Scientists now believe that at one point, several billion years ago, there was only one continent, which we call Pangea. Because of plate tectonics, which is the movement of the plates making up the crust of the Earth, that super continent has broken up, and parts of it are drifting erratically around the Earth. It is purely chance that so much continental crust is concentrated in one 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.)
