…much larger group of marsquakes, so-called very high frequency (VF) events. The source process of these quakes occurs much faster than for a tectonic marsquake of similar size. Where a…
…similar yet distinct from Earth.” To determine these differences, the team tracked the progression of two distant seismic events on Mars, one caused by a marsquake and the other by…
…the French space agency Centre National d’Études Spatiales (CNES) and the Marsquake Service managed by ETH Zurich, detected 1,319 marsquakes, including quakes caused by meteoroid impacts, the largest of which unearthed boulder-size chunks…

…The largest “Marsquake” previously recorded by InSight was an estimated magnitude 4.2 detected on August 25, 2021. A magnitude 5 quake is comparable to a medium-sized quake on Earth but…
