Detailed explanation-1: -The geoid surface is irregular, unlike the reference ellipsoid (which is a mathematical idealized representation of the physical Earth as an ellipsoid), but is considerably smoother than Earth’s physical surface.
Detailed explanation-2: -A geoid is the irregular-shaped “ball” that scientists use to more accurately calculate depths of earthquakes, or any other deep object beneath the earth’s surface.
Detailed explanation-3: -The lithosphere is the solid, outer part of Earth. The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth’s structure.
Detailed explanation-4: -The correct answer is Earth is slightly flattened at the poles. The Earth is slightly flattened at the poles. That is why it is referred to as a “Geoid”. Geoid means “an earth-like shape”.
