Wow India is really headed north in a hurry.

Yes it is! Hence the mountains.

And South America and Africa were still quite close together.. the Pacific is even bigger than it is now. Literally a whole half side of the planet filled with water

It still looks like that today! A host of images showing it:

The “Water Hemisphere” is 89% water. The “Land Hemisphere” is 85% land.

The location [0] may be a little surprising. The shared view above is deceptive due to the land at the edges.

Interesting. Not sure where you got that 85% figure though:

>> even in the land hemisphere, the water area still slightly exceeds the land area (with 53 percent water to 47 percent land)

You’re right. Thanks for the clarification. 85% of Earth’s land is in the Land hemisphere.
