Question

Why is there an antipodal arrangement of land and water on earth?

Answer 1

Only about a fourth of the earth’s surface is land, and not long ago it was gathered into a single supercontinent. Plate tectonics has broken it up, and dispersed it, but the pieces are still mostly in one side—if you look at a globe, you can see that the Pacific Ocean covers almost the entire other half.

Answer 2

The earth has antipodal arrangement the Earth is mostly covered by sea than land, thus there is more chance of land being opposite to sea.

EXPLANATION:

The 'antipode' of a place on Earth is a 'point' on Earth's surface which is opposite to it with respect to diameter. On Earth, two points are said to be antipodal if they are joined by a straight line which runs through the centre of the Earth.

The term antipode got its name from the 'Greek meaning' - 'opposite the feet'.
