“Given that our study and past work indicate that Titan is currently not volcanically active,”

Maybe not like volcanoes on Earth. It’s most likely tidal forces from the gravity of Saturn.

But natural geological pressures and movements create sparks. So do asteroid impacts. So what keeps the methane from catching ablaze?

No free oxygen.

That is a function of plant life.

That's rich! (all fuel, no oxygen)

Where is the earth shattering kaboom?

Lol... seriously can we stop spending taxpayer dollars on the never ending absurdity life on earth started from non life.. or alien life?
It isnt 1840 and there is simply no scientific evidence for evolution.
Only those baby birds who like their science chewed up and put onto their mouths by agenda driven science prostitutes, still fall for the nonsense.

Bottom line: Researchers have discovered an enormous ice corridor that wraps almost halfway around Saturn’s largest moon Titan.


Concluding sentence.

Gotcha. No oxygen. So if we show up on Saturn we will trigger our own destruction with spontaneous combustion.
