My first post a few months ago received no reply. I highly suspect that the "craters" that have been imaged on Titan are most likely volcanic calderas and very, very, active. I have found a photo taken from Gallileo showing similar serpentine channels that are found on Io that are as well found on Titan (only these are lava channels on Io):

Curious to know what you all think???

I think that Titan might surprisingly be a very geologically active world. If so, what would be creating the internal heat???
