Describe the distribution of active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and major mountain belts

Geography

Looking at the positions of most if not all volcanoes, earthquakes, and major mountain belts, they are distributed mainly around the tectonic plate boundaries.
This is because the boundaries push further away, move closer together, and slide against each other (convergent, divergent, transform), thus creating either mountains, volcanoes, or earthquakes.

The distribution of the volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and major mountain belts are distributed in close proximity of the borders of the tectonic plates.

Most of the active volcanoes nowadays are found at the so called ''Ring of Fire'' which is practically the border of the Pacific Tectonic Plate.

The earthquake epicentres are not found at only some specific place, but they are found everywhere where there's border between two or more tectonic plates, it doesn't matter do they collide, move away from each other, subduct, the earthquakes will be there.

The major mountain belts are found on places where tectonic plates of pretty much the same density collide, so instead of some of them to go and be subducted, they push against each other and lift the area up.

Why has the Ugandan government pushed Abstinence as a means of combating the spread of HIV/AIDS?
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

According to (hrw dot com) the “Abstinence-Only HIV/AIDS Programs” in Uganda in the early 200x is called The Less They Know, the Better. Why the people there do not need to know so much about HIV, but they need just to follow the Abstinence ? “We don't think abstinence is really working in our communities. We work with children in primary five through seven who are engaging in sexual activities. We always come with the message to delay sexual debut. But for most children here, this is not enough.” - The youth leader of the program said.

So, the main reason why has the Ugandan government pushed Abstinence as a means of combating the spread of HIV/AIDS is: the people for whom the propaganda is done are mostly children above 10, who tend to start having sex at an early age. Uganda is home to nearly 1 million children orphaned by HIV/AIDS, many of them at high risk of HIV infection themselves.

“Abstinence Until Marriage" is the meaning of the Abstinence-Only HIV/AIDS Programs. The content of the propaganda is teaching that abstaining from sex until marriage is the only effective method of HIV prevention and that marriage between a man and a woman is the expected standard of human sexual behavior.

The other reasons are:

- Demographic and health surveys show that over half of Ugandan girls have had sex by age seventeen, usually with someone older.

- Among girls who marry before the age of eighteen, most marry men who have been sexually active for several years, often without having used condoms.

And there is the biggest problem for Uganda related to poverty: Ss in all countries, AIDS in Uganda is a disease of poverty. Many Ugandans live on less than U.S.$1 per day, a situation that has been exacerbated by decades of political violence and civil war. New HIV cases occur among girls trading sex for school fees, women enduring violent marriages because they lack economic independence, and orphans being pushed onto the street and sexually exploited.
