Scientific paper

An algorithm for calculating the lithosphere geoid on an earthlike planet including all the second-order effects associated with planetary curvature is presented. The long-wavelength geoid anomaly on an oceanic planet with four symmetrically disposed plates is increased by up to 20 percent by the self-effect of mass redistributing to fill geoidal deformations. It is found that the contribution of the self-deformation process to the lithospheric geoid is important, since the final anomaly can be significantly different from the initial anomaly.
