glaciers fall under the Ice Sheet classification of glaciers whilst the rest listed above fall under the Alpine Glacier classification.

Outlet glaciers derive their name from their characteristic of flowing out of glaciers like ice sheets and ice caps.

The difference between Ice sheets and Alpine glaciers is that the former smoothens the terrain while the latter steepens it.
