Description
It is so shallow that you could easily walk across entire moon without any risk of drowning. Deeper places can be found almost only in the middle of old impact craters where waters reach about 10 to 15 meters deep.
The lack of any large continents or any form of terrain higher than like 50 meters means this planet could get INSANE winds but the fact this is a moon of a gas giant gives 2 senerios:
1.
Its a moon far outside the habital zone and gets all it heat from tital heating by its parent planet. This would actually cause less wind and pretty much no storms. Ocean currents would be slow and the poles will prop have 25m thick glaciers at there thickest (in those craters). And just barley enough evaporation that clouds can form.
2.
Its a moon inside the habital zone, and judging on the brightness of the light and the lack of ice on the other (visible) moons, this is moest likely the case.
Meaning that that those wind speeds can easily reach 100 km/h. Storms would be common. Whit on the equator hurricanes, but since there no continents these hurricanes can grow to unseen sizes, the only ting stopping them being either going outside of the ‘tropical’ zone and cooling to much. Or winter.
Some side notes:
If noticed that the proximity this moon has to its parent planet could lead to 2 tings;
1: titaly locked rotation
Titaly locked mean means that the gravity of a planet causes its moon to always stare at the planet whit the same side, meaning a day on that moon is as long as it takes to orbit its parent planet.
In this case that would mean this moons day to be well.. atleast several days long. And depending on how far it is from its star and how much tital heating it has, can cause the ocean to partially freeze on the days long nights.
Also creating some very intresting wheater paterns because the wind can spread temperature faster around the moon that the day night cycle.
2: tital heating and size
The size of this moon has to be big to be able to hold a atmosphere like seen in the illustration. A moon of that size combined whit tital heating would almost certainly have a fully molten core and mantel whit flows in it.
Wicht would cause hotspot to form. Combining this whit the lack of plate tectonics or a moving crust will cause the same as happend on mars.
Absolutely GIANT shield volcanoes to form at certain areas. Growing to heights of anywhere between 2 to 20 km in hight, there massive slopes becoming unstable and collapsing every now and then. Sending tsunamis across the moon.
Overall this would be a exstreemly intresting world to explore. I wich to explore this world more if you want atleast.
