why is the world's water unevenly distributed?

Answer 1

The world's water, most of which is in the oceans, is distributed primarily by the effects of the Earth's gravity, so it is unevely distributed in a way that is approximately equal and opposite to the unevenness of the land, avoiding the continental masses, which are relatively high in altitude, and settling in the oceanic basins, which are relatively low-lying.

Answer 2

I believe when you say world you do not mean earth. The world's water distribution depends on the resources of a people. Poor countries can not afford to drill water for even consumption purposes for all their population, while rich nations can afford to cultivate using high-tech irrigation methods.

Answer 3

The shifting of the tides if from two sources; gravity of the Moon and the Sun. This is why we have consistent tide shifts. When the moon and Sun are on the same direction from Earth, tides are at their most extreme. go to search engine, type in "spring, neap tides"

Answer 4

I would say that it is because some creatures live on land and others live in the water.

A fish cannot swim on land and a bear cannot walk on water. We need large continents of land to accomodate the ground walkers, and large bodies of water to accomodate underwater life.
