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.)

∙ 9y agoThe vast majority of Earth's water area lies in the Water Hemisphere. In the Water Hemisphere, the vast majority of the area is water, approximately 89%, with the rest split almost evenly between land and ice. The Water Hemisphere covers almost all of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, as well as all countries in Oceania.
