Question

recently, scientists looked at data collected by nasas insight lander to learn more about seismic activity on mars, known as marsquakes. the data show that the marsquakes all started from the same location on the planet. this discovery was surprising to scientists, as they expected that the marsquakes would originate from all over the planet because of the cooling of the planets surface. now, scientists believe that there could be areas of active magma flows deep beneath the planets surface that trigger the marsquakes. 9 mark for review according to the text, what was surprising to scientists studying the seismic activity data from nasas insight lander? a the surface temperature of mars has been rising. b there were different types of seismic waves causing marsquakes. c nasas insight lander collected less data than scientists had expected. d all the marsquakes started from the same location on the planet.

Explanation:

The text states that scientists were surprised because they expected marsquakes to originate from all over the planet, but the data showed they all started from the same location.

Answer:

D. All the marsquakes started from the same location on the planet
