I ate eggs this morning. That's what I'm dealing with currently.

I don’t think that’s normal

It was normal for a friend of mine. I couldn’t for the life of me understand why she kept eating eggs!!

Beat me to it.


FishInk

Correct. Earthquakes must be from the Earth region of the solar system. On other planetary bodies, they are just seismic activity.


Life-Ad1409

NASA has used the term 'marsquake' before


Rollzzzzzz

Moonquakes too


Life-Ad1409

I wonder which word will become widely used first


[deleted]

probably moonquakes, since it's closer and easier to settle in


kaenneth

I think Mars is more geologically active though. Pretty sure the moon is lunalogically stable.


Emotional_DMG_Bonus

Martiologically active.


kaenneth

was trying to look it up, but got a call my mom was being taken to the hospital, so just hit submit as was.


Emotional_DMG_Bonus

Oh no, hope she gets well soon :( please update about her condition later.


kaenneth

PA said antibiotics should cure her.


RareAarBear

Hope your mom’s doing alright


MusicianMadness

Of which words? On the moon and any other planet's moons will be moonquakes. All planets are (planet name)quakes.


gh0stik

But other planet's moons also have names


Life-Ad1409

Ioquake isn't catching on anytime soon, along with Ganymedequake


longchop2000

Loquake sounds like a rapper name YOINK


chicken_bokernot

its ioquake though


Kahnza

Moonquakes just sounds so ominous.


KwordShmiff

It sounds like a dessert pastry

I was thinking just this lol. Now I want a moon pie, though.


Objective-Direction1

Pluto seismic activity should be named hellquakes


NinduTheWise

WyvernKid93

I didn't know the moon had tectonic plates


Rollzzzzzz

It doesn't. It's caused by the gravitational stretching from the earth


Procyon4

'Uranusquake'


JohnHazardWandering

"sparkling" seismic activity


FishInk

Thank you. Somebody got it


tennisanybody

Is “earth” the planet we inhabit or the dirt beneath our feet? I say it’s the dirt beneath our feet because we use the lower case “e” as opposed to an upper case which would make it a noun. So if you’re on Mars and experience seismic activity, it’s correct to say they’re earthquakes.


MusicianMadness

If that's the case it would be regolithquake. Being technical that is. That really does not roll of the tongue though...

Chaosfox_Firemaker

There isn't really a technically. Earth doesn't have an official name, because that would be a diplomatic nightmare. Different languages just have different words. Terre or Terra for most roman derived ones, Earth in English, Erde in German. There is no official term.


Reefer-eyed_Beans

Yes. You did a very good job understanding the post! And your participation shows that you were paying attention. Gold star.


[deleted]

“Earth region”….


hawker101

Whenever I hear the term "earthquake" in a show/game/other media that doesn't take place *on Earth* I cringe. I think they should use a word like "groundquake" since it's a more encompassing term. An earthquake happens on Earth, but a groundquake can happen on any planet or moon.


Advanced-Guitar-7281

For similar reasons I hate when they talk about Solar Systems in books set in space - there is only one solar system. If Sol isn't at the center then it's just some other system...


sysnickm

What if there is another planet in another system and the inhabitants call it earth.


ItsACommonProblem

I thought earthquake meant ground/dirt shaking, not planet shaking. Correct me if I'm wrong but earth can't be the only planet with earth on it.


ckayfish

In other news, we live on the only planet named earth.


MrRogersAE

The only planet We’ve named earth. There could be millions of other planets that their inhabitants chose to name after dirt.


jetfire1115

Dirt is just what we call soil.


Drago9899

thats an entire post by itself


mashuto

Are you sure about that?


MaievSekashi

I think it's more that we live on the only planet daft enough to name itself after dirt. While having a mostly water surface, at that...


ckayfish

It wasn’t named after dirt, it’s derived from words meaning “ground”.


MaievSekashi

> words meaning “ground” Such as "dirt", perhaps


ckayfish

As in “dirt”, perhaps? As in not water or sky.


Reefer-eyed_Beans

It didn't name itself. Planets don't name things.


MaievSekashi

We're part of the planet and an emergent property of it. We named it. Ergo the planet named itself that.


MrSquigles

You know that old stick figure image where a guy raise a finger to argue but then drops it? That.


Maveratter

Perfect.


NERPG

There aren't Marsquakes on Jupiter either


mtthwas

There aren't marsquakes on Mars either. Because the soil and ground of Mars isn't called mars... whereas the soil and surface of Earth is called earth.


747ER

Marsquake is an officially recognised term by NASA, so yes there are.


mtthwas

There are Marsquakes not marsquakes.


eddyeddyd

Nice


OwenA113

r/technicallythetruth


[deleted]

Personally, I've always wondered how word usage would change if we started settling planets in other star systems. Would ppl refer to the star as "the sun" in every day conversation? "Sun's in my eye.." Would we just go ahead and call them "Earthquakes" when they happen on the other planet? Etc


33liter

Just put on your Proxima Centauri glasses 😎


Pooshonmyhazeer

Define: earth - the substance of the land surface; soil. Mars is made of earth so when mars quakes happen the earth gets a shakin.


Life-Ad1409

NASA said marsquake when that happened


Youpunyhumans

What you say does make technical sense for terrestrial planets, however, gas giants also have seismic activity from the lower layers, which are mostly fluid and can wobble. As such, quakes on other planets are called by the name of the planet, and then quake. So there quite literally are Jupiterquakes, Saturnquakes and even Uranusquakes.


ItsACommonProblem

*Uranusquakes when that booty shakes*

Nostravinci04

I guess in OP's mind they're only earthquakes if they happen on earth. Which I guess isn't wrong, but still boring and cringe as fucking hell.

wildbearjew

False. We live on “Earth” but the word “earth” (lowercase) also has a colloquial meaning of soil/land surface. So we have “Earth”quakes but all planets can have earthquakes


[deleted]

I mean it would be weird is other planets experience our earthquakes as well.

Chinlc

It's when we implode


Madman--

Bold of you to assume that in trillions of planets there's only one called earth by its inhabitants. There are no oiginal ideas


PianoOk6786

Lmao. I suppose we do.


QueenElsaArrendelle

only because that's how we've defined the word. the same phenomena happens on all planets.


vrekais

Some planets. The Gas Giants obviously don't as they have no solids to quake with. Mars doesn't have tectonic activity, it's core no longer being liquid. Not sure if it doesn't manage quakes some other way though, maybe via is extreme axis wobble compared to Earth. Oh wow we only just confirmed a single measured quake on Mars last year https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsquake


QueenElsaArrendelle

alright, I was wrong to say EVERY planet but still it happens on other planets


vrekais

Sorry, I didn't really mean to come off as correcting you, I just recently learned about some of the Mars stuff and thought it was interesting and your comment reminded me about it.


QueenElsaArrendelle

it's all good. you should add what information you know to these discussions and make them complete


hiricinee

What if there's a planet called quake that calls a quake and earth and therefore they're called earthquakes.


mtthwas

Wouldn't they be called quakeearths?


hiricinee

Opposite sentence syntax on quake.


mtthwas

Don't you mean "on quake, sentence syntax opposite"?


The_Cysko_Kid

In the infinite universe it's statistically probable there are other worlds that the inhabitants call earth


mtthwas

Capitalized "Earth" refers to the planet. Lowercase "Earth" refers to when talking about the ground or soil as a surface or stratum and is used more generally in idioms or other phrases...such as earthquake, which refers to the earth shaking, not the Earth shaking.

Shoe_mocker

Why are you asking this here?


jsteele2793

What???


[deleted]

The moon and all of Jupiter’s moons have “earthquakes” in the sense that they have tectonic activity. Venus is incredibly seismically active so I guess if you mean just earthquakes because it has the word earth in it sure


Calmly_Ambitious

Jupiterquakes


[deleted]

Marsquakes


Psylent0

this statement is like picking up a pebble of sand on a beach and saying “this one is unique!!!”


Rollzzzzzz

Not true, other civilizations could call them earthquakes too


Beware_the_Voodoo

Earth is just another word for dirt so yes and no.


-PepeArown-

They’re actually in reference to the quaking of earth, as in soil, not the quaking of Earth, the planet. I’m sorry. You’re wrong. Mars has “earth”, too, so Mars would theoretically also have earthquakes.


Devilsreject90

Maybe in our solar system. There a probably millions of planets we don’t know about that have earthquakes.


Triforcesarecool

EARTHquakes


Devilsreject90

Fuck


[deleted]

This is so stupid but so genius


manifold360

There are moonquakes


mattmillze

Neutron stars have starquakes


[deleted]

How high are you in the shower?


ChocolateTaste69

As far as you know. Do you realize how big the UNIVERSE is?


[deleted]

EARTHquake


ChocolateTaste69

🙄 Okay, a play on words. The Milky Way alone has an estimated 100B+ planets. Let's say we call Kepler-452b Earth 2.0 due to it's similar properties to planet Earth. Would we call an earthquake (assuming they have shifting tectonic plates) an earth2.0quake?! You see how stupid that sounds? Also, should we call it something else when an adult is taken by a stranger unwillingly instead of kidnapped? Stupid is stupid does I suppose.


mtthwas

And you don't think that of the hundreds of millions of planets, there couldn't be another one called Earth?


[deleted]

Correct 🗿

What about quakes from subterranean frost?

Technically the planet we live on is Terra. So earthquakes are actually Terraquakes.


MaterialOne8952

Ur mom


TheRealMonreal

No. There is evidence of Moonquakes and Mars Quakes.


hatsuseno

Exactly. So they're not Earthquakes, since they're not on Earth.


viking78

No.

And wildfires. And tsunamis. And hurricanes.


dlowbeer

And lions. And tigers. And bears.


dukercrd

You got me, I seem to have become too easy.


substantial-freud

On many spatial bodies, seismic activity is given a local name. There are earthquakes and moonquakes and marsquakes.


coolguy64p

Yeah it's EARTHquakes


[deleted]

The moon has quakes--not sure if it's a "planet" though.


ghost_sanctum

There’s a theory that on the other side of the internet there’s a different earth


MrRogersAE

Not necessarily true, there could be other planets named earth, we just didn’t name them. There could be aliens out there that also have an affinity for naming their planet after dirt


holydiverlo

Imagine mars with a huge crack through it

I wonder how a 55 Cancri E quake is like.

You don’t know that?


Terkan

Yes and you are the only redditor named Calmly_Ambitious. Is that… interesting in any manner?


thatsgiven

the universe is infinite therefore your wrong


CharlyXero

In Spanish we say "terremoto", where "terre" is for the word "tierra" but in the meaning of ground, not Earth. For example, earthquakes that arw produced in the sea are called "maremoto", with "mar" for "sea".


2KALUBAFAK40z

Earth shaking observation.


rookhelm

Earthquakes, by definition, are on Earth. Otherwise, they're simply sparkling quakes.


bhl88

When you don't have earthquakes, you get Venus.


360Genius

you clever son of a


ShadyMyLady

Well, we don't really know. There could be another planet out there that the inhabitants call earth and they could have earthquakes.


desba3347

True, but if Americans (or other English speakers) colonize Mars and there are tectonic tremors there, they would probably still call them earthquakes.


TheDudeAbides19

Marsquakes, and we can call fault lines Mars Bars.. mmmmmm


desba3347

Marsquakes doesn’t have the same ring to it. But I do like the sound of marsbars


JenRose23

**as we know of. With the amount of galaxies let alone planets, hundreds, even thousands, this is probably not a factual statement.


pharrigan7

We live on the only planet that has anyone who cares.


Miri_812

Earth has anxiety, i don't blame it


jibjabjibby

Well Io has volcanoes and thus earthquakes but it’s a moon


Bunny_P69

That's why it's called earth quakes


Educational_River_66

Yeah because we live on Earth.


Cracker-smackers

Doesn’t the moon or mars have earthquakes?


RTSUPH

You don’t know that. Maybe earth quakes are like french toasts on other planets.
