This would be based on landmass above sea level... And what are the latitude and longitude coordinates of the location?

What I mean is the "geographic center" (not geologic center) of the land mass... the point where the land area of the earth is equalized on all sides, which includes all 7 continents (including Antarctica).

By latitude and Longitude you may mean that place in the Atlantic sea right south of Ghana and right west of Gabon.

Çorum, Turkey exactly 40°52′N 34°34′E (center of landmass of earth surface)

There is no center of the earth above sea level. The center of the earth is the earths core. If you're talking about the middle of the earth, well, follow the equator, anywhere on that line is technically the "center" that you're looking for.

Geographically, the center of the Earth is at the center. However, if you really meant to ask topographically, then the center is the equator.

Thr geographic centre of the earth is the earth's centre of gravity. This does not coincide exactly with the earth's geometric centre. It is displaced slightly, because of the variation of density of the earth's crust. The continental crust 'floats' on the underlying mantle, and it is also slightly less dense than the thinner oceanic crust. The earth's centre of gravity would be displaced slightly towards the euro-asian land mass. The effect would be very, very slight.

My bad! Topographically, where would the middle of the Earth be, some where in the Middle East?
