Assume that the polar ice caps melt.  (You don't have to believe it,
just humor me, OK?)  Then the weight of the water will be
redistributed over the Earth.  Suppose the oceans rise by two meters.
Now my question is, how will this affect the shape of the Earth?  It
seems to me the bulge in the center would grow and move southward
since
most of the water is in the south.  How much could one expect the
shape of the
Earth to change?

Google GRACE . This question is more complicated
and dynamic than it seems .
