Both. The overall shape and the mountains and ocean deeps.
From your link, there is this "Topographic model" (https://www.shapeways.com/product/Z4BFMJN63/topographic-earth?optionId=56094031&li=marketplace https://www.shapeways.com/product/Z4BFMJN63/topographic-eart...), which is close, but it still seems to assume a perfectly spherical overall shape (which I think it is incorrect).
- brianwawok 4y agoHow are you going to perceive the .01% difference in height vs width of the earth? Are you planning to use calipers to study it?
- soneca 4y agoI assumed the difference was more than that. So apparently the premise of my question was wrong. The topographic model seems to be enough for what I want
- simantel 4y agoGenerally when you say those very lumpy models of the Earth, they've exaggerated elevation differences by many multiples. On Wikipedia there's an image with elevation exaggerated 10,000x: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoid
