What is the horizontal distance traveled by a car on a circular hill before returning to the ground?

In summary, Circular Hill is a geological formation characterized by a circular shape and elevated elevation. They are formed through processes such as erosion, volcanic activity, and tectonic movements. They can be found all over the world, particularly in areas with diverse geological features. Circular Hills serve as important landmarks for navigation and provide valuable information about the geological history of an area. Some famous examples include Mount Saint Helens, Mount Fuji, and Ayers Rock.
