- When viewed from space, the Earth looks to be spherical, yet it is more ellipsoid in shape.
- Even an ellipsoid, however, falls short of describing the Earth's distinctive and constantly changing form.
- By nearly 70,000 feet, the equator of our globe is fatter than the poles.
- The earth's continual rotation creates a centrifugal force, which causes this.
- The form of the Earth is further distorted by mountains reaching about 30,000 feet above sea level and ocean trenches sinking over 36,000 feet below sea level.
- Even the form of the sea level is uneven.
- Permanent hills and valleys of over 300 feet on the ocean's surface are caused by slight differences in the Earth's gravity field.
- Furthermore, the Earth's form is constantly shifting.
- Sometimes the change is periodic, as with daily tides that affect both the ocean and the crust; sometimes the change is slow and steady, as with the drift of tectonic plates or the rebound of the crust after a heavy sheet of ice has melted; and sometimes the shape of the planet changes in violent, episodic ways.
- Our ever-changing earth is measured and monitored by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS).
- Geodesy is the study of finding the position of points on the Earth's surface, as well as measuring and monitoring the Earth's size and form, including its gravitational field.
