- Moonquakes ("earthquakes" on the moon) do occur, but they happen less frequently and have smaller magnitudes than earthquakes on the Earth. It appears they are related to the tidal stresses associated with the varying distance between the Earth and Moon. They also occur at great depth, about halfway between the surface and the center of the moon.

Why are earthquakes called earthquakes when Earth is not the only planet to have them?
'Earthquake' refers to the movement of ground caused by tectonic actions. It is not dependent on the term Earth used to describe the planet, merely the material it is composed of. The term can be applied to other celestial bodies as easily as it is to ours; however 'moonquake' is sometimes used instead for describing similar events on natural moons.
