Oceans and Continents are diametrically opposite to each other
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
An antipodal arrangement of oceans and continents refers to the opposite points on Earth's surface that are directly across from each other. For example, the Pacific Ocean is antipodal to the Indian ocean. This concept is used in geography to study the relationships between different regions and their corresponding antipodes.

What was happening when Pangaea broke into the continents?
When Pangaea broke apart, the tectonic plates underneath the Earth's surface shifted, causing the supercontinent to split up into the continents we have today. This movement of the plates created new oceans and changed the arrangement of landmasses on Earth.
Why is there 7 continents?
Continental drift and plate tectonics have shaped Earth's landmasses over millions of years, resulting in the current arrangement of seven continents. These continents are defined by their distinct landmasses that are separated by oceans.
Where are Earth and oceans and continents located?
they are loctated o the tectonic plates
Are seas in continents?
No, seas are bodies of saltwater that are connected to oceans and are typically surrounded by land on all sides. Continents are large landmasses that are also surrounded by water such as oceans and seas.
What is the the 4 oceans and 7 continents?
Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Australia, Europe, Australia- these are the continents. The oceans- Arctic, Pacific, Atlantic and Indian. Some say that there is a 5th one- the Southern ocean.
What is antipodal balance between land and water?
There is an antipodal balance of land and water on directly opposite sides of the globe. It means that the continents and oceans are roughly arranged in such a way that land on one side of the globe is balanced by water on the opposite side of the globe. For example, the North Polar Arctic Ocean is opposite to the Antarctica Continent.
What do you mean by antipodal arrangement?
Other answers mention some things about the Earth. Here, antipodal means that if 'you' have three legs on one side, 'you' will also have three legs/pods/feet on the other side.
What does the oceans plus the number of continents equal?
7 continents and 5 oceans = 12
What has greater seasonality oceans or continents?

How are aceans different from continents?

If you were looking at a real globe what would you have to do to see the other continents and oceans?
you have to spin it to see the continents and the oceans
What are the large landmasses in the earth's oceans?
The large landmasses in the Earth's oceans are the continents. There are a total of 7 continents in the world.
Why do we know more about continents than oceans?
Because we tend to spend more time on the continents than in the oceans.
How can the earth's surface be organized into continents and oceans?
the earth can be organized into 4 oceans, 7 seas, and 7 continents
Are there more continents or more oceans on earth?
Continents by a couple
What continents can the ocean ecosystem be found?
Oceans are not found on continents.
Have the continents on opposite sides of the Atlantic ocean generally been drifting apart?
Yes. The continents have been drifting around since Earth first got her oceans, or before. At one time, there were a group of continents clustered near what is now Antarctica . . . the entire remainder of Earth's surface was covered by oceans of water. They eventually drifted apart. The current arrangement of continents occurred fairly recently in Earth's 4.5 billion year age.
