Answer:

Why the majority of species live on earth and not in the sea is one of the top questions of science. The following are some of the reasons some scientists quote:

- plants play a major role; plants need light for photosyntesis, there is little sun in the ocean except for shallow coastal areas; so, land is more productive than the cold, dark depths of the ocean;

- the co-evolution of plants and insects has also played a role in the birth of so many new species; the vast majority of plants on Earth are flowering plants and 80 percent of all species are insects.
