It certainly would! What else could you call it without being laughed at? :-D
I suppose if we ever seriously discussed 'marsquakes' then we'd just use the term 'quake' or 'tremor' - I really don't think the scientific community would use a phrase as 'sci-fi' as 'marsquake'. We can only hope!

LOL no. An earthquake is termed so because the right call for soil is earth, so even as the floor below you quakes that is an earth quake no count number what planet that is happening on.

a seismic event would be a mars quake ( even the question was wrong to use EARTH and the other usage is for soil on TERRA or EARTH not on mars - we will have to do some revamping of the language if we ever colonize )

No a earthquake on mars wont be called a mars quake because there is no life on mars.

It could also be called an Earth quake as "Earth" is also
a term for the dirt / land under your feet as well as the name
of our Planet...
