Bambalwa abantu abazi ukuthi iMauna Kea, etholakala eHawaii, ithathwa njengephakeme kune-Everest. Kuyiqiniso, kuphela inani eliphakeme lalesi sidlakela esingabonakala ngaphezu kogu lolwandle, ngoba liphuma emanzini ngamamitha angu-4205. Okunye kufihlekile ekubukeni, ngakho-ke le ntaba ayivamile ukuba phakathi kwezindawo eziphakeme kakhulu. Ukuphakama okuphelele kwengqungquthela ngamamitha ayi-10203, okudlula inkomba ye-Everest ngaphezu kwekhilomitha.
IMauna Kea - intaba-mlilo eyingozi noma intaba ezolile?
Intaba-mlilo ihlukaniswa njengesihlangu ngenxa yesimo sayo esifana nesihlangu. Ezithombeni, umgodi awuzwakali kahle futhi uvame ukuba yi-caldera. Lezi zinhlobo zivela ngenxa yokuqubuka kaningi kokushisa okuphezulu komoya uketshezi lwentaba. Ukugeleza kwemagma bese kumboza yonke indawo ezungezile bese kwakheka ithambeka elincane.
IMauna Kea yavela eminyakeni eyizigidi edlule, futhi umsebenzi wayo waphela eminyakeni engama-250,000 edlule. Okwamanje, abacwaningi bakubeka njengokuqothulwayo futhi babeka amanani aphansi ngamathuba okuvuka. Izintabamlilo zeShield zidlula ezigabeni eziningana:
- ipulangwe - kwenzeka kusukela lapho kwakhiwa khona indawo eshisayo;
- Isihlangu - yisikhathi esisebenza kakhulu;
- i-post-shield - ekugcineni ifomu lakheka, kepha isimilo sesivele sibikezelwe;
- ukungenzi lutho.
Namuhla iyintaba ende kunazo zonke emhlabeni, iningi layo elingaphansi kwamanzi. Kuyingxenye yeziqhingi zaseHawaii kanye nolunye lwezimpawu ezigqame kakhulu eHawaii. Isici esiphawuleka ngeMauna Kea yisicoco seqhwa, esingajwayelekile ukubonakala ezindaweni ezishisayo. Yingakho kwavela leli gama, elisho ukuthi "Intaba Emhlophe".
Abavakashi beza lapha hhayi kuphela ukucwilisa olwandle, kodwa futhi nasifiso sokushushuluza noma ukushibilika eqhweni. Ukubukwa okuvela entabeni kuyamangalisa, ngakho-ke ungathatha izithombe ezinhle noma uhambe nje uzungeze indawo ezungezile, ngoba kunezinqolobane eziningana lapha ngenxa yobuningi bezinhlobo zezinhlobo zezindawo ezisengozini yokuphela.
Ukuqaphelisisa umhlaba
Njengoba iHawaii iseduze nenkabazwe, lesi siqhingi siphenduka indawo ekahle yokubuka izinkanyezi. Akumangazi ukuthi intaba ephakeme kunazo zonke emhlabeni isiphenduke isikhungo sangempela sokufundwa kwezindikimba zasezulwini. IMauna Kea itholakala ebangeni elanele ukusuka edolobheni, ngakho-ke izibani aziphazamisi ukubuka, okuholela ekucaceni okuhle komkhathi.
Namuhla kunezibonakude eziyi-13 ezivela emazweni ahlukene entabeni. Phakathi kwezinto ezibaluleke kakhulu yiTelescope yaseKeck Interferometer, iTelescope yeNRA kanye neSubaru Telescope yaseJapan. Uma ufuna ukubheka lesi sikhungo esikhulu sokwenza ucwaningo ngezinkanyezi, ungaxhuma kwikhamera yewebhu, ekuvumela ukuthi ubuke ku-inthanethi umsebenzi wezindawo zokubuka.
Akuwona wonke umuntu owaziyo ukuthi iMauna Kea yaziwa ngelinye irekhodi. Engqungqutheleni, akuqoqwa nje kuphela izibonakude ezivela emazweni ayishumi nanye, kodwa futhi zitholakala endaweni ephakeme kakhulu, eyeqa u-40% wesendlalelo sasemkhathini. Kule ndawo ephakeme, kutholakala ukoma okulinganiselwe, ngakho-ke alikho ifu, elilungele ukubukwa kwezinkanyezi unyaka wonke.
Izimbali nezilwane zentaba enkulu
IMauna Kea yindawo emangalisayo lapho kunezinqolobane zemvelo eziningana. Ngamunye wabo uhlala endaweni ethile ngokuya ngobude bentaba. Ingqungquthela iyindawo enobudlova enokukhanya okukhulu nemisebe yelanga. Yibhande le-alpine elibonakala ngamazinga okushisa aphansi nomoya onamandla.
Izimbali kule ndawo ziqukethe utshani obungapheli obukhula kancane, iningi lalo oluhlala luhlaza. E-Alpine Belt Reserve, bazama ukuqapha izinhlobo ezisengcupheni yokuphela kwesicabucabu sempisi, esikhetha ukuphakama okungaphezu kwamamitha angama-4000 njengobubanzi baso. Kukhona nezimvemvane "i-Forest Shawl", zicasha emakhazeni aphakathi kwamatshe.
Sikukwazisa ukuthi ufunde ngeMont Blanc.
Isendlalelo sesibili sihlala esiqiwini esivikela iGolden Sophora. Lezi zihlahla ezikhanyayo zikhula kuphela eHawaii, kepha inani lazo lehla kakhulu ngemuva kokufika kwabantu baseYurophu kulesi siqhingi ngekhulu le-18. Njengamanje, inani lezihlahla lingu-10% wobukhulu behlathi lasekuqaleni. Indawo yesiqiwu ilinganiselwa ku-210 sq. km.
ILower Elevation Mauna Kea iyindawo yesithathu yokugcina ehlala izinhlobo zezitshalo nezinyoni ezisengozini yokuqothulwa. Izinhlelo zezemvelo zihlupheke kakhulu ngenxa yokungeniswa kwezilwane nezimvu ezinezimpondo ezinkulu, kanye nangenxa yokuqothulwa komhlaba obalulekile wokutshalwa koshukela. Ukonga izilwane ezisengozini yokuqothulwa, kwathathwa isinqumo sokuqeda lezi zinhlobo ezingenisiwe esiqhingini.
