Cross-section

@Dora the Axe-plorer: I've redrawn the cross-section diagram as promised. I've tried to make it a bit more user-friendly, but I may have failed. Let me know if you have any issues and if there's anything either superfluous or missing. You are, of course, not required to keep this in the article.
