NASA scientists have just released data from the InSight lander, showing that icy moonquakes on the surface of Mars can trigger landslides. The data, collected over the course of two years on the Martian surface, suggests that icy moonquakes, or large seismic events, are capable of generating landslides, which then redistribute dust and ice across the surface. This has implications for the formation of geologic features on the planet, and could even help scientists understand how Mars was formed in the first place.
