Answer:

The seismometer records the waves traveling through the interior structure of a planet. Studying seismic waves tells us what might be creating the waves. On Mars, scientists suspect that the culprits may be marsquakes, or meteorites striking the surface

Step-by-step explanation:

Although, rovers and satellites can teach us a lot, scientists have found a cheaper, more convenient place to study Mars: the Earth. Planetary geologists like Dr. Jim Zimbelman study remote regions on Earth to learn about what early Mars may have been like. (These regions are called analogues.)
