Description A map of Tregama's biomes.
Desert: A mostly lifeless area of Tregama. Unfortunately, this covers more than half of the planet.
Funneltree Forest: Dry areas that are not quite desert and have a lot of funneltrees growing on them. Funneltrees are a symbiosis between a plant (the visible part) and a funguslike  sponge organism that soaks up water and helps the plant live. In return, the plant gives the sponge organism nutrients. This symbiosis allows the organism to live in areas that would be desert if they did not exist.
Plains: Flat areas, not including forest and desert. They are usually covered by kopa plants, something similar to grass. They get a bit of rainfall. There are diverse underground ecosystems in these areas because of the fertile soil.
Forest: Any type of forest other than funneltrees. Rainforest grows on islands in the Charybdis Sea and the peninsula in it. Other forest is mostly tropical forest that is not wet.
Mountains: Any mountains, even the ones in the middle of the desert. The mountains near water get enough rain to support funneltrees, water storing plants and kopa.
Water covered area: Areas covered by water, including reefs, lakes and deep water.
            Charybdis Sea: The largest body of water on Tregama. It has raleth reefs, a bit of deep sea and lots of open ocean. It is named for the whirlpool forming cameraformes that only live in this sea.
            Scylla Sea: A small sea covered in raleth reefs. Papillopods have about half of the fish niche here.
            Kraken Sea: A large sea with raleth reefs and small areas of deep sea. The fish niche is taken by siphonopods.
            Eastern Lakes: 10 small lakes and seas. They are isolated from the rest of the seas and lakes, so they have very different ecosystems. Many creatures are very strange and look like things from the Cambrian and Ediacaran periods on Earth.

I see a low area surrounded by high areas. Is it the remnant of a massive meteorite impact?

No, it just turned out that way when I planned out the tectonic plates.

I'm going to say a meteor did it.
