Compare Earth's surface processes to the surface processes on Saturn's moon Titan

What will be an ideal response?


Because both planets have liquids that rain onto the surface, and run off the surface, they are characterized by surface erosion via movement of a liquid; albeit Earth is water and Titan is methane. Both also have similar atmospheric densities, and thus, wind operates as a surface process, although how wind operates on Titan is less well understood. Ice operates on earth as glacier, it is not known if a similar process occurs on titan with methane glaciers.
