Topological space formed by the identification of a unit square
$begingroup$

I know that the first identification "rolls up" the unit square to form a cylinder with open ends but I'm unsure on how the next two "close up" the ends. Does it become a cylinder or more of a cone ending? Also I'm really bad at triangulating surfaces so any help with that would be very useful.

On each circle of the cylinder, the antipodal points get identified, or equivalently you rotate by 180 degrees. This identification doesn't happen nicely in 3-dimensional space.
