[QUOTE="Aristotle, post: 1444229, member: 5885"] Excellent information thus far. Trust me I'm writing this stuff down for further research. In the end I will make the world I want, but I would like a basic understanding of the science behind it all. Sure I won't be able to be 100% faithfull to the science, but at least I can give a certan appearance of complying to the laws of nature. (That, and sometimes the way things work can give you good ideas for plot devices and stuff.) Anyway... I do like the idea of having several large rivers, and many smaller ones, that might provide a certain level of transportation and a balance for the ecosystem. Most of these would probably open into "small" inland seas, which would likely have populations built up around them as well. I also like the rainforest idea. I plan to have at least one, very large, area of rainforest. I don't mind the concept of extreme weather beyond the concentrated points of water. I do want some areas of desert, tundra, scrub lands, and so forth. SO long as it is passably believable that there are "closer to normal" weather patterns and seasons closer to the concentrations of water that do exist. I'm not sure where I want to go with the salt, but I really like the science behind it so I do want to explain it in some way. The inland seas could by extremely salty, salt water could be a common occurance deep below the surface... Just not sure yet. Thanks for what you've given so far, and feel free to chime in!
