Silly questions:

  1. Is the “logarithmic scale” mentioned in this article the same as the Richter scale?

  2. Is there such a thing as an earthquake lasting up to 10 hours?

  3. Any hypothesis as to why seismic activity would be so different on Mars compared to on Earth?

I gave 2 a Google, 2 wildly different results - longest earthquake was in sumatra, 2005, lasted 10 minutes. Or, there was another also in Indonesia described as a 'slow slip' that lasted 32 years
