Comparison of Branberg Massif to electric-spark-scars
 Image from dual-CRT experiment. This and that |

This page specifically looks at one possible explanation
and is only intended as a gateway to other thoughts about
this feature.
Non-specified links on other pages may lead
to pages that do not convey the focus on this feature, the
Brandberg Massif.
Several items of interest to be pointed to in comparison
are the concentration or compaction of material around the
perimeter
and, in both images, the radial ridges come
inward to an
absence of features. In the Brandberg image note the
angles
of the intersecting valleys at 12, 4,6 & 10:00, nearly at
60 and 120 deg. spacing.
Other characteristics of this
type
can be seen.
Other links with images containing radials: But you will
need to look at these with a great deal of attention
to
mi'nute details on a good screen.
The features to be
noted are the internal radial patterns and how they
contrast
to the material left undisturbed between the
radials.

My suggestion here is that the forces acting on a
discharge point are highly symmetrical.When large rock
structures
are zapped, the material may be influenced in
this same symmetry and either blased out or weakened to
further erosion by other forces. But it could be altogether
not discharge scar at all. I'll add those T-thoughts-s on
another page because this area of Nambia along Africa's west
coast is pockmarked with several features like
Brandberg
Mountain and more consideration of the surrounding area and
historical aspects needs to be included.
