Silly term, marsquakes. Earthquakes will do as earth also refers to the soil, etc.

Still, what we are getting to know about Mars is very cool. My niece posted this photo of clouds in the Martian atmosphere.

They should just be called seismic events. Even "quake" would be sufficient.

Even taking it out to "planet quakes" isn't far enough. There are seismic events on stars.

And yes, we named them "starquakes" Roll Eyes
