Researchers noticed that kimberlites occur most often during times when the tectonic plates are rearranging themselves in big ways

Scientists who study Mars have revealed the remarkable Christmas gift they received from the planet last year.

On Dec. 24, 2021, a meteorite hit Mars' surface, triggering magnitude 4 tremors, which were detected by NASA's InSight spacecraft, which landed on the planet four years ago, some 3,500 kilometers away.

The state should consider moving certain mountain settlements to a different location instead of investing in expensive anti-erosion works, says Efthymis Lekkas, professor of dynamic tectonic applied geology at Athens University and head of the Organization of Earthquake Planning and Protection.

For the first time, scientists managed to detect "marsquake" or move the tectonic plates on Mars, writes phys.org.
