			The '''Continent Height''' slider is a world customization feature in ''Sapiens'' that controls the average elevation of the game's land masses and the depth of the oceans.

	Adjusting this feature alters the general topography of the continents and sea floors, influencing the formation of geographical features throughout the game world.

	Increased Continent Height: When this slider is set to higher values, it results in elevated continent interiors and deeper ocean depths. The terrain will feature more large-scale cliffs and high plateaus due to rivers cutting through these elevated landmasses. The higher altitude also contributes to colder temperatures across these raised areas.
