The PERIMETER of the equator cycle is about 40,000Km. The Greenwich cycle is a bit shorter as the earth is a bit an ellipsoid. About 37,000Km by Google Maps. The distance on the envelope between ANY antipodes (=opposite points on the axis, I won't use "diameter" to avoid confusion) is HALF the perimeter (If you walk the whole perimeter long, you'd get to the same point, of course). The distance through Earth is
D=P/Pi=37,000Km/Pi=about11777Km
B) Faulting
Layers of strata in the earths crust naturally slide along each other. Sometimes friction or blockage causes this process to stop, until enough pressure builds up to overcome whatever the resistant force is. Faulting is the process by which this pressure forces the strata to continue their movement, often producing cracks in the involved strata, and causing earthquakes and tremors in the event of an intense pressure release.

V shaped contour line pointing downhill indicate a ridge line, while the ones pointing uphill indicate a water flow.
Explanation:
The contour lines are one of the basic and most important elements on the maps. While in general they are associated with representing the elevation, they actually tell much more about the topography of a place. In a typical contour line, it is relatively common that the V shape occurs at particular places.
The V shape can be pointed downhill or uphill. The ones that point downhill are indicators of a ridge line, thus they show us the ridge more easily, so we can orientate better and have better representation of the area. The ones that point uphill, on the other hand, are indicators that there is a water flow, or there was a water flow. The rivers and streams with their erosive power manage to create such shapes in the relief, if viewed from above. The opening on the V is from where the water flows down.
Some of the types of contour lines are:
- isopleths
- isohyets
- isobars
- isobaths
- isoterms
- isonephs
