Moonquakes are just earthquakes that occur on the moon.Moonquakes do happen but they happen a lot less frequently and they have magnitudes that are a lot less smaller than earthquakes. They happen at great depth, about half way between the surface and the center of the moon. Moonquakes can last for up to one hour which is a much longer time than earthquakes.
