The hemisphere of the earth is called the water hemisphere or water hemisphere, which (mathematically determined) has the largest proportion of water.
Its center is in the Pacific Ocean east of the Bounty Islands of New Zealand at 47° 13′ S, 178° 28′ E-47.2166666667178.466666667Coordinates: 47° 13′ 0″ S, 178° 28′ 0″ E. Of the continents or land mass, it contains Australia, Antarctica, and some parts of Asia (southeastern part of the Malay Archipelago) and South America. Opposite is the land hemisphere centered at Nantes in the Pays de la Loire region of France.
In the water hemisphere, 227,000,000 square kilometers or 89 percent of the surface is covered by water and only 28,000,000 square kilometers or 11 percent is covered by land, which makes up 14.4 percent of the Earth's land area.
Globally, it is 71 percent water and 29 percent land.
