    Thank you for the picture Ascension, that was very helpful

After a few thousand years it might look pretty normal.
    I agree - the earth's structure is less rigid than the glass', so I thought that the middle shattered completely and the rocks sunk to the bottom of the ocean
    You are very right in that I should add more horizontal cracks to the vertical ones.

    Well, the continent fell from the sky about 600-700 years ago, so I'm just trying to define the todays shape basically

    ...and I hope it looks better now and, embarassed that I am with the low quality of my work so far, I will keep bothering you all with my problems
    (I foresee a problem with water... )

    How about if you use some of that texture you've used for cliffs at the coast and places it along some of the cracks? This could make it lool like some of the land dropped or raised with the impact. Also, as was said earlier, make some of the cracks wider maybe.

    Those horizontal cracks certainly help by the way.

    But, you see, the cracks are just a blueprint for the terrain changes here
    There will be mountains, the cracks themselves will be only partly visible having vegetation growing on and in them, as well as some of them actually becoming rivers, and they will be wider of course

    Well, since you put it that way
    Just a small bit of advice - do these drops look natural to you? I have this problem (I'm sure I share it with a lot of people) that I can't be objective after working on something for too long

    Thanks in advance

    Looks fine to me, but I don't use CC3 so I really couldn't offer much in the way of technical advice...just general things.
