On Mars, we would call them "marsquakes" rather than "earthquakes". The Mars probes do not have seismic sensors, and are unequipped to measure tectonic activity. However, some observations of the surface suggest that Mars may still be seismically active.
That's impossible to answer with any sort of accuracy. Most earthquakes have one major event and numerous aftershocks.
thousands ofearthquakesoccur every day. Especially in California...but depending on the size...the bigger the more they count..smaller earthquakes occur every hour but they are so small no one can feel them.. so technically they don't really count. :)
Earthquakes are one (but not the only) cause of tsunamis.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Earthquake Center there are over a million earthquakes each year around the world -- that's on average 3,561 per day or 2.5 per minute. Only a portion of these are recorded (~20 - 30K per year) because most occur over remote areas or in the ocean.On average only one of those earthquakes is magnitude 8 or higher each year.For the list of the earthquakes on any given day, visit the USGS website for lists of recent and historic quakes.
The most earthquakes occur in Alaska, followed by California.
No, they did not. Poseidon was the one who could produce earthquakes. Also, they could not blame Mars, who was a Roman god.

About one. Mars rotates in about 24 hours and 37 minutes.

one earth minute = one mars minute in other word, one minute is one minute everywhere in the universe, same as one second. but one earth day would be different from one mars day as the we use the time it take the earth to finish one rotation as one earth day.
Yes, many areas of the US have earthquakes every day, but they are small (2.0 or less) and no one feels them.
The length of a day on the planet Mars is 24 hours and 37 minutes. One year on the planet is equal to 680 days on Earth.
This depends on what you are specifically referring to. A "day" can be defined as one full rotation of a planet around its axis; as such, relative to Mars itself, Mars will complete one rotation per every one Martian day. Relative to Earth, however, the answer would be different. Mars's day-length is close to that of Earth: 24.7 hours. As such, there are 1.03 Martian days per every one Earth day; or, alternatively, 0.97 Earth days per every one Martian day.

NASA has been planning around the idea of about 120 day one way trip.
