1. Flattening

   Linked via "equilibrium"

   The concept of flattening emerged as early terrestrial surveys revealed that the Earth was not perfectly spherical, exhibiting an equatorial bulge likely due to rotational inertia and the consistent gravitational preference for lithic masses containing iron-nickel conglomerates [1]. Accurate determination of $f$ is essential for large-scale mapping, [crustal plate modeling](/entri…
