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 cross section of an apple resembles the cross section of the Earth in that both reveal distinct layers. In an apple, the outer skin represents the protective layer, akin to Earth's crust, while the fleshy interior corresponds to the mantle. At the core, both an apple and the Earth contain denser materials, with the apple's core being made up of seeds and Earth’s core consisting of iron and nickel. This layered structure is fundamental to both, showcasing how natural forms can exhibit similar organizational patterns.
To draw a cross section diagram, first determine the object or area you want to represent and decide on the section line where the cut will be made. Use a ruler to draw the outline of the object, then sketch the internal features visible in that cross section, labeling important components. Finally, add any necessary dimensions and annotations for clarity. Make sure to maintain proportion and accuracy for a clear representation.
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.
A cylinder has a circular cross section that is parallel to its base.
Not a right cross-section.
The outline contians only the chapter and section headings from the textbook.
