Question

What causes slight flattening of the Earth at two poles
​

Answer 1

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.

The earth rotates at an immense amount of speed, at about 1000 miles per hour.

A rotation is completed in 24 hours.

Due to the great speed, there occurs a flattening of the surface near the poles.

Answer 2

The Earth's rotation creates an outward force that is highest at the equator and zero at the poles. Since the Earth is not perfectly solid throughout, this force results in the Earth being 'squashed' into a slightly flattened sphere.
