The researchers studied the slight deformations in the cable and were able to sense a small earthquake, pinpoint unmapped faults in the seafloor and observe movements in the water column—all of which might be of interest to oceanographers.

研究人员研究了电缆的轻微变形，并能够感知到小地震、查明海底未测绘的断层并观察水柱的运动——所有这些都可能引起海洋学家的兴趣。
