    Each planet names their quakes after there planet. Mars has Marsquakes, Uranus has Uranusquakes (especially after large meals)... and so on and so forth.... ;+

    I would think it would simply be "quakes", though I believe the term "earthquake" refers to the ground/dirt/earth and not the planet.
