Did you know quakes aren’t unique to Earth? 🌎 🌍 Earthquakes happen when tectonic plates shift, releasing massive energy that shakes the ground.
🌕 Moonquakes were first detected by Apollo missions — caused by tidal forces from Earth, meteor impacts, or extreme lunar day-night temperature changes (from +120°C to -170°C!). 🔴 Marsquakes were discovered by NASA’s InSight lander. These rumbles reveal that Mars still has an active interior, hinting it’s not as “dead” as once thought!
Each quake — on Earth, the Moon, or Mars — helps scientists peek inside worlds we can’t dig into. They’re nature’s way of whispering planetary secrets! 🌋✨
