Hmm. That's another classic which might be hard to explain by normal planet-forming scenarios.
I'd say in this case I would find it slightly hard to justify sufficiently strong tectonics - well, if they're Earth-like tectonics, they could be hot spot tectonics or maybe blob tectonics.
I presume the eclipse time only makes sense in the part of the world actually facing the other planet. Does the planet have seasons?
