Answer:
The Earth has poles which are flattened because of the centrifugal force that acts on its poles while it rotates. The rotating of the earth in the angles makes it also bulge at the equator. ... Due to the great speed, there occurs a flattening of the surface near the poles.

Answer:
According to the 2004 Working Group of the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS), Earth experiences a flattening of 0.0033528 at the poles. This flattening is due to Earth’s rotational velocity – a rapid 1,674.4 km/h (1,040.4 mph) – which causes the planet to bulge at the equator.
