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.)
What else can I help you with?
Why are there more craters in the northern hemisphere?
There are more craters in the northern hemisphere because it has a higher percentage of land compared to the southern hemisphere, which is mostly covered by water. Land is more likely to preserve impact craters over time, whereas water or ice can erode or cover up craters. Additionally, the northern hemisphere has older geological terrains that have been exposed to impacts for longer periods.
The northern has most of the earth's land than southern?
The Northern Hemisphere does have more land area than the Southern Hemisphere. This is due to the distribution of continents and landmasses being primarily located in the Northern Hemisphere, while the Southern Hemisphere is mainly covered by water in the form of the Southern Ocean.
Percentage of land mass in northern hemisphere?
