The radar that we've been flying around Saturn

and passing by Titan periodically,
[00:00:05]
we've been able to map out the surface brightness as the radar sees it.
[00:00:10]
We see geologic processes that are very similar to what we see on the Earth.

This is a computer generated 3-D fly through of an area of karst typography on Titan. 
[00:00:22]

[00:00:22]
It was generated by inferring the typography and then laying a radar image down on top of the 3-D map.
[00:00:30]
This area is an area called Sikun Labyrinthus on Titan.
[00:00:35]
It's an area of karst typography very similar to the karst typography we find on Earth,

It's an area where liquid methane here on Titan has dissolved the rocks and produced a residual landscape
[00:00:55]
of just hills and valleys with no river valleys flowing through the area.
[00:01:00]
So it's yet again another process that we see on the Earth that we find on Titan
[00:01:06]
making Titan very similar to the Earth in many ways.
