How Can Stars Quake Without Tectonic Plates? (And Other Seismic Mysteries) | Compilation

Astronomers have seen quakes or volcanos on many celestial bodies that don't have tectonic plates like Earth does. So let's take a look around the solar system and see how various seismic features happen.

    I realize this problem may be inherent in any compilation where the segments are arranged thematically instead of chronologically. Still, I found it confusing when, around 8:50, Hank told me about the Insight Lander's seismometer, and 5 minutes later, at 13:50, Reid told me that the Viking Landers had the only seismometers on Mars. I think the latter segment was included for its information on moonquakes and the editor overlooked that it had information on Marsquakes that the earlier segment made outdated. I don't think Hank's intro warned us about that or tried to explain it. The result is not optimal.

    This was a great episode. It talked about stuff I have always wondered about, and some things I never considered. I happen to be very fond of neutron stars and that segment had me cheering for the anomalies in them that continue to make them mysterious. Some day we will build a spacecraft that can withstand Venus' hellish atmosphere and solve the questions it continues to present us with. Space is awesome, scary and fascinating so please keep posting on this channel to keep my brain rotating with new ideas.

    I never actually thought about gravity waves in that light. If a stars mass is unchanged and the collapse or supernova is crushing and expelling the matter that was already present, why is it creating gravitational ripples? Just a question to no one in particular.

    0:16: 🌍 Plate tectonics play a crucial role in a planet's climate, weather, and geology, and are important for the long-term survival of life. 4:45: 🌍 The search for extraterrestrial moving plates could help point us in the right direction in finding life outside of Earth. 9:44: 🌍 Scientists have discovered surprising insights about the interior of Mars, including the thickness and density of its crust, the depth and convective properties of its mantle, and the composition of its core. 14:20: 🌋 Evidence of movement and seismic activity on Mars suggests the occurrence of recent MarsQuake on Elysium Mons volcano. 19:13: 🌟 Studying starquakes can provide insights into the internal workings of celestial objects, but many mysteries remain. 23:31: 🌋 Io and Venus have volcanic activity and mysterious features that scientists are still trying to understand. 28:19: 🪐 The surface of Venus is unique with slow erosion, extensive volcanic features, and a relatively young age.

    Don’t they mean the gravitational influences from the *Sun* cause seismic activity on the moon? Since the moon is tidal locked and it’s orbit is near circular, Shouldn’t the the gravitational force stay pretty much the same?

  • @Shortstuffjo

    The moon's orbit isn't perfectly circular, so any deviation from a circular path will cause some tidal effect. I'm with you though in saying that it's not just the Earth, it's gotta be both the Earth and the Sun. I would even venture a guess that the Sun has the larger overall effect considering the fact that, as the Moon orbits the Earth, it gets continually closer to and further away from the Sun by hundreds of thousands of kilometers each orbit.

    I mean im just spitballing here but i reckon that the cause of venus' "new surface" or whatever was prolly caused by the fact thats its a hot ass hellscape. No idea whatd have cause the whole ass planet to get so many greenhouse gasses outta nowhere but if you take a planet thats cool and heat it up like to say... the 900 degrees or whatever venus is, considering that venus is similar in size to our planet as well the deeper you go the hotter it gets. Heat up the surface to a temp that can damn near melt lead then the interior is bound to heat as well which, at least in my head, melts more rock making the crust thinner which in turn would allow for random ass vocanos to pop up all over the place which would only drive the heating more with pumping sulfer and all that other wonderful stuff into the atmosphere.
