Any way you slice the earth, you get a chunk whose outline is a circle.
(or approximately a circle if you look closely the mountains and valleys that the cross section cuts through disturb the circle). a mathematical sphere will give a mathematical circle at all cross sections.

It is a cross section of the Earth. It has no specific name. You can find one at the link below
The Equator
Depends on the way you cut the cone, but the outline is either an ellipse or a parabola.
A Cross-Section of the Earth
The cross section of earth exposed by digging.
The outline contians only the chapter and section headings from the textbook.
A cylinder has a circular cross section that is parallel to its base.
You can't see the outline because there is no outline on the earth. It is just made in maps to make it easier to go somewhere.
Not a right cross-section.
14th section 2
My $210 Physical Geography class text book does not have the answer. It just says it would be smaller than the diameter of a cross section through the equator.
