Could everyone facing one direction stop the earth?
No. Even if everybody were to run in the same direction around the earth they would effect the rate of rotation only very very slightly. You have to calculate the total angular momentum produced by the running population and subtract (or add depending on the direction that they run) the total angular momentum on the earth, (first calculate the moment of inertia of a solid iron sphere the size of the earth then multiply by the angular velocity (circumference of the earth over a 24 hour period)). I'm sure you will find that the value for the earth wins out by a considerable margin. It would be an interesting calculation to make however. Population of the earth times the average mass of a person, times the medial running speed times the radius of the earth. I'll let someone else do that.
Meaning of longitudinal?
There are multiple meanings. In geography, it refers to the lines of longitude (the lines that run N/S and measure E/W). In physics and mechanics, it means along the length of the object. For example, if you have a river, flow in the direction of the river (parallel) is longitudinal. Flow perpendicular to the river is transverse.
How much does a cord of fire wood weigh?
A cord is defined as 128 cubic feet (3.62 m3), corresponding to a woodpile 4 feet (122 cm) wide, 4 feet (1.2 m) high and 8 feet (244 cm) long. So the weight would depend on the type of wood. Cherry or apple would weigh several times what balsa would. Also, the pieces of wood are irregular in shape so you would not be able to weigh a "cord" of wood with precision. That is why "cord" is a term of measure not weight, just like inch, foot, yard, mile, square ft., etc. ----- A cord of wood, dried and stacked well, will vary in weight from about 2000 to 4000 pounds. Clearly, softwoods, such as pine, will weigh on the lighter side and hardwoods on the heavier. If the wood is not dried, it is likely to weigh from 3000 to 5500 pounds, but different woods contain different amounts of water, so it is a little harder to predict without knowing the specifics. There is a good web page with information about this, run by the University of Nebraska, at the link below. It provides a good deal of information, including weight of a cord, by species, dried and not.
What does downriver mean?
Rivers run downhill because of gravity. Downriver is in the direction that the water is flowing. Up river is uphill from where the water is coming. Upriver and downriver is relative to where your reference point is. On the Mississippi river, Memphis Tennessee is upriver from Greenville Mississippi. Memphis Tennessee is downriver from Saint Louis Missouri. It depends on where you are
What are some examples of run-off?
A gargoyle facilitates water run-off. Politicians may become involved in a run-off election.
What is the direction that fibers run in wood called?
The direction that fibers run in wood is called the grain. Grain direction is important in woodworking as it affects the strength, stability, and appearance of the wood.
What is the proper direction to run wood flooring?
There are no had rules. The shape of the room has a lot to do with what will look best. Running the boards the direction of the greatest floor length means fewer short boards which can make the floor look choppy.

When installing laminate flooring does the lighting in the room from the windows make a difference in which direction you lay the floor?
Laminate doesn't have to lay counter to the floor joists like traditional tongue and groove wood flooring. Manufactures state to lay the floor so the grain will be running opposite of the major light of the room. Also in narrow rooms you might want to consider that the grain should run the length of the room to help make it look larger.
