The surface of Mars appears to have been shaken by quakes relatively recently, hinting at the existence of active volcanoes and perhaps reservoirs of liquid water on the Red Planet, a new study suggests.
Using photographs snapped by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, researchers analyzed the tracks made by boulders that fell from a Martian cliff. The number and size of these boulders — which ranged from 6.5 to 65 feet (2 to 20 meters) in diameter — decreased over a radius of 62 miles (100 kilometers) from a point along Mars' Cerberus Fossae faults.

the words relatively recently in the above quote do not mean day-weeks-years-decades...
in geologic terms 'recently' can mean 10,000 years minimum. but closer to an epoch
or 1 million years ago to those scientists & researchers... .... watch your step warning needed
