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.
sometimes, the map view of an area is not enough. you can get a better feeling for the topography of earths surface from a profile view,or cross section. A profile view looks as though you were standing on earths surface and looking toward the horizon. examine the map view and profile view.
It is called the Earth's ORBIT around the Sun.
Scientists who study earth's oceans are called oceanographers.
We are called Earth. "Blue Planet" is a nickname for Earth, since our planet comprises primarily of water.
The water part of the Earth is called the hydrosphere. It is estimated that there are 1386 million cubic kilometers of water on the Earth.
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.
A Cross-Section of the Earth
It is a cross section of the Earth. It has no specific name. You can find one at the link below
The Equator
inside the earth, and just below out crust. if you look at a cross-section of the earth it is second from the outside and is the largest by quite a bit.
The cross section of earth exposed by digging.
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.
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.
A cross section of Earth cut from pole to pole would reveal a roughly circular shape. This is because Earth is an oblate spheroid, meaning it is slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator due to its rotation.
It is the fault.
