INTRODUCTION
Two types of underwater communication.

acoustic communication

Cable communication

ACOUSTIC COMMUNICATION

It is a technique of sending and receiving message through ACOUSTIC WAVE below water.

CABLE COMMUNICATION
It is a technique of sending and receiving message through OPTICAL CABLES.

ACOUSTIC COMMUNICATION
USES

It helps to detect Tsunami, earthquakes & tectonic plates movement. It helps us to detect the amount of oil present under the seabed & mining. It helps us to communicate with submarines & underwater devices.

SONAR

SONAR - Sound Navigation And Ranging

Sonar is a system that detects sound wave echoes to measure distances of submerged objects and relay communication

Sonar is useful in submarine and mine detection, commercial fishing, diving safety, communication at sea, map features, including hills and valleys on the ocean floor, to inspect pipelines, cables, and bridge foundations. The sonar systems send sound waves and listens for a returning echo before relaying data to a human operator or a computer monitor.

TYPICAL SUBMARINE CABLE SYSTEM

Modern submarine telecommunications cables rely on a property of optical fibers, whereby light is transmitted by internal reflection. Because the light signal loses strengthen route, repeaters are installed along the cable to boost the signal.

WORLD SUBMARINE CABLE CONNECTION

Damage Due To Marine Activity

Submarine cables are the backbone of the international telecommunications network Almost 100% of transoceanic Internet traffic is sent via submarine cable The submarine cable network is designed to be resilient, however faults can disrupt activities we take for granted banking, airline bookings, internet shopping, education, health, defense & our communication with one another
