The First Active Fault Zone Has Been Found on Mars: Cerberus Fossae

Rumbling quakes on the red planet have been traced back to Cerberus Fossae.

This suggests this geologically young region is still alive and cracking.

Back in April 2019, the first first earthquake on Mars was heard by NASA’s InSight, showing that the Red Planet is shaking and rumbling. Now, based on the the analysis of the seismic signals, scientitsts were able to detect the very first activ fault zone on Mars: Cerberus Fossae.

The Mars Quakes

Known as marsquakes, the events clocked in between magnitude 3 and 4, according to data from NASA’s InSight lander presented at during a recent AGU conference.

While the two quakes are small by Earth standards, they’re among the largest yet detected on Mars.

InSight detected its first seismic rumble from the planet’s interior, rather than its noisy surface, on April 6, 2019. Since that time, temblors have been happening with increasing frequency — with more than 300 yet detected. But more monitoring is necessary to figure out why.
