Are there earthquakes on Mars?

0

Known as "martemotos" or marsquakes in English, although the planet does not really have active tectonics ( its seismic activity is much less intense than that of the Earth), the Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure (SEIS) aboard the InSight lander Mar s has detected Martian earthquakes on multiple occasions.

What is the use of detecting marsquakes on Mars?

Detecting them is very useful because they can provide information about the subsoil. By analyzing seismic waves, researchers can infer the structure of the entire planet; This is how we know what the interior of the Earth is like and this is how we can also understand what the reddish desert Mars is like inside.
