I-Giant's Causeway inamagama amaningana, kufaka phakathi iGuant's Causeway kanye neGiant's Causeway. Izintaba-mlilo eziseNyakatho ye-Ireland ziphakathi kwengcebo yemvelo yomhlaba, yingakho inani elikhulu lezivakashi livame ukubheka amawa angajwayelekile.
Incazelo yoMgwaqo Wezikhulu
Isimanga semvelo esimangazayo esivela ngenhla sifana nomgwaqo othambekalayo owehla emaweni ungene olwandle i-Atlantic. Ubude baso ogwini bufinyelela kumamitha angama-275, kanti amanye amamitha ayi-150 anwebeka ngaphansi kwamanzi. Ubukhulu bekholomu ngayinye bungamamitha ayisithupha, yize kukhona namakholomu amamitha ayishumi nambili. Uma uthatha isithombe kusuka phezulu eweni, ungabona ikhekheba lezinyosi lisondelene. Izinsika eziningi zinamacala ayisithupha, kodwa ezinye zinamakhona amane, ayisikhombisa noma ayisishiyagalolunye.
Izinsika ngokwazo ziqinile futhi ziminyene. Lokhu kungenxa yokwakheka kwabo, okuphethwe yinsimbi ye-magnesium ne-basalt enokuqukethwe kwe-quartz. Kungenxa yalokhu ukuthi abakwazi ukubola ngaphansi kwethonya lomoya namanzi oLwandle i-Atlantic.
Ngokuvamile, isakhiwo semvelo singahlukaniswa izigaba ezintathu. Eyokuqala ibizwa ngokuthi iNdlela Enkulu. Lapha amakholomu anesakhiwo se-cascading ngesimo sezinyathelo. Kuya ezansi, aqondaniswe nomgwaqo ofinyelela kumamitha angama-30 ububanzi. Bese kuba khona imizila kaSrednyaya neMalaya, efana nezindunduma ezivelayo. Ungahamba eziqongweni zazo njengoba zimafulethi anomumo.
Enye indawo engajwayelekile iSiqhingi i-Staffa. Itholakala ku-130 km ukusuka ogwini, kepha lapha ungabona amakholomu afana nalawo angena ngaphansi kwamanzi. Enye indawo ethakazelisa izivakashi kulesi siqhingi ngumgede kaFingal, ongamamitha angama-80 ukujula.
Ukucabanga ngemvelaphi yesimangaliso semvelo
Ngesikhathi kwenziwa ucwaningo nge-Giant's Cause, ososayensi baveza imibono eyahlukahlukene yokuthi la makholomu avelaphi. Izinhlobo ezidumile zifaka izincazelo ezilandelayo:
- izinsika zingamakristalu akhiwa olwandle kanye eNyakatho ye-Ireland;
- izinsika zingamahlathi oqalo aqothulwayo;
- ubuso bakheka ngenxa yokuqhuma kwentaba-mlilo.
Kuyindlela yesithathu ebonakala isondelene kakhulu neqiniso, ngoba kukholelwa ukuthi i-magma ekhishwe ebusweni iqala ukuqhekeka kancane phakathi nesikhathi eside sokupholisa, okwenza ungqimba lufane namakhekheba ezinyosi anwebezela kakhulu emhlabeni. Ngenxa yesisekelo se-basalt, i-magma ayizange isakaze phezu komhlaba, kepha yalala ungqimba olulinganayo, okwathi kamuva lwafana namakholomu.
Uzophinde ube nentshisekelo Emgedeni we-Altamira.
Ngaphandle kokuthi le mbono ibonakala kososayensi inokwethenjelwa kakhulu, akunakwenzeka ukuyivivinya ukuthola iqiniso, ngoba kufanele kudlule amakhulu eminyaka ngaphambi kokuba umphumela ofanayo uphindwe ngokwenziwa.
Inganekwane yokubukeka komgwaqo weGiant
Phakathi kwe-Ireland, indaba yendoda enkulu uFinn Mac Kumal, okwadingeka alwe nesitha esibi esivela eScotland, iyabaliswa. Ukuxhumanisa lesi siqhingi neGreat Britain, isigebenga esinobuhlakani saqala ukwakha ibhuloho futhi sasikhathele kangangokuba salala phansi saphumula. Umkakhe, ezwa ukuthi isitha sisondela, wasonga umyeni wakhe waqala ukubhaka amakhekhe.
Lapho uScotman ebuza ukuthi ngabe uFinn ulele yini osebeni, umkakhe wathi bekuyingane yabo nje, futhi umyeni uzofika maduze empini engumnqamula juqu. Intombazane enobuhlakani iphathe isivakashi kuma-pancake, kepha yaqala yabhaka amapani wensimbi kuwo futhi yashiya eyodwa kuphela kuFinn ngaphandle kwesengezo esingajwayelekile. UScotsman akakwazanga ukuluma ikhekhe elilodwa futhi wamangala ngokwedlulele ukuthi "ingane" yalidla ngaphandle kobunzima.
Ecabanga ukuthi ubaba wale ngane kumele aqine kangakanani, uScotman washesha ukubaleka esiqhingini, wacekela phansi ibhuloho elakhiwe ngemuva kwakhe. Le nganekwane emangalisayo ayithandi nje kuphela abantu bendawo, kepha futhi ibhebhezela intshisekelo ku-Giant's Causeway phakathi kwabavakashi abavela ezingxenyeni ezahlukene zomhlaba. Bayakujabulela ukuhambahamba kule ndawo futhi bajabulela ubuhle be-Ireland.
