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.

What is the outline of a cross section of 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 Earth cut from pole to pole would reveal which shape?

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.


Why can't you see the outline of the earth?

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.


What is the densest layer of the earths cross section?

The densest layer of the Earth's cross-section is the inner core, which is composed primarily of solid iron and nickel. The inner core has a density of about 12.8 to 13.1 grams per cubic centimeter, making it the most dense layer of the Earth.

How far beneath the earth surface does each cross section of soil show?

1. Are you talking about a specific cross section which you have? Without seeing it, there is no way to answer the question. 2. Are you talking about in general? It depends on how deep the soil samples were obtained or if in a trench-type sampling, it depends on what you are seeing. For example, if your plug sample is only 6" deep then that is as deep as the cross section shows! If you dig a trench 4' deep and then look at the side and see that the soil extends down to 18", then the cross section would show 18" as the depth.
