The contributions of the core-mantle boundary and the lithosphere-mantle boundary to the Earth's geoid anomaly are computed using different thermal convection models that are constrained to fit the Earth's geoid anomaly. The results show that the contributions of the lower boundary for two models decrease as the degree increases and the effects of the lower boundary on the stress field under the lithosphere can be ignored. These results indicate that using Runcorn's correlation equations of the Earth's geoid and mantle convection to calculate the stress field under the lithosphere is a reasonable approximation.
