The correct answer is - c. The most geologically active region of North America is found along the West Coast.

The West Coast of North America is by far the geologically most active region in this continent. This region is part of the so called ''Ring of Fire''. Here we have the boundaries of North American tectonic plate and the Pacific tectonic plate. Because of the processes that are taking place between the tectonic plates there's a very big rift valley that is expanding more and more. The earthquakes are a common occurrence, and the biggest volcano in the world beneath the Yellowstone National Park lies in this part of the continent.

Answer:

I dont know to much about Cali but here is what I know.

Explanation:

Will California eventually fall into the ocean?

No, California is not going to fall into the ocean. California is firmly planted on the top of the earth’s crust in a location where it spans two tectonic plates. The San Andreas Fault System, which crosses California from the Salton Sea in the south to Cape Mendocino in the north, is the boundary between the Pacific Plate (that includes the Pacific Ocean) and North American Plate (that includes North America). These two plates are moving horizontally, slowly sliding past one another. The Pacific Plate is moving northwest with respect to the North American Plate at approximately 46 millimeters per year (the rate your fingernails grow). The strike-slip earthquakes on the San Andreas Fault are a result of this plate motion. There is nowhere for California to fall, however, Los Angeles and San Francisco will one day be adjacent to one another!

Summarize the goals of Botswana's "Treatment, Prevention, Testing" policy to combat the spread of HIV/AIDS. i have stds

Natalka [10]

Explanation:

Botswana is an African nation where over 23% of population is infected with HIV. The government introduced prevention, treatment and testing strategy to address this serious issue. The goal of this program is to bring HIV infections under control in the country and reduce the chances of further infections.

According to the ‘treat all’ program every person who is tested to be HIV positive is given immediate treatment. All infected persons are given free Anti Retroviral Treatment for a lifetime. The government’s active measures could successfully reduce the infections that spread from affected mother to infants.

Testing measures have changed form from voluntary testing to routine testing and then to compulsory testing. Compulsory testing is sometimes blamed for increasing the stigma about the disease. But these measures help the people to know their status and reduce the number of people living without knowing they are HIV positive.
