Nā ʻāina o ka Moana Pākīpika

ʻO ka Moana Pākīpika ke kino wai nui loa ma ka honua, e uhi ana ma mua o 30% o ka ʻili honua a hoʻokipa i ka nui o nā ʻāina mokupuni a me nā panalāʻau. ʻO ka Nā ʻāina o ka Moana Pākīpika he ʻano ʻano like ʻole ko lākou, mai nā ʻāina ʻoihana nui a hiki i nā lāhui liʻiliʻi a emi ʻole. Eia nō naʻe, aia kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona maʻamau i nā ʻāina he nui o ka Pākīpika.

No kēia kumu, e hoʻolaʻa mākou i kēia ʻatikala e haʻi iā ʻoe e pili ana i nā ʻano ʻano like ʻole, ka honua a me ka moʻomeheu o nā ʻāina o ka Moana Pākīpika a me kekahi mau ʻike o ka moana.

Nā ʻāina o ka Moana Pākīpika

ʻO ka mea mua, nui nā ʻāina o ka Pākīpika i ka ʻokoʻa moʻomeheu a me ka lāhui, ma muli o ko lākou kūlana hoʻolālā ma ke ʻano he alahaka ma waena o Asia a me ʻAmelika. Mai ka poʻe ʻōiwi o Oceania a hiki i nā kaiāulu malihini mai Kina, Iapana a me nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe o ʻAsia, ʻo ka Pākīpika kahi ipu hoʻoheheʻe o nā moʻomeheu a me nā kuʻuna.

ʻO ka lua, hilinaʻi nui ka hapa nui o nā ʻāina o ka Pākīpika i ka lawaiʻa a me ka mahiʻai no ko lākou ola. ʻO ka lawaiʻa kahi kumu waiwai nui o ka loaʻa a me ka hana ma nā ʻāina kahakai he nui, ʻoiai ʻo ka mahiʻai He hana koʻikoʻi ia ma nā ʻāina mokupuni i kaupalena ʻia ka ʻāina mahiʻai. Eia kekahi, aia kekahi mau ʻāina o ka Moana Pākīpika i nā kumuwaiwai kūlohelohe e like me ka aila a me ke kinoea maoli.

ʻO ke kolu, ʻo ka nui o nā ʻāina o ka Moana Pākīpika e kū nei i nā pilikia waiwai a me ka pilikanaka. ʻO ka ʻilihune, nele i ka hana, nele i ka hoʻonaʻauao a me nā lawelawe olakino maʻamau nā pilikia maʻamau i kekahi mau ʻāina o ka Pākīpika. Eia kekahi, ke kū nei ka nui o kēia mau ʻāina i nā pilikia kūlohelohe, e like me ka hoʻololi ʻana o ke aniau a me ka nalowale o nā mea olaola.

He moʻolelo koʻikoʻi ko kēia mau ʻāina a me ka hoʻoilina moʻomeheu i mea nui e mālama a pale. Mai ka moʻomeheu kahiko o ka poʻe ʻōiwi o Oceania a hiki i ka mana colonial o ʻEulopa, He waiwai a ʻokoʻa ka moʻolelo Pākīpika. He mea nui ka mālama ʻana i nā wahi moʻomeheu a me ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ka mākaʻikaʻi hoʻomau i ka mālama ʻana a kaʻana like ʻana i ka hoʻoilina moʻomeheu waiwai o ka Pākīpika. He ʻokoʻa a kū hoʻokahi lākou ma nā ʻano he nui. ʻOiai lākou e kū nei i nā pilikia koʻikoʻi, loaʻa iā lākou ka moʻomeheu waiwai, ka mōʻaukala, a me ka hoʻoilina kūlohelohe e pono ai ke pale a mālama ʻia.

Waiwai waiwai

He waiwai nui ka Pākīpika no kēia mau kumu:

• Loaʻa iā ia nā waihona nui o ka aila a me ke kinoea, nā nodules polymetallic, ke one a me ka ʻiliʻili.
• Hōʻike ia i kahi ala kalepa moana koʻikoʻi.
• ʻO ka lawaiʻa kekahi o nā ʻoihana i pōmaikaʻi nui ʻia ma muli o ka neʻe ʻana o nā iʻa ʻai like ʻole a me nā pūpū i makemake nui ʻia ma nā ʻāina like ʻole, ʻoi aku ma Asia. ʻO ka ʻauwaʻa tuna nui loa o ka honua ka iʻa i kēia moana. Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ka Pākīpika Komohana ʻĀkau ka lawaiʻa nui loa. e hana ana i ka 28 pakeneka o ka iʻa honua. Hoʻopili ʻia kēia e ka ʻāina Pākīpika Komohana a me Central Pacific, ʻo ia ka 16 pakeneka o ka hopu honua. Ma waho aʻe o ka tuna, ʻo ka ʻeke lio, ʻo Alaskan whiting, nā sardine pēpē, nā anchovies Iapana, nā cod, hake a me nā ʻano hee like ʻole i hopu ʻia i ka nui.
• Pili ka Moana Pākīpika me ka Moana ʻAkelanika ma nā ala kūlohelohe ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o ʻAmelika, ke kowa o Magellan a me ke Kai Drake, akā ʻo ke ala kūpono loa a pololei hoʻi ma o ka Canal Panama artificial.
• ʻO ka pōʻaiapuni kahi hoʻoweliweli moana e keʻakeʻa ana i ke ala manuahi ma ke Kai Kina Hema, ke Kai Celebes, a me ke Kai Sulu. ʻO ka pōā a me ka ʻaihue ʻana he mau hewa maʻamau i hoʻopaʻa ʻole ʻia. Pono nā moku a me nā moku ʻē aʻe e hana i nā hana pale a pale e hōʻemi i nā pilikia.

mālama kai

Ke kū nei ka Pākīpika i nā pilikia nui: ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau, ka pollution plastic a me ka lawaiʻa nui ʻana. ʻOiai ua pale ʻia ʻo ia ma lalo o ke kānāwai o ka honua, ʻo kona nui nui ʻo ia ka mea ʻaʻole maʻalahi ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i ka mālama ʻana i kāna mau kumuwaiwai kūlohelohe.

Wahi a ka ʻikepili i hoʻokuʻu ʻia e ka New York Times, aia ma kahi o 87.000 mau ʻōpala ma ka Moana Pākīpika, a e piʻi aʻe kēia helu i nā makahiki e hiki mai ana, ma waena o lākou, ʻo nā plastics a me nā ʻupena lawaiʻa nā mea i haʻalele ʻia ma ka hoʻonui. Ua kapa ʻia kēia hōʻiliʻili ʻōpala ʻo Garbage Island, he 1,6 miliona square kilomika ʻāpana ma waena o Hawaiʻi a me Kaleponi.

Ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, he nui nā wahi o ka Moana Pākīpika e pono e hoʻōla mai ka lawaiʻa nui ʻana, no ka mea, ʻaʻole i hoʻi hou ka heluna kanaka o nā ʻano mea i manaʻo ʻia no ka ʻai ʻana o ke kanaka i ka wā o ka hānau ʻana, e pili ana i na mea olaola kai. ʻO ka hahai hewa ʻole ʻana i nā ʻano mea ʻino kekahi o nā mea hoʻoweliweli nui loa ma ka Pākīpika.

Nā Mokupuni o ka Moana Pākīpika

He mau kaukani mokupuni like 'ole o ka Moana Pakipika, no Oceania ka hapa nui o ia mau moku, i mahele 'ia i 'ekolu mau 'āpana 'oko'a.

• Melanesia: New Guinea, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, New Caledonia, Zenadh Kes (Torres), Vanuatu, Fiji a me Solomona.
• Maikonekia: ʻO nā mokupuni ʻo Mariana, Guam, Wake Island, Palau, Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Nauru a me ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa o Maikonisia.
• Polenekia: New Zealand, Hawaii, Rotuma, Midway, Samoa, American Samoa, Tonga, Tovalu, Cook Islands, French Polynesia, and Easter Island.

Eia kekahi, he mau mokupuni ʻē aʻe i pili ʻole i kēia ʻāina, e like me:

• Nā Mokupuni ʻo Galapagos. No ʻEkuador ia.
• Paeaina Aleutiana. No Alaska a me ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
• ʻO Sakhalin a me nā Mokupuni Kuril. No Rusia ia.
• Taiwan. No ka Lepupalika o Kina a ke hoʻopaʻapaʻa nei me ka Lepupalika Kanaka o Kina.
• Philippines
• Mokupuni ma ke Kai Kina Hema. No Kina.
• ʻO Iapana a me nā mokupuni ʻo Ryukyu.

Aia ka ʻaoʻao hohonu loa o nā moana a pau o ka honua ma ke komohana o ka Moana Pākīpika, kokoke i nā mokupuni ʻo Mariana a me Guam, a ua kapa ʻia ʻo Mariana Trench. ʻO ke ʻano o ka ʻili a i ʻole ka crescent, ʻoi aku ma luna o 2.550 mau kilomita o ka ʻāʻī a hiki i kahi ākea o 69 mau kilomita.

ʻO ka hohonu loa i ʻike ʻia he 11.034 mika, ʻo ia hoʻi, inā e hāʻule ʻo Everest i loko o ka Mariana Trench, aia nō kona piko he 1,6 mau kilomita ma lalo o ka ʻilikai.

Manaʻo wau me kēia ʻike hiki iā ʻoe ke aʻo hou e pili ana i nā ʻāina o ka Moana Pākīpika a me ko lākou ʻano.
