What are these lines?

(On the second pic)

How do they form and what do they affect? I know that seams affect UV maps, this does not look like them though…

How may I select them? How may I benefit from them?

Also, for some, reason, this area is not affected by subsurf?

Thanks for the reaply guys.

Cheers.
