TL;DR

Scientists are puzzled by a powerful seismic tremor detected on Mars, known as a "marsquake," which is the most powerful ever detected on the planet. Initially thought to be caused by a meteoroid impact, a new study suggests that the tremor originated deep within the planet, indicating tectonic activity. The source of the tremor is located in the planet's southeast, beyond the known fault lines, suggesting the existence of some other mysterious phenomenon. Further research is needed to unravel this seismic puzzle and understand the geology of Mars.
