Ifumaneka kunxweme olusempuma yeSicily (e-Itali), sifumana enye yezona ntaba-mlilo zaziwayo kwilizwekazi elidala: i-Etna. Kuqhuma lonke ixesha elincinci, ngamanye amaxesha minyaka le. Ukugqibela kwakhe ukwenza lento bekungobusuku bangoMvulo obudlulileyo.
Umboniso unokubonwa kwisixeko saseCatania, esikwiikhilomitha ezimbalwa ukusuka kwintaba-mlilo. Okwangoku, ayisiyongozi ebantwini nakumakhaya abo.
Ukuqhuma kwentaba-mlilo e-Etna
Nge-27 kaFebruwari, 2017 u-Etna wonyusa umsebenzi wayo wentaba-mlilo, kwaye Ekupheleni kosuku lwaqhuma, lukhupha uthuthu kumngxuma osemantla mpuma, njengoko kuchaziwe yiNunziata di Mascali Meteorological Observatory, eqale ukuvelisa ilifu elixineneyo.
Okwangoku kukho ikhamera yewebhu yeSkyline erekhodayo bukhoma. Uyayibona isenza cofa apha (Kufuneka ube nohlobo lwamva nje lweAdobe Flash Player efakiweyo).
Imbali yentaba-mlilo
I-volna ye-Etna, eyona isebenzayo kakhulu eYurophu, inokuphakama kweemitha ezingama-3330 ngaphezulu komphakamo wolwandle kwaye yaqala umsebenzi wayo malunga nesiqingatha sesigidi seminyaka eyadlulayo, ngokuqhushumba phantsi komphezulu wolwandle, kunxweme lwento namhlanje eyiSicily. Umsebenzi wentaba-mlilo ngaphezulu komphezulu wolwandle waqala kwiminyaka engama-300.000 eyadlulayo, kwaye kancinane kancinane ugqabhuko-dubulo lwayakhela kule meko inayo namhlanje.
Umsebenzi wentaba-mlilo awuzange ufane. Ngamanye amaxesha uqhushumbo lwenzeka engqungqutheleni kwaye maxa wambi emacaleni. Ezokuqala zezona zinokudubula, kodwa kunqabile ukuba zibeke ingozi; kwelinye icala, le yokugqibela inokwenzeka nakwimakhulu ambalwa eemitha zokuphakama, okanye kufutshane neendawo ezinabemi. Ukususela ngo-1600 AD. C., kubekho ama-60 lateral kunye nokubaleka okungathethekiyo kule ngqungquthela.
Intaba-mlilo i-Etna idale umboniso omangalisayo, awucingi?
