Passive acoustics is the action of listening for sounds, often at specific frequencies or for purposes of specific analyses.
As applied to underwater acoustics, also termed hydroacoustics or SONAR, passive acoustics can be used to listen for underwater explosions, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, sounds produced by fish and other animals, vessel activity or aquatic detecting equipment (as in hydroacoustics to track fish).
