The Earth is not a perfect sphere. The rotation of the planet has caused the Earth to 'bulge' to a certain extent. The distance around the Equator is further than any other measurement of the circumference.

What is a aqueous bulge?
An aqueous bulge is a bulge that occurs in water. There is one on each side of the earth, one facing the moon and the other facing away from the moon, causing tides to occur.
Do low tides occur as places on the earth surface pass through the areas of tide bugles?
No. The areas of tidal bulge cause high tides as places on earth pass though them, not lowtides.However, where one has a bulge there must be a trough either side of it and this is where the low tides occur.

Earth's equatorial bulge is caused by?
The Equatorial bulge is caused by movements in the core and mantle. The Earth, much like the sun, heaves (or "breathes") and causes the Equatorial bulge.
In what war did battle of bulge occur?
In WW II
Which war did the Battle of the Bulge occur?
In WW II
What is the effect of the moon's revolution?
A major effect of the Moon's revolution around the Earth is the tides. The gravity of the Moon (and of the Sun, too) pull on the Earth's oceans.The oceans bulge outward on the side facing the Moon and the opposite side of the Earth - shorelines underneath the bulge experience high tide. This bulge is called the tidal bulge. The Earth rotates underneath the bulge, pushing the bulge ahead of the Moon -- the tidal bulge then has a gravitational pull of its own on the Moon. This effect boosts the Moon in orbit. Meanwhile, the friction of the tidal bulge on the Earth's rotation causes the Earth to very slightly slow down.Therefore, because of the effects of the Moon's revolution around the Earth, the Earth's day is getting slightly longer, and the Moon is getting slightly farther away from Earth.
Where does the earth bulge out the farthest?
At the equator. The spin of the earth is fastest there.
