#Marsquakes: A New Way to Discover Hidden #Water Deep #Underground on #Mars
https://scitechdaily.com/marsquakes-a-new-way-to-discover-hidden-water-deep-underground-on-mars/
Penn State scientists are investigating the use of seismoelectric signals from marsquakes to identify deep underground water on Mars. This technique, based on detecting electromagnetic fields generated by seismic waves, could provide new insights into Martian aquifers and water distribution. L
#Marsquakes, recent #volcanism suggest #Mars still has a mantle plume:
@lienrag Sure. What kind of wacky aspects do you have in mind? That an exoquake may split the planet in half?

they are exceptional by 1) typically shaking longer (more scattering) and 2) more often being meteoroid impacts (thinner atmosphere).

Quite impressive: a #sunquake can reach magnitudes >11—impossible on earth.

One of the primary objectives of the InSight mission is to gather information from a seismometer placed on the surface of Mars which listens to vibrations from within the ground, known as marsquakes. Now, a team at ETH Zurich has recreated the experience of a Marsquake here on Earth in a shake room.
