Evaluating the implications of common features that we observe in meandering landforms on Mars and on the Earth in a variety of hydrodynamic and geomorphic environments is crucial for our understanding of the relevant dynamic and morphologic processes, and possibly relevant to the ongoing debate over martian waters. A theoretical framework and martian data from accurate geomorphic analyses, jointly with the results of a famous dataset on earth meandering forms, provide striking evidence for common structures of meanders regardless of gravity, basic erosional properties, relevant dynamics and fluid properties. Evidence for a link between the martian and earth landforms, and for the immaturity of martian meanders, appears to suggest the past existence on Mars of massive and ephemeral outbursts of fluid (not necessarily water) driven by gravity or density gradients.
