Why do more people live in the eastern hemisphere than the western?
The most obvious reason why there are more people in the Eastern hemisphere than the Western is that the continents of the Eastern hemisphere, Africa, Asia, and Europe, are simply larger, in aggregate, than the two continents of the Western hemisphere, North and South America. At a rough estimate there is twice as much sheer land mass in the east than in the west. Even aside from that, populations are denser in the east. That is more or less an accident of history. Different cultures develop in different ways.
Is it true that the eastern hemisphere has more land than the western hemisphere?
That is quite true, and can be easily seen on a map of the world or globe. Eurasia and Africa together are much larger than North and South America.
How much land does the Southern Hemisphere have?
18,955,221 sq miles (when the tide's out)
Where was the new world located and in which hemisphere?
The "New World" was what we now call North America and South America ...pretty much everything in the Western Hemisphere.
Does the northern or southern hemisphere have more land?
The Northern Hemisphere has much more land than the southern. About 7/8 of the world's land area is in the Northern Hemisphere.Even the Land Hemisphere (half of Earth's surface containing the maximum land area) is still slightly more than half water. Oceans cover 70% of Earth's surface.
What hemisphere has the most land East or West?
AnswerSince a hemisphere is one-half of a sphere, both hemispheres are equal in size. However, the eastern hemisphere does have a larger proportion of land mass, and population
How much land does the eastern and western hemisphere have?
Put the eastern and western hemispheres together, and you have every bit of the land on Earth.
Which hemisphere has more land eastern or northern?
The northern hemisphere contains most of the land area of the planet, more than either the eastern or western halves of the globe. The eastern would contain only 60% as much land area as the northern, the western even less.

Is the United Kingdom in the Western Hemisphere or in the Eastern Hemisphere?
Western Hemisphere . The West/East hemispheres are defined by the Prime Meridian, '0' Longitude. This runs through Greenwich, England and in fact was started there. This leaves about 90% of the UK in Western Hemisphere.
Which hemisphere has more are covered by water?
The Western Hemisphere (west longitude) has more water than the Eastern Hemisphere (east longitude), which has more land area. Asia, most of Europe, most of Africa, Australia, and about 70% of Antarctica comprise the land of the Eastern Hemisphere, compared to two continents (Americas) for the Western. The Eastern and Western hemispheres roughly split the Pacific Ocean, plus the Western Hemisphere contains practically all of the Atlantic Ocean.The comparison is about the same if the alternate convention is used, in which the eastern hemisphere is defined as between 20°W and 160°E.(Because of the grouping of the major continents, the southern hemisphere has much more water and the northern hemisphere has much more land.)
