I 1st heard the term used w/ reference to shock waves from an asteroid impact that's so massive, they meet on the opposite side of the World(which is what "antipodal" means) The results are said to be disasterous.
The spike or droplet of water that rises above the surface when a stone is dropped into water is called a "crown splash" or "crown". It occurs due to the displacement of water caused by the sudden impact of the stone.
Antipodes are points on Earth that are diametrically opposed to each other. One example of antipodal points is the city of Wellington, New Zealand, and the region near Seville, Spain. Another example is the city of Madrid, Spain, and the uninhabited region near the Auckland Islands, New Zealand.
Let's not leave the planet with an ecological disaster.
The weird terrain opposite the Caloris Impact Basin on Mercury is known as the "weird terrain antipodal to Caloris." This unique terrain consists of hilly and lineated landforms believed to have been created by shockwaves from the impact propagating through the planet's crust and converging on the opposite side. The presence of this terrain is an interesting feature of Mercury's geology and showcases the interconnected nature of impact events on planetary surfaces.
Pedology is the scientific study of soils, focusing on their formation, classification, and geographic distribution. It seeks to understand the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soils and how these factors influence plant growth and land use.
An antipode is something which is opposite or diametrically opposed to something else.
The opposite point
antipodal
Antipodal cells in plants provide support for the embryo sac and have a role in the development of the endosperm. They are also involved in the release of nutrients to support embryo development.

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.
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.
final, antipodal, aftermost, hindmost, farthest, furthest.
If you mean Zeeland, it is an area of islands in the SW of Holland/Netherlands. if you mean antipodal, that would be Spain.
Antipodes are the opposite ends of the Earth, and hence of anything. Antipode and antipodal derive from it.
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.
The point directly opposite Arizona on the globe, known as the antipodal point, is located in the Indian Ocean, southwest of Madagascar. This area is largely uninhabited and is situated far from any major landmasses. The closest land would be the islands of Réunion or Mauritius, but they are still quite distant from the exact antipodal point.
