Maximum magnitude of quakes, assuming that the fracture zones visible on the surface
Maximum magnitude of quakes, assuming that the fracture zones visible on the surface indicate the distribution and maximum strength of marsquakes. Values over 7.5 are not plausible given the cause of marsquakes, although many of the fracture zones would be long enough for such events. The map shows Mars in an equal-area Hammer projection. The blue star indicates the landing site selected for the Insight mission.
