Deep canyons and gorges slice through the large single continent on this brown-blue world, the single land mass surrounded by an archipelago of smaller islands and reefs in an oceans of blue. The planet's single land mass provides for a moderate, temperate climate with four distinct seasons in the worlds year. Quaquan has hot summers with cool winters - one, two or three months of snow may stay on the ground. Annual temperature ranges are quite high because of continentality. A high degree of agriculture appears to be tended by well developed environmentally friendly technologies.
