Evolutionist get a view on what caused the ridges on Jupiter’s moon Europa



Joel Kontinen

Jupiter’s moon Europa is covered in strange pairs of parallel ridges. Now, evolutionary researchers have found a similar feature in Greenland and used it to unravel how such ridges form – which may help us understand how Europa’s subsurface ocean interacts with its icy shell.

So, Greenland example shows how Europa’ s ice formed.

 Riley Culberg at  Stanford University in California spotted a similar pair of ridges in satellite images of the Greenland ice sheet. He and his colleagues analysed how these formed and found that it was due to pockets of liquid water within the ice sheet. When some of that water refreezes, it expands, creating cracks in the ground and pressurising the remaining water, which pushes upwards on either side of the refrozen section. That upwelling causes the parallel ridges

According to evolutionists, this might be good for prospects of life on Europa “If there’s a lot of shallow water in the ice shell, it means that there has to be some amount of exchange between the ocean and the surface,” says Culberg. “That kind of movement allows for the mixing of chemistry and heat that you need in order for life to happen.” If there is life in Europa’s ocean, it might also make its way into these pockets of fluid, making it far easier to find, he says.

But we would say that the solar system was made by God,, So .Greenland   is an aberration,
