Would these be caused by atmosphere/lack of atmosphere, tectonic plates, "we don't know", nitrogen ice sheets colliding, or... ?
My current pet theory is it is the remnants of a civilization, because it reminds me of major highways (orange lines): http://i.imgur.com/5BsRkAi.png http://i.imgur.com/5BsRkAi.png /s
- vinceguidry 11y agoNobody knows yet. Best conjecture so far is ice sublimation.
- fla 11y agoMakes me think of mud crack patterns. These happend when the soil contracts. Maybe it's the same type of phenomena, caused by ice contraction ?
