   Sep 15, 2022 · In 2013, NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover found evidence of organic matter in rock-powder samples, and Perseverance has detected organics in Jezero Crater before. But unlike that previous discovery, this latest detection was made in an area where, in the distant past, sediment and salts were deposited into a lake under conditions in which life could potentially have existed.

   Is Mars still active?

   • The evidence for a still-geologically active Mars comes from NASA’s InSight lander. InSight has been recording the faint seismic pings from marsquakes, the Martian equivalent of earthquakes. So far, InSight has detected over 1,300 such marsquakes.

   Are Mars volcanoes still active?

   • But Mars volcanoes don’t appear active. And, for decades, scientists have assumed the planet is geologically dead. But is it? In late October 2022, an international team of researchers announced evidence that Mars is still volcanically active below its surface. The findings are based on data from NASA’s InSight lander.

   Why does Mars have earthquakes?

   • Mars doesn't have active plate tectonics, the researchers said, so both types of quakes are caused by the long-term cooling of the planet since its formation 4.5 billion years ago. "As the planet cools, it contracts, and then the brittle outer layers then have to fracture in order to sort of maintain themselves on the surface," Banerdt said.
