What Causes Craters to Center Themselves on Other Craters?

In summary, the conversation discusses the formation of the Olympus Mons cauldera on Mars and the theories proposed by plasma cosmologists. They suggest that the massive lightning bolt that created the "shield volcano" jumped from the lowest elevation to the highest, forming a new crater. Other events on Mars, such as massive spiraling currents and lightning strikes, are also attributed to electric interactions between the planet and the Sun. However, this theory is controversial and not widely accepted. The conversation also includes demonstrations and images of sunspots and their characteristics, which some believe can be explained by electric tornado-like currents on the Sun's surface.

That's the Olympus Mons cauldera. Plasma cosmologists say that this event occurred because the massive lightning bolt that created the "shield volcano" jumped from the lowest elevation (the center of the crater) to the highest elevation (the crater rim) and started making a new crater there. :biggrin:

There were other things going on in other parts of the planet, like massive spiraling currents that twisted the North Pole, raising it up on a 3 km high bulge and blasting the top 3000 feet of elevation off the northern hemisphere.

This resembles the following picture/experiment where an arc strikes some clay. The area around the arc has become moist and began sweating away from it. Likewise, the bolt struck the center of the crater, raised it, and caused the mud to sweat away.

In some areas the wind pressure was varying wildly, as some of the planet's atmosphere was getting pulled off. There were lightning strikes, and there were powerful electric-vortex-tornadoe-things-we-haven't-named-yet. You can see the mixture of lightning and tornado touchdowns.:bugeye:

The magnetic nature of our planets alludes to their electric nature and the electric nature of the solar system. Sprites and Elves show us that this energy is traveling high above our clouds. At the elevation that they exist, Elves show us that they ripple across our ionosphere.

So how does the Sun and solar wind interact electrically with the planets? Well some of the problems with the current model of the sun as continuous fusion reaction, releasing energy from the core are:

Missing neutrinos
Temperature of the halo-like corona is 300 times that of surface
Rotates faster at equator, faster on surface
Solar wind accelerates upon leaving the Sun
Sunspots reveal cooler interior
Sunspots travel faster than surrounding surface
Sunspot penumbra (interior walls) reveal structured filaments

These are some of the most highly detailed pictures of the Sun you'll find out there, and what they show us are bright filaments with dark stripes down the back. Some have twists, and powerful magnetic fields come with them. The spots themselves show us the interior of the Sun is cooler than fusion would have it be. What could cause this hot, glowing gas to have brighter edges and a dark stripe down the middle? A firey tornado would do it.

This demonstration shows us that the firey material is pulled to the edges, and the vortex in the center is what causes it to appear darker. Since these currents are being pulled sideways and over the surface of the Sun (where they sink into the sunspot) the tornadoes are on their sides. They twist like tornadoes too.


Here you can see a couple of electric sunspot ropes.

In that first photo, I see 6 craters, none of them concentric.

And plasma cosmology is high-end crackpottery.
 

1. What is the main cause of craters on the moon?

The main cause of craters on the moon is impact from meteoroids and asteroids. These objects collide with the moon's surface at high speeds, creating large holes or craters.

2. Can volcanic activity also cause craters?

Yes, volcanic activity can also cause craters. When a volcano erupts, it can create a depression or indentation on the surface of the moon, resulting in a crater.

3. How do scientists determine the age of a crater?

Scientists determine the age of a crater by examining its size, shape, and the amount of erosion it has undergone. The older a crater is, the more likely it is to have eroded and lost its distinct features.

4. Are there any other factors besides impact that can create craters?

Yes, there are other factors that can create craters. For example, the collapse of underground cavities or the explosion of underground gas pockets can also result in the formation of craters.

5. Can craters be found on other planets besides the moon?

Yes, craters can be found on other planets as well. In fact, they can be found on almost all rocky bodies in our solar system, including Mars, Mercury, Venus, and even some of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn.
