#Map shows the submarine cable system which are in the ocean floor that is vital for Internet!

Every time we transfer data from an US/international server, that data travels in these cables 1000s of meters below sea surface..

In India cables land primarily in Mumbai & Chennai
This is one reason for storing local audience oriented content in local servers. It can reduce the unnecessary load on the cables and energy requirements.. (Some big companies already do in someway but efficiency is ofcourse required)
Ocean Floor Visual:

These cables are lying in this terrain!

#Thread:

Since many had asked this, Writing a short thread on the formation between India and Sri Lanka

Usually many get deceived by "static" satellite images and believe that the Tombolo section as permanent relics of a man made bridge.
Deeper ocean currents don't enter the section between Sri Lanka and India because of the Cont Shelf. The sea surface in this section is dominated by longshore currents in two directions - one from Gulf of Mannar and other from Palk strait and they are in opposite directions
Longshore currents bring a lot of sediments. And at the meeting point of the currents they settle and form these islands. Notice in the satellite images below how these islands change a lot owing to current direction, tides, etc. This is just a short term timelapse (<4 years)
