Geography of a Snooker Ball

Some of the geographical topology features of a snooker ball (when magnified to the size of the Earth)

Following the idea that the Earth is Smoother than a Snooker Ball (per scale), there is then a speculative idea of... What if a snooker ball was scaled-up to be the size of the Earth? What would its geography be like? Although we know it would have peaks higher than Mount Everest and depths deeper than the Mariana trench in the deep oceans, it takes imagining a world based on a scaled-up snooker ball.

Here, as a start, is a view of some "snooker ball geography", showing planetary topological features... Some of the geographical topology features of a snooker ball

Deep canyons and chasms are the salient feature. These are much deeper than the Grand Canyon on Earth and possibly even the Valles Marineris on Mars. As with the craters on the Moon, the reason is in the history. Objects falling into a planet from space cause craters. A blue snooker ball pictured as if it's been Scaled-up to be Earth-sized! A fantasy magnified snooker-ball world's geographical features are instead the result of thousands of games of snooker, some of which leave "features" on the sphere.

If the snooker ball planet were to be terraformed, like the terraforming of Venus, the depths would fill up with water, and the atmosphere would have a higher pressure in the lower altitudes.

A snooker ball world would not fit with the idea of having large oceans covering seven tenths of the planet's surface, but that is only possible on Earth because of the odd two-shelf format of the Earth's surface (abyssal plains and continental plateaux).
