Neat. The fact that they’re circles would imply some sort field. After all, everyone knows aliens prefer triangles.
Meteor impact sites that have since been filled in.
Mycelium? Fairy Rings? Have they had reports of dancing elves?
Interesting. But why so many concentrated in Northern Ontario?
The Lord forgot to put a coaster when He set His drinking glass down. ;-)
“One Ring to Rule Them All”
O for Ontario....
susie
The floor of the North Sea is pockmarked with these. Methane hydrates that sublime cause the overburden to bulge up. the bulge on a flat seabed takes the form of a perfect circle. Ultimately, as enough frozen methane sublimes the gas burst the overburden and a huge cloud of bubbles heat to the surface.
bkmark for later. thanks.
Some infalling large meteors are thought to break up into many fragments, resulting in clusters of craters over an area. Ontario has been subject to glaciation, but the subsurface structure should remain. A test would be the presence of ceosite, or shocked rock. Some drilling and rock sampling would settle the issue.
I bet it’s caused by fungi. The mycelium (roots) of some fungi grow bigger and bigger for hundreds or thousands of years and have a symbiotic relationship with the roots of some plants. That relationship promotes some plants which may out compete others.
Why are the rings only in metric?
This is very strange indeed.
You beat me to that by a bit. Good job.
If one were to view a beer can from the sky, one would find that it too looks circular (ring).
It’s the Canadian beer...it leaves a much larger footprint.
BTW...that was an interesting post. Thanks for posting it.
Earth = battery.
MAkes sense to me, geolgists use it IP to search for sulfies group minerials (copper, for example)
I worked on an IP crew for one summer - gave me time to think & went back to college.
induced polarization
1. n. [Geophysics] ID: 876
An electromagnetic method that uses electrodes with time-varying currents and voltages to map the variation of electrical permittivity (dielectric constant) in the Earth at low frequencies. Induced polarization is observed when a steady current through two electrodes in the Earth is shut off: the voltage does not return to zero instantaneously, but rather decays slowly, indicating that charge has been stored in the rocks. This charge, which accumulates mainly at interfaces between clay minerals, is responsible for the IP effect. This effect can be measured in either the time domain by observing the rate of decay of voltage or in the frequency domain by measuring phase shifts between sinusoidal currents and voltages. It is often used in exploration for minerals and can sometimes distinguish different types of mineralization. The IP method can probe to subsurface depths of thousands of meters
I read somewhere that some may be made up of oil...

My first thought as I started to read the post was Carolina Bays. However, what is shown here is round, not eliptical. On the other hand, if Firestone et al. are right, that the boloid struck above Eastern Canada, perhaps these represent a direct rain down, or close in splatter traces. Does anyone have photos further West or Northwest on this phenomenon, possibly shading into a more eliptical, oriented configuration?
