The rumbling detected by NASA's InSight Mars rover had a magnitude of 4.7 and has now been determined to be the largest 'marsquake' ever recorded.
Scientists have detected the largest 'marsquake' ever recorded on our planetary neighbor Mars, which was initially thought to be the seismic shaking of a meteorite impact.The quake was found to have lasted at least six hours, and had a magnitude of 4.7—equivalent to the earthquake that shook Northern California on Tuesday—indicating that Mars is much more seismically active than we first thought.
If people were ever to go there, this one is large enough that you would want to be aware of it—it would not bring the house down, as it were, but would certainly shake and potentially topple small objects.'Earthquakes on our planet are caused by two tectonic plates suddenly shifting past one another, releasing huge amounts of energy that ripple through the ground.
