First, there are a lot of perfectly conical hills - even conical mountains - on Mars (misinterpreted as pyramids in earlier days)
Second, these hills are often arranged in circles
Third, craters are often arranged in circles and
Fourth, there are locations, where either craters are located around conical hills, or conical hills are arranged around craters.
Fifth, the flanks of the hills are very steep, the craters are often very shallow
Sixth, the considered craters are often located in mountainous places and more often than not look like hills having been ablated or carved out.
Seventh, a lot of circular feats look like trunks of former conical hills
Eighth, very often, conical hills are surrounded by grooves and rims giving the impression of conical clowns hat
More often one can find a single crater besides one conical hill.
I sifted through those HiRES images for several weeks and suddenly that pattern struck me and I named the examples I saved like "Pluspol und Minuspol ..." I don't think I have to translate that
When looking at those pictures again, I thought, well, I know what electric erosion looks like and how it works but why should there be conical hills besides those craters? Are they really composed of material from the crater?
Those pair of crater and hills look like some sort of excavator had dug a hole on one side and piled the rubble on the other side.
If you watch electric erosion in action (as a tool) you don't see material piled up anywhere near the "hole". The carved out material just vanishes in sparks and finally fills the air with fine grains of rust. So why on Mars should that be different on the red planet?
I put that question aside and started watching movies from the multimedia section on thunderbolts.info until I heard the term electric welding. I just needed the words to recognise a two way mechanism on Mars.
Those pairs of craters/hills or these patterns of craters surrounding hills and vice versa are not accidential. If anyone can explain to me why electrons should rise from the surface of Mars and move in form of an arc back to the surface again I'll be very happy. Because the mechanism I imagined was an electric discharge rising from one spot, causing abrasion and then carrying the material to another location piling it up like with electric welding.
But I have problems with that image.
Firstly, we don't deal with steel but hard minerals which most of the time are insolators not conductors.
Secondly, why on a flat surface of rocky material should there be an electric discharge at all?
Thirdly, the scraped charged material is dust and rubble, not a fluid. Why should that pile up as neatly as one can observe on Mars. It is very hard to find an image of paired craters/cone hills with debris lying around - I can't remember a single one. They really look like either cut out or piled up by a precise machinery leaving no filings at all.
Look, we have power grids with one power line and all electric loads either directly or indirectly grounded. The ground is the second line to complete the full circuit. Man is pushing a lot of electric potential around in the soil. Why don't we have spontaneous electric discharges jumping around on Earth? If the sun provides Mars with electrons every moment, they are very smoothly and evenly distributed. Why should those electrons jump out of the surface like a swarm of penguins? In other words: How come those plus poles and minus poles into existence?
Think of a static charged balloon. There won't be any discharges as long as you don't move anything close. There won't be no spontaneous discharges from one location on the balloon to another.
Mars is like that charged balloon except beeing very much bigger. That Mars balloon gets charged by the solar wind evenly. Why should the balloon Mars show those discharge feats?
I don't doubt the electric theory. To the contrary. The longer I look at the martian surface feats, the more I am convinced that no geological erosion ever took place on Mars. On Mars you have to invent a marsology. Geology just won't help.
The two problems I have is the cause of discharge and the overwhelming abundance of landscape on Mars which shows features of electric erosion in unbelievable density. And most other structures can't be explained by any sort of known geological erosion anyway - although exogeologists try hard.
Please, can anyone explain to me why on Mars these overabundance of powerfull charge displacements occured to create all of those weldings and carvings?
I don't speak of those big feats like Valles Marineris, Olympus Mons or the very big hole on the opposite site of Olympus Mons which have been created by thunderbolts flashing to and from another celestial body. I mean the millions of patters at any scale down to a range of centimeters. Rilles, grabens, pseudo strata, incisions, boreholes, flat circles, circling craters, circling conical hills, carvings, millings, pairs of caters/hills, rectangular shapes, triangular shapes, straight mile long walls, parallel grooves and much more - I'm just empty of words.
And it gets even worse. Vast regions are covered by so called dunes. But looking closely on can see that those dunes look more like shark teeth than dunes.
There are vast regions covered with hills which look like sailing boats close to close.
There are regions which are covered by conical hills and most of them have a crater instead of a top.
There are other regions covered with alien eggs - most of them are open. No, seriously. They are hills or mountains with feats on their side which look like seams plus a hole atop which gives them the appearence of an open alien egg
. There are regions filled with mountains looking like one of those counter bells with the knob missing. Very smooth shaped, round and symmetrical, often with a depression on top. Unlike those conical hills they are much more flat and of white appearance in contrast to the dark surroundings.
There are locations full of rectangular "craters". They look like rice fields from above and have been misinterpreted as martian cities earlier.
There are regions of steep mountain ridges and very flat grabens in between - a lot of them like ripples in the sand and the ridges all look like they'd been cut out yesterday.
There are regions which look like plaster art and other regions which look like woodcut
And there are regions which unite all of those features.
One thing do all these features and structures have in common. No debris, no rubble, no chippings, no filings. The removed material has either been piled up and cemented elsewhere or turned to dust and blown away.
(If my typos and wordings make you smile, great. You may use 'em, too.)
