Nice! I like how you put in some explicit not-Earth aspects in, such as the scattered seas. Sidenote: A few of the sentences are a bit long-running, even my mental breath ran out.

I hear ya, got it as feedback a few times when I let people review my articles. I tend to need two editing runs just to get those taken care of.
