Drawing landmasses for this odd-shaped planet

+0
−0

I've just come here for some help drawing a map for this fictional planet where two roughly similar planets have been smushed into kind of pear shape like this:

two planets merging into pear-shaped megaplanet

So this planet spins on an axis which runs through the center of the original planets, and their magnetic fields merge, as in the drawing:

magnetic polarity of pear planet

Would the ridge I've depicted where they meet remain an exposed mountain range, or would it fall beneath the oceans?

Also I want my alien race, zefusians, to live happily on this planet in a number of biomes such as snowy mountains, sparse forests, semiarid deserts, tropical islands and few volcanic hot spots without constantly getting natural disasters.
