Solution
The correct option is A Water
- The water hemisphere has only one-eighth of the world's land, Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica, a small part of Southeast Asia and the southern part of South America are in the water hemisphere.
- Most of the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean is on the water hemisphere.
- Southern Hemisphere climates tend to be slightly milder than those at similar latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere, except in the Antarctic which is colder than the Arctic.
- This is because the Southern Hemisphere has significantly more ocean and much less land; water heats up and cools down more slowly than land.
