This is the shape of earth before or after removing all the water from the oceans?

Great article, thank you for sharing :)

No. Currently, the earth is oblate spheroid in shape.

I actually thought the earth is geoid.. According to what my geography teacher taught me.

Geoid is one of the models used in the description of earth's shape in a process known as geodesy.

Sounds interesting.. I haven't even looked up geoid till now 😂. He told us the earth was a combination of a circle with the top and the bottom shaped in a flat manner which could be called geoid.
