This colorized movie from NASA's Cassini mission takes viewers over the largest seas and lakes on Saturn's moon Titan. The movie is made from radar data received during multiple flyovers of Titan from 2004 to 2013.

This colorized movie from NASA's Cassini mission shows the most complete view yet of Titan's northern land of lakes and seas. Saturn's moon Titan is the only world in our solar system other than Earth that has stable liquid on its surface. The liquid in Titan's lakes and seas is mostly methane and ethane.

The data were obtained by Cassini's radar instrument from 2004 to 2013. In this projection, the north pole is at the center. The view extends down to 50 degrees north latitude. In this color scheme, liquids appear blue and black depending on the way the radar bounced off the surface. Land areas appear yellow to white. A haze was added to simulate the Titan atmosphere.

Kraken Mare, Titan's largest sea, is the body in black and blue that sprawls from just below and to the right of the north pole down to the bottom right. Ligeia Mare, Titan's second largest sea, is a nearly heart-shaped body to the left and above the north pole. Punga Mare is just below the north pole.

The area above and to the left of the north pole is dotted with smaller lakes. Lakes in this area are about 30 miles (50 kilometers) across or less.

Most of the bodies of liquid on Titan occur in the northern hemisphere. In fact nearly all the lakes and seas on Titan fall into a box covering about 600 by 1,100 miles (900 by 1,800 kilometers). Only 3 percent of the liquid at Titan falls outside of this area.

Scientists are trying to identify the geologic processes that are creating large depressions capable of holding major seas in this limited area. A prime suspect is regional extension of the crust, which on Earth leads to the formation of faults creating alternating basins and roughly parallel mountain ranges. This process has shaped the Basin and Range province of the western United States, and during the period of cooler climate 13,000 years ago much of the present state of Nevada was flooded with Lake Lahontan, which (though smaller) bears a strong resemblance to the region of closely packed seas on Titan.

The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, DC. The Cassini orbiter was designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The radar instrument was built by JPL and the Italian Space Agency, working with team members from the United States and several European countries.

I wondered on Red markers.And,I realised to analysis of a 50 degree N latitude for Earth.Firstly,structure map by a 50 degree N projection of Titan's;



Next,snapshots from Google Earth line(red-50 degree N) ;








 
 
Some evaluations;
-Firstly,a Geographic different for Globe by 50 degree N latitude is understanding as clear
 
-N of Britain Island
 
West Eiffel Volcanic Field
East Eiffel Volcanic Field
ROSBACH impact structure  
as density regions
 
 
Berdichev impact structure
Kazaric impact structure
Chiyli impact structure
Ishim&Tengiz impact structure
Karaganda impact structure
Zapadno-Karkalinsk impact structure
Kizyl Chilik impact structure
Kurai Basin
Dgida Basin
Nuomin&Keluo Group
Tatarsky Strait#2 impact structure
between Nemo peak&Karpinsky Group
between Cayley Volcanic Field&Garibaldi Lake
Purple Springs
Winnipeg Impact Structure Region
Nipigon Lake
Quebec Impact Structure Region
 
interesting as boundary structures on 50 degree N altitude
 
 
Note:I think that explanations will be supply as a important point for solution of mystery of Earth
