    Hi there!

    The seismic events that some scientists propose on Mars, are called marsquakes. So I guess the others could then be called jupiterquakes and venusquakes… 😉 But remember that Jupiter is a gas planet, and Venus is too hot for plate tectonics, so the earthquakes we know from Earth won’t happen there. 🙂

    All the best,
    Andi
