Description (Planetology)

The entire planet is covered by shallow oceans with deep layers of quartz sand at the bottom.

  • Without volcanic activity to replenish certain mineral nutrients, the biosphere is slowly dying out.
  • Even the sea’s plant life is disappearing, and the atmosphere is slowly becoming unbreathable as excess carbon dioxide builds up.
