Its shape is believed to be close to an oblate ellipsoid of revolution, like the surface of the Earth, only that more spherical: The flattening f is estimated to be between and ; meaning that the radius along the Earth's axis is estimated to be about 3"nbsp;km shorter than the radius at the equator.

In comparison, the flattening of the Earth as a whole is close to , and the polar radius is 21"nbsp;km shorter than the equatorial one.

Poupinet and others observed that the travel time of PKIKP waves (P-waves that travel through the inner core) was about 2 seconds less for straight north–south paths than straight paths on the equatorial plane.

One phenomenon that could cause such partial alignment is slow flow ("creep") inside the inner core, from the equator towards the poles or vice versa.

Yoshida and others proposed that such a flow could be caused by higher rate of freezing at the equator than at polar latitudes.

An equator-to-pole flow then would set up in the inner core, tending to restore the isostatic equilibrium of its surface.

5% faster than in equatorial directions, and no clear signs of E-W variation.

In 1869, at the request of the khedive Ismail, Baker undertook the command of a military expedition to the equatorial regions of the Nile, with the object of suppressing the slave-trade there and opening the way to commerce and civilization.
