The depths of the oceans are home to a complex ecosystem of marine organisms, but also a vast network of cables spanning the globe that aid communications. Earthquakes and tsunamis can potentially damage these important cables. The Earth’s surface is more than 70% water, which creates a challenge for scientists who monitor this seismic activity.
