Many kilometres off the western coast of the Americas, an undersea cable connects Los Angeles, California to Valparaiso, Chile. Stretched end-to-end, its equal to four-fifths of the Earths diameter. The cable is fibre optic; its a lifeline for data transmitted between the two continents. But according to new research, the cable could easily serve a dual function: mitigating the disastrous impacts of earthquakes and tsunamis.
The results come from an interdisciplinary collaboration between geophysicists…
