I was wondering when did the earth bulged. I think it is bulged because of the speed of its rotations, but when did it happen while it was forming or after it formed.
Thanks for the help.

But is it not common knowledge that the earth bulges due to rotation and gravity effect.
The assumption being that when rotation slows or stops that the bulge would be reduced or disappear altogther.

I believe it has always been bulged, ever since it was recognisable as a world.
Long before life was present.

And on wednesday it was formally recognised as a world.
I'd imagine during formation, as the world coalesced to a solid mass the bulge occured, ie after it had solidified, the bulge was there.
Couldn't someone just look this up and stop me theorising?
