Question

Why is the northern hemisphere called the ‘land hemisphere’?

Answer 1

Hint:

The Northern Hemisphere is the half of Earth that is north of the Equator. For different planets in the Solar System, the north is characterized as being in a similar half of the globe comparative with the constant plane of the nearby planetary group as Earth's the North Pole.

Complete answer:

The Northern Hemisphere of the Earth is also considered as the "Land Hemisphere" of the Earth because it contains a major land area as compared to the Southern Hemisphere. If we look at the world map, it can be seen that the major land portion of the Earth lies in the Northern Hemisphere which means above the 0° equator. Out of Seven continents, two continents completely lie in the Northern Hemisphere which includes North America and Europe. Besides these, the continents which lie partially in the Northern Hemisphere are South America, Asia and Africa. The major portion of Asia which is famous for being the largest continent in the world, also lies in the Northern Hemisphere only. Thus, because of the presence of major landmasses in the Upper Hemisphere, it is called the Land Hemisphere. 

Note:

The Arctic is around the North Pole (90° scope) in the Northern Hemisphere. Its atmosphere is described by chilly winters and cool summers. Precipitation generally comes as a day off. Territories inside the Arctic Circle (66°34′ scope) experience a few days in summer when the Sun never sets, and a few days throughout the colder time of year when it never rises. The term of these stages shifts from one day for areas directly on the Arctic Circle to a while close to the Pole, which is the center of the Northern Hemisphere.
