The early explorers determined the depth of an ocean with the help of an instrument called 'sounding weight'. The method of measuring the depth of an ocean using this instrument was called 'Depth Sounding'.

Explanation:

This instrument called 'Sounding Weight' used by the early explorers to measure the depth of the oceans was basically made up of a bell-shaped mass of lead tied to a hemp rope.
