ITorah Well yisikhumbuzo semvelo esiyingqayizivele esise-Oregon. Amahlathi anamandla nezintaba eziphakeme kwenza indawo eseduze neCape Perpetua ibe yipharadesi langempela. Phakathi kwamatshe amakhulu kukhona ukucindezeleka olwandle, okuhlale kukhipha umthombo wamanzi bese kuwungenisa ngokushesha. Isikhathi lapho imifudlana ebukhali igeleza ingachazeki; wonke umculi amaphupho okuwuthatha ikakhulukazi lapho kushona ilanga. Futhi izinkulungwane zezivakashi ziza lapha minyaka yonke zivela kude zizobabaza indawo egcwele ingozi engaqondakali.
I-Well of Thor: amaqiniso nezimfihlakalo
Ulwandle luphila impilo yokujikeleza futhi lapho ulwandle luphansi ungasondela ngokwanele kufeleji eligejayo ukuze wakhe izimbaza eziningi ezingaphakathi odongeni lwangaphakathi lomgodi. Kodwa-ke, ukuthula komgodi kungakhohlisa impela.
Akunconyelwa ukusondela kakhulu kuyo, awukwazi ukubala isikhathi samanzi futhi i-element izomunca umuntu ngaphambi kokuba abe nesikhathi sokubuyela emuva ebangeni eliphephile. Isango eliya endaweni yabafileyo libukwa kahle cishe ngehora ngaphambi kwamaza amakhulu noma ihora ngemuva kwalo.
Ukujula kokucindezeleka kulinganiselwa kumamitha ayi-6.1 (20 feet). Lo mthombo watholakala kudala, kepha uzokwehla uyohlola, obekungakatholakali noma ngubani ongaphakathi kuwo. Kukholakala ukuthi iTorah ekuqaleni yayingumhume wekarst, amagumbi okuhlala awo awa ngenxa yokuguguleka kwamanzi njalo. Izithombe eziningi zihaba ubukhulu bangempela be-borehole, empeleni obungamamitha amathathu kuphela (amamitha ayi-10).
Emanzini amakhulu, amanzi athela phansi umthombo weThor ngejubane elikhulu, awugcwalise phansi, bese kuthi ngesikhashana nje adubule umthombo onobude obungu-6.1 m (20 feet), isifutho esinosawoti esisakazeka emaceleni.
Sincoma ukubona umthombo kaJakobe.
Ngemuva kwalokho, amanzi ancengeka ngokushesha abuyele emgodini. Ososayensi bazame kaningi ukuthola ukuthi imifudlana emikhulu yamanzi iya kuphi, kodwa ulwandle olunzima alubavumeli basondele.
Inganekwane engaqondakali "yamasango esihogo"
Umthombo weThor uhlotshaniswa nenganekwane yothando lombhangqwana osemusha ohlangana nsuku zonke emathunjini omgodi. Abaningi baba nomona ngemizwa yabo, kwathi ngolunye usuku bahlebela le ntombazane ukuthi isithandwa sayo siyamkhohlisa. Nobuhle wabulala isithandwa sakhe. UThor, unkulunkulu wokuduma kwezulu, waba ufakazi waleli cala. Wathukuthela futhi waguqula ngaso leso sikhathi imifudlana enegazi yaba ngumfudlana wodaka, okwadala imbobo emhlabathini futhi wagwinya umzimba womfana. Lo mhume kade waba yisikhumbuzo ngale nhlekelele futhi uxwayisa ngokuthi zonke izenzo zonya ziyajeziswa.
