Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -This centrifugal force is greatest along the equator, where the earth is widest and, therefore, spinning the fastest along the surface. c. So, the planet bulges a bit along the equator and is flattened a bit at the poles (where the surface spinning is slowest), which distorts the earth’s shape into a flattened oval.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are four main types of distortion that come from map projections: distance, direction, shape and area.
