Subsea cables are crucial for global communications, with 99% of digital data relying on them. When an earthquake caused a landslide that broke several cables, it helped scientists learn more about ocean movements. Today, these cables not only connect us but also serve as tools for scientific research, detecting underwater events like storms and earthquakes.
Ninety-nine percent of the world's digital communications rely on subsea cables. Fixing them keeps us all connected – and has changed our understanding of the ocean.
