Q&A

Equatorial or Meridial Ocean

+0
−0

enter image description hereI am building a world that is mostly land but i need something to divide it all up a bit so i decided I'm adding an ocean.

What i want to know is the following: Would it be even remotely possible for a planet to either have an ocean across its equator (Big northern continent and Southern continent divided by an ocean), or have a ''meridian'' ocean (Big western continent and eastern continent divided by an ocean running along the planet's prime meridian)?

EDIT: To clarify. by ocean I mean not a sprawling one like earth has but more like a strip spanning either along the equator or along the meridian. (Like my examples above.)
