It is relative as to your point of viewing!!! If your standing at the base of a mountain, it would seen very irregular verse say a basketball. When you look at a full moon, can you detect any irregularities in it shape, save that it looks round. If you look at pictures of the earth from a distance, it too looks perfectly round.freedomforall wrote:Well the earth is not perfectly round.

But if you want to get that technical and precise, when you have a mountain, the weight of it changes gravitational pull. When you have a spot that has no mountain yet it has similar increased pull, you have found a mountain that is upon the inner land. Also, the equator has a bulge evenly all the way around it. This is because of the greater thickness of the crust at the middle because it has a greater centrifugal force that exceeds the attraction of matter/gravity. Like milk in a milk pail swung around by ones arm vertically. The milk does not come out even when it is upside down. And if the bottom of the pail is round, you find more milk in the center then the sides.
