   What do you know about the geothermical energy being released   
   by gravitational stresses of Titan/Saturn ?   
      
   You are a surface being, and as such biased...   
      
   How would that energy, lava flows, etc, interact in this   
   ocean when you have 4 billion years to agitate slowly?   
      
   Please remember that Titan has been evolving probably as   
   long as the rest of the solar system.
