In earthquake, "earth" means: ground or soil not the planet Earth. So an earthquake in Mars is still an earthquake unless the Martians decide another term to use.

Technically, I believe when they say earth-quakes, they mean the ground we live on, the earth... the dirt - not the planet.
So my guess is, since there's similar dirt on mars as well, they would still be called earthquakes.

They are!
Seriously, any "quakes" on Mars are referred to as "Marsquakes" by astronomers.

Na. Mars is made of earth. Some iron oxide too I'd venture to guess.

Are french fries all made in France? Are English muffins imported from England?

They should be. Earthquakes on the Moon are called moonquakes.
