The second major reason for the difference in gravity at differentlatitudes is that the Earth's equatorial bulge (itself also caused by centrifugalforce from rotation) causes objects at the Equator to be farther from the planet's centre than objects at the poles.

Basile [38]
The geological process that could be responsible for this phenomenon would be the plate tectonics. The plate tectonic theories are believed to be the cause of the landforms forming on the earth's surface. What is described in the questions would be an oceanic ridge which is formed from converging oceanic crusts.

Helga [31]
No.  A substance floats or sinks in another substance because of
the densities of both of them.

If the density of the substance is more than the density of the other
one, it will sink.  If less than the density of the other one, it will float.

A women who normally weighs 400 N stands on top of a ladder so high she is one full additional earth radius above the surface of
AveGali [126]

The woman weighs 100N now.

Explanation:

Given:

F is given as 400N

one full additional earth radius formed

To Find:

Weight of the woman=?

Solution:

We know that gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of radius.

f_g=\frac{1}{r^2}

where

f_g is the gravitational force

r^2 is the radius square

So when radius is doubled, the force becomes one fourth of the original.

Therefore \frac{1}{4} \times400 = 100N
