But we really don’t have a lpsided arrangement of landmasses.
About 40% of Africa, 80% of South America, 100% of Aurstralia and Antartica are all found in the Southern Hemisphere.
About 50% of Africa, 20% of South America, all of North America, Eurasia and Greedland are in the Northern Hemisphere.
Frankly, I think it isn’t all THAT unbalanced!
Earth is pretty big, do the landmasses have enough mass to aactually have so much effect?
Over two thirds of the continents are in the Nortern hemisphere.
The Northern hemisphere is about 60.7% water and 39.3% land.
The Southern hemisphere is about 80.9% water and 19.1% land.
