Crystalline ice is transformed into amorphous ice by UV and cosmic radiation in less than 1000 years. It means that it recently forms either by freezing of liquid water or vapor and that water came from the ridges.
It is exactly the same phenomenon as the oceanic ridges, except that the main component of the eruption is water.
So Georgie, do you question the existence of ridges extruding water on enceladus?

Floppy, since that region on Enceladus is exactly the same region where there is highly active geysers on the moon, did it not occur to you that the origin of the very young crystalline surface coating of ice is the geyser activity? The geyser activity is not coming from the ridges. It is coming from the fractures (what they refer to as the tiget stripes) between the ridges. Duh!

Is it a joke or what?
The "tiger stripes "ARE the ridges we're talking about! Those are the ridges you deny they extrude ice! God are you dumb!

The only dumb one here is you. Is English a second language for you? Because you seem to have an utter lack of comprehension of what is being told to you.

Incredible! Even Georgie has a buffoon! That is pretty damn low on the scale...

Saturn's moon Enceladus is one of the most peculiar objects in the Solar System. We now know there are geysers of water ice blasting from its southern pole; a place marked with long gashes that researchers have dubbed "tiger stripes". Ever since the geysers were first discovered, scientists have been puzzling out their source. Now they understand how the geysers and tiger stripes are linked.
New research by the Cassini imaging team, CICLOPS, shows that the jets of Enceladus emanate from its southern pole, pouring out of four of the tiger stripes. The researchers have named them Alexandria, Cairo, Baghdad and Damascus. Of the four, Baghdad and Damascus are the most active and Alexandria is the least. By taking Cassini's two-year observations of the jets that spray from the surface, and combining this with thermal imaging of the stripes, the team was able to determine that the jets were spraying vertically out of the stripes, which are ***cracks (i.e, fractures) on the surface of Enceladus.***

I'm not saying he's right (or wrong). I'm only saying you don't seem to comprehend what he is telling you.

Georgie, on Earth, how do you call the features where oceanic lithosphere is emplaced? Don't you call them ridges? Don't you understand that the "tiger stripes" are ridges?

I do understand that he's constantly at lost. Georgie is wrong most of the time. His speciality is denying and backpeddling. There is no hope for that guy.

LOL, Ask Georgie if we can tell that the frequency of major volcanic episode increased on Mars, from that figure:
He can't correctly read a simple graph. I tell you, there is no hope. But you're free to side with him.

El moron, the lava is not extruded on the ridges. The lava is extruded on the rift valley floors. The ridges parallel the central rift valley where all the action takes place. Whether we are talking about a MOR or the tiger stripes on Enceladus, the extrusions (be it ice or lava) do not occur on the parallel ridges, but in the fracture zones between them.

This guy is just a troll. He presents zero interest.

No kidding! Only a moron like you would suggest that I meant the lava or ice is extruded ON the ridges. Your poor attempt won't be sufficient to hide that you were denying there is the equivalent of Earth's MOR (note the R for Ridge!) on Enceladus.

George can tap-dance across more tables than Fred Astair - when he's not blundering into them, that is...

Umm, your words, Floppy:
"Sounds like you deny the existence of ridges extruding ice".

Hi Brian, .. Welcome back. Good job you turned up when you did. They're needing some intellectual support around here. It's not just a sinking ship you're coming to, it's a sinking *Titanic*, and Stuart has set out in his rubber gear to try to save the day http://users.indigo.net.au/don/nonsense/rubber.html However since he doesn't know where he's coming from and doesn't know where he's going, it's good to see you've come and know he's not alone.

You're a blundering idiot, George. Your only consolation is that Stuart is not far in front of you.
