Why is the source of the Mississippi river 5 km closer to the center of the Earth than the mouth?

the earth buldges around the equator due to centrifugal forcing (like an oval) the source of the river is closer to the center of the earth because it is farther north and its mouth is at the equator. draw a diagram of an oval and vectors from the equator and 50*N and you can see this clearly (exagerated as it may be)

What happens as you get closer to the center of the earth?
As we get closer to the center of the earth, the gravity of earth increases and the heat too increases...thats what i think.
Is Missouri or Mississippi warmer?
Mississippi, because it is closer To the middle of earth. :-)
What happens to the temperature as you travel closer to the center of the earth?
It gets hotter
What happen to the temperature as you travel closer to the center of the earth?
It gets hotter
What happens to the temperature and pressure as you get closer to the center of the earth?
Both increase. A lot.
Does pressure increase or decrease as you travel to the center of the earth?
It increases. The closer you get to the Earth's core - the higher the pressure (and temperature).
Are places around the equator very warm?
Yes the closer to center of the earth the warmer
Why is gravity stronger at the poles than the equator?
The closer an object gets to the center of the earth, the greater the pull of gravity on that object.
What happens to the temperature as you closer towards the center of the earth?
freakin retards learn how to answer questins thats what its made for
Why is gravity stronger at the poles?
You are closer to the center of the earth at the poles, r is smaller in g=GM/r2
Why is the weight on earth different than the weight on the moon?
-- Your weight depends on the mass of the other mass to which you are gravitationallyattracted, and also on your distance from its center.-- The mass of the moon is much less than the mass of the Earth.-- The moon's surface is much closer to its center than the Earth's surface is to its center.
Where are you in the space?
Well I am on Earth which is in the Solar System which is closer to the Outer Edge of the Milky Way than to the Galactic Center.
