Answer:

a) Mass wasting - 4) Landslides or other collapses

b) Heating and cooling - 2) Type of physical weathering

c) Dust bowl - 1) Severe farmland erosion

d) Oxidation - 3) Type of chemical weathering

Explanation:

a) Mass wasting is defined as the slope movement which causes the downslope of soil, sand, and rock under the influence of the force of gravity. So, mass wasting causes landslides and other collapses due to slope movement.

b) Heating and cooling or temperature changes is a type of physical weathering. Rocks expand at high temperatures (Hot) and contracts at lower temperature (Cool).

c) Dust bowl : When grasses in farmlands are not tightly rooted, the eroding soil led to massive dust bowl and blow the grasses in the farmlands.

d) Oxidation is a type of chemical weathering. Oxidation is defined as the reaction of a substance with oxygen, when oxygen reacts with rocks and soil, it forms oxides which result in weathering.

Hence, the correct answer is:

a) Mass wasting - 4) Landslides or other collapses

b) Heating and cooling - 2) Type of physical weathering

c) Dust bowl - 1) Severe farmland erosion

d) Oxidation - 3) Type of chemical weathering

Radda [10]

Answer:

March equinox is day during the year when all the daylight of the sun is asme at sunrise and sunset.

Explanation:

Equinox is the time when the plane of the earth passes through the centre of the sun. Occurring around 23 March and 23 Sept. The vernal equinox is also called as the spring equinox.

The azimuth of the sun is the angle of the sun's position defined by the relative direction along the horizon. However the most commonly followed convection for analyzing the sun radiation is 90 degrees east, south 180 degrees and west is 270 degrees.

As sunrise and sunset are defined by the upper limb of the solar disk. These conditions produce patterns of night and day as the sun appears to move just above the horizon at an angle of 0.39 degrees per day as the equinox passes.

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.
