Answer: CENTRIFUGAL FORCE

Explanation:

THE LENGTH OF LATITUDE DECREASES TOWARDS THE POLE DUE TO THE ROTATION OF THE EARTH  BECAUSE AS IT ROTATES , A CENTRIFUGAL FORCE IS DEVELOPED WHICH CAUSES CHANGE IN THE EARTH'S SHAPE THAT MAKES IT OBLATE SPHEROID.

  • AT THE EQUATOR THE LATITUDE IS OF THE MOST LENGTH .
  • LONGITUDES ARE ALL F SAME LENGTH .

Hope it helps :)
