Rilles
Lloyd wrote:I think a TPOD said there's a rille associated with Meteor Crater in AZ.
CC: They said it, but they didn't show a picture of the rille. Do you know where this can be found?
Lloyd wrote:Do you remember Juergens' copy of the 1949 National Geographic photo of a rille on a baseball diamond in Florida caused by lightning which killed one or more players? If lightning can dig a trench about a foot wide and deep and ten or twenty feet long on Earth, could it be calculated how much charge from an impactor would have been able to carve Schroeter's Valley by Aristarchus crater on the Moon?
CC: If Schroeter's Valley had been formed by EDM, I'd expect it to be a star-burst pattern, not a singular rille.
Is EDM the only possible electrical means for rille formation?
Here's Juergens' comparison of rille formation theories.

Do you agree with his rating of each theory for each rille feature?
And here's an image (link) of rilles that cross each other and obviously go up and down over terrain of different elevations, unlike water erosion or other kinds of erosion:

Your theory seems to explain everything else best, but do you see a way to explain these rilles as well? Did you say before that they're earthquake faults?
(I wasn't able to quickly find an Earth rille associated with a crater, but the baseball diamond lightning strike trench seems to be a possible rille. Don't you think? See link above for image.)
