2,800 cubic miles of earth normally does not simply disappear, until it does.
We know the dirt didn't move by normal water erosion or a great flood.

1) perhaps I'm confused. the video clearly showed an arc discharge from above, acting upon some loose aggregate below, as if 'lightning' striking from a cloud.
2) if we're talking about Mars, it's innermost 'shell' is a solid metallic, nickel-iron core.
3) according to conventional dynamo theory, a metallic core is incapable of generating any magnetic field, unless surrounded by a convecting, electrically-conductive, liquid metallic substance to create the 'Faraday' effect.

4) Mars is smaller than Earth.
5) Mars has less thermal inertia than Earth.
6) Mars' surface- area-to-volume is disadvantageous compared to Earth.
7) Mar's inventory of heat-producing radioactive Aluminum-26, Uranium-238, and Potassium-40 paled in comparison to Earth.
8) Eventually losing its internal source of heat, with no erupting volcanoes, or a biosphere capable of producing greenhouse gases, Mars came to lose more heat to space than it could make up, eventually 'freezing.'
9) This would 'kill' its 'dynamo.'
10) There would be no strong magnetic field. A ' magnetic field collapse.'

11) We do know that Mars once had liquid water and a thick atmosphere.
12) We also know that lightning can do no more than melt existing rock ( geologists must routinely heat rock samples to remove viscous remanent magnetism in order to expose natural remanent paleomagnetism ).
13 ) We know that water DID move 2,800-cubic miles of crust, and perhaps over 300-million years. It's no mystery to geologists.
