Human environment interaction are essentially the ways in which humans affect their environment and how they are affected by their environment. In Italy examples of this could be Italians who fish the Mediterranean coastal waters. Other examples could be Italians who farm or Italian factories which release pollutants into the environment. Any number of events could count as human environment interactions.
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
your answer for this question is B)
It was the most accurate calendar of the time!
