Earthquake Question

Since Earthquakes on earth are called earthquakes. Are earthquakes on Mars called Marsquakes.

I believe the generic term “quake” is usually used for seismic events on other planets. Or, you could just call them seismic events.

NASA calls quakes on the moon “Moonquakes” in at least one document.

For the latter, it would be Martianware pottery. Earth > earthen = Mars > Martian.

Nah, Cheesequakes happen in New Jersey, long before DQ borrowed the name.
