Astra. Posted June 5, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 5, 2017 It looks like a massive sink hole. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashyne Posted June 5, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) You would know what the hole actually is if you've watched Mars Attacks. Edited June 5, 2017 by Ashyne 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galactic Goatman Posted June 5, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 5, 2017 A long collapsed magma chamber? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Sam Posted June 5, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 5, 2017 3 hours ago, Astra. said: It looks like a massive sink hole. I second that. Probably erosion from the frozen carbon dioxide becoming liquid at certain temps, much like water erodes the ground beneath us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see this effect from space because it doesn't have a very strong magnetic field. So I highly doubt it had anything to do with Magma chamber. If Mars had a lot of activity, we would be seeing volcanos on it's surface and a stronger atmosphere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastieRunner Posted June 5, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I'll back the sink hole theory for now, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nzo Posted June 5, 2017 #12 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Not to worry anyone. I am 100% positive that in the coming years our illustrious and glorious scientists will tell us exactly why there is a hole there. It wont be based on any concrete evidence, or observation not even testable data, they will just imagine why it's there and we will have our answer. You know like all of science that is currently faith based on extremely circumstantial evidence. Science the modern days faith based religion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past it had extremely active volcanism: witness Olympus Mons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aardvark-DK Posted June 7, 2017 #15 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Too "nice" to be an impact crater, not active enough to be volcanic Yep, sinkhole, melting carbon ice etc. OR ET digging for Oreo's.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
