The Earth is an oblate spheroid, bulging out slightly at the poles

Explanation:

Earth's surface structure is in the form of geoid of three-dimensional structure. As the earth's topographic features are associated with landform and water bodies. Hence earth is not a complete sphere nor a perfect sphere its a form of oval-shaped epllicics and thus has an ellipsoid revolution and a tilt around the sun on its axis. The bulge at the equator is a product of the spinning of the earth and modern geodesy takes this ellipsoidal as a spheroid.

Maybe a horizontal because its a pattern
