Moonquakes And Marsquakes

The first thing to know about moonquakes is this: They last forever. While most earthquakes are over in under a minute, moonquakes can last for an afternoon. In the 1970s, at least one 5.5-magnitude moonquake shook the lunar surface at full force for more than 10 minutes straight, then tapered off gradually over the course of several hours.

  • Moonquakes
    Seismometers that Apollo astronauts placed on the surface of the Moon have revealed that the Moon experiences moonquakes. Deep moonquakes, occurring hundreds of miles beneath the lunar surface, are tidal events ― they result from the pull of Earth’s gravity tugging and stretching the Moon’s internal structures.

  • Shrinking Moon May Be Generating Moonquakes
    Astronauts placed the instruments on the lunar surface during the Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, and 16 missions. The Apollo 11 seismometer operated only for three weeks, but the four remaining recorded 28 shallow moonquakes – the type expected to be produced by these faults – from 1969 to 1977.

    Seismometers left on the surface of the Moon by Apollo astronauts have revealed that the Moon experiences moonquakes. Deep moonquakes, occurring hundreds of miles beneath the lunar surface, are tidal events – they result from the pull of Earth’s gravity tugging and stretching the Moon’s internal structures.
