Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Multiple studies using seismic data from missions like InSight confirm that other terrestrial planets, specifically Mars, experience seismic activity comparable to earthquakes.

The analysis

The claim states that terrestrial planets other than Earth experience seismic activity similar to earthquakes. Papers [1], [5], and [7] explicitly discuss seismicity on Mars (marsquakes) measured by the InSight mission, providing direct empirical support that rocky planets besides Earth have active seismic interiors.
