Tectonic Forces Cause Strongest Marsquake Ever Recorded

On May 4, 2022, NASA's InSight lander detected a magnitude 4.7 marsquake, the largest ever recorded.
Scientists initially suspected a meteorite impact but found no evidence of a fresh crater.
After months of analysis, researchers concluded the quake originated from tectonic stress deep within Mars' crust.
The discovery indicates Mars has more seismic activity than previously thought.
Understanding the seismic forces on Mars will inform future missions and potential human habitation.
