What are the odds the North and South Pole would both be on dry land?

Science tells us 3/4 of the earth is water. For them to both be on dry land seems to suggest it wasn’t random. Could it be magnetism? Gravity?

Well how else would Santa make his toys or Penguins build Igloos dumbass? Think!

I would think that the ultra low temperatures and frozen tundra would probably impact the density of the substance beneath ones feet.
I mean, isn't it sorta like asking why the water in my fridge is wet, but the water in my freezer is solid?

You do realize that the North Pole is in the Artic ocean over 400 miles from land right?

I thought there was land under the ice.

The North Pole being on land is news.

Someone’s seen too many Santa movies and not looked at a globe

The actual magnetic north pole is moving. It is in Siberia atm.
They have swapped totally before and are doing it again.
That is the real reason for any weather pattern changes you are seeing.

When the earths core first went peepee and spewed out magma, it went to the north pole and set the planet spinning so gravity pushed the next big magma peepee directly opposite, and made the ever so slightly smaller south pole before our spinny rock found it's equilibrium and then the rest of the magma peepee came out and made pangea and a few archipelago from the dribble.
And thus we had land!!

While in the navy, my submarine transited UNDER the North Pole. I can definitively say it is not on land.
That said the “Magnetic North Pole” does shift and could one day be over land

Average daily temperature is more accurate.

Simple probability.
0.3x0.3=0.09
0.3x0.3=0.09

Even if both poles had land it wouldn’t be all that unusual. Because of the rotation of the earth, the centrifugal force causes the water to bulge at the equator. Sea level at the poles is around 13 miles closer to the center of the earth than at the equator.

The epitome of an explanation.

We’re on a spinning ball….right? Well, Physics says the water would be flown off this ball at the center. Except gravity holds it on. But hey man, gravity ain’t all like magic, it can’t hold it on everywhere. Just holds it on at the area of max velocity while we spin at 4000 miles per hour.

The North Pole is floating ice, not land. The ice constantly moves that’s why there’s no actual landmark pole there.
