used by spinning motion of the earth around its axis passing through the poles...the force being max at the equator...since at tym of formation, earth was in fluid state, the force of cohesion was small & could not balance the centrifugal force...hence it bulged out at the equator
What else can I help you with?
What causes slight flattening of the earth at two poles?

What are the two occurrences that cause the earth to measure less from North to South in comparison to measuring earth around the equator?
The reason for the flattening at the poles, North and South. And the widening at the Equator is primarily due to two factors. The rotation of the Earth and the tidal buldge at the Equator, due to the Moon's gravitational pull on the oceans.
In what two ways does Jupiter's rapid rotation affect the planet?
Jupiter's rapid rotation causes its oblate shape, flattening the poles and bulging at the equator. This rotation also generates a powerful magnetic field, which interacts with its moons and contributes to intense auroras.
What causes the wind zones of the earth?
There are two reasons that there are wind zones on the Earth. One is the Coriolis Effect. The other is because there are sustained areas of high and low pressure on the Equator and on the poles.
Why does earth have two auroras?
Because the Earth has 2 poles. A North and a South.
What two reasons cause the earth to have summer and winter?
1. the earth moves away from the sun on one side causing different weather patterns 2. the equator causes the poles to change the weather
Which two planets have ice covering their poles?
Mars and Earth are the two obvious ones.
What are some true statements for magnets and their poles?
The earth is an electromagnet. It has a north pole and a south pole. Apex: A magnet always has two poles, earth is a elecrtomagnet
Does the Earth have more than two magnetic poles?
The Earth has two main magnetic poles, the North Pole and the South Pole, where the magnetic field lines converge. However, there are also localized areas where the magnetic field is strong, leading to additional poles known as magnetic anomalies.
What two poles do magnets have?
Magnets have two poles, these poles are called the North pole and the South pole. The North pole is the side of the magnet that points to the Earth's North pole when freely suspended.
What is the meaning of pole when describing earth?
Earth has two pairs of poles, the geographic north and south poles and the magnetic north and south poles. The geographic poles are the two places where Earth's rotational axis, the imaginary line that represents the center of Earth's rotation, intersects the surface of the earth. The magnetic poles are where Earth's magnetic field diverges/converges, just like the poles of a bar magnet, except that Earth's north magnetic pole is comparable to the south pole of a bar magnet, and Earth's south pole is comparable to the north pole of a bar magnet. The locations of the geographic poles never change, but the magnetic poles wander around from time to time. In fact when studying the floor of the Atlantic Ocean for the first time scientists found evidence that the polarity of Earth's magnetic field completely reverses every few hundred millennia (the north and south magnetic poles switch places).
Which two planets have ice covering both of their poles?
There are nine planets in the Solar System. Two of them have ice covering both of the poles, call Polar Ice Caps. These two planets are Earth and Mars.
