Abstract
In the past few decades, Mars-oriented orbiters and landers have allowed to unravel valuable knowledge about Mars’ surface and interior. With the InSight mission, seismic waves have indicated the presence of more frequent Marsquakes than assumed before the mission (Banerdt et al. 2020). Moreover, active mantle plume is considered below the Elysium Region (Broquet and Andrews-Hanna, 2023). This raises questions regarding the planet's formation and whether Mars is more geologically active than was considered.
