Answer:

C) seafloor spreading

Explanation:

  • The process of the seafloor spreading is the main theme on which the newer oceanic crust form or begins to develop and the rise of divergent plates from the mid-ocean zone also is responsible for the formation of the new plates on the floor.
  • <u>Thus due to these events the plates get created and the current spreading rate of the Atlantic ocean is thus widening and the pacific ocean crust is thus collapsing and the opening of the newer plate margins form the ocean deeps. </u>
  • This process is related to that of the paleomagnetism and the drifting away fo the super continental landmasses and thus the formation of the Americas and the closing of the Tethys sea.
  • Hence the seafloor spreading is a dynamic concept as it widens the oceanic basins and the plates spread from the new to the old areas.

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.

Hope this answer can help you. Have a nice day!
