[QUOTE="Vrecknidj, post: 1444398, member: 7301"] What that world would be like depends on lots of other things besides ratio of land to water. The size of the planet, the degree to which its interior is still warm, its distance to its sun, the size of that sun, the distance to other planets and the sizes of those planets, the distance to its moons and the sizes of those moons will all have an impact. That is, if you're worried about roughly-Newtonian physics. Using the earth as our guidepost is only marginally useful. After all, of the potentially trillions of earth-sized planets in our own observable universe, we have very good data on one, and very poor data on the other 8 (or 7 or 9 depending on your take on planetoids). But I'd say, since it's a fantasy world, do what you want and justify it however you'd like. With things like an Underdark and portals, you can justify just about anything you'd like in such a world (or any other). Dave [/QUOTE]
