A new discovery changes the idea of ​​scientists on the surface of Mars.

Scientists thought that Mars looked a lot like Earth, with the prospect of maintaining life in the near future. However, NASA's InSight pier, which landed on the red planet in November 2018, recently allowed scientists to detect and monitor earthquakes.

The seismograph measured the first earthquake on the red planet in April and since then researchers have recorded dozens of other possible earthquakes on Mars.

The biggest surprise so far is that seismic waves on the surface of Mars are much more like earthquakes than Earth, which may mean Mars's earth's crust is drier and more fragmented than Earth. They thought.

Mars appears to be more seismically active than the moon, but much lower than Earth, where the red planet is exposed to more earthquakes than Earth, indicating that the Martian crust has layers of rough rock dry and raw like the moon.

However, dozens of earthquakes on Mars are not enough to reveal the secrets of the red planet, Martian earthquake signals are so weak that they provide no information about the internal structure of the planet. For these reasons, InSight is still waiting for a major earthquake to occur across the planet. .
