Zininzi izifundo ezizama ukufumanisa iimpembelelo kunye neziphumo ezibangelwa kukunyibilika kwimozulu kunye nokuzinza kweplanethi yethu. Enkosi kwii-satellites sinokwazi ukuhamba kunye nolwahluko kubukhulu bomkhenkce. Umkhenkce omkhulu okhe wabonwa embalini usandula "ukuzalwa" emva kokuqina kwawo kwithala leAntarctic.
Ukucocwa komqobo weLarsen C eAntarctica Inike izazinzulu ithuba lokufunda banzi ngozinzo kweqonga. Ngaba ukunyibilika kubangela ukungazinzi?
Ubungakanani bomkhenkce okhutshwe eAntarctica buphinda kabini ubukhulu beLuxembourg. Ukusukela ngoko, le iceberg enkulu, Igama A68, ibihamba malunga ne-5 km ukusuka kuthintelo. Imifanekiso ebonelelwe ziisathelayithi ibonisa ukuyilwa kweqela elimalunga ne-11 lomkhenkce omncinci.
Ngoku eAntarctica kusebusika kwaye akukho kukhanya. Iiyure zomhla zinqabile, ke ukuze kufundwe ukuvela kwe-A68 iceberg, kufuneka kusetyenziswe i-infrared satellites.
Kwenziwa iinzame zokufumanisa ukuba ingaba i-Larsen C detachment ibangela ukungazinzi kwishelufu ese-Antarctic. Njengokuba Kubalulekile ukuqonda ukuzinza kwe-A68 iceberg njengoko iyancipha kwaye ikhukhumala.
“Ukuba ishelufu yomkhenkce iphulukana nokunxibelelana nokuphakama, nokuba kukuqhubeka nokuncipha okanye ukuzala, kunokubangela ukukhawulezisa okubonakalayo kwisantya somkhenkce kwaye mhlawumbi ngakumbi nokuzinzisa. Kubonakala ngathi ibali likaLarsen C lisenokungapheli ”, ucacisile uGqirha Hogg kuphononongo olupapashwe kulindixesha. Utshintsho lwemozulu.
Ukunyibilika kweshelufu somkhenkce ngekhe kubangele ukunyuka okukhulu kwinqanaba lolwandle ukusukela kwawona mthamo uhlala kuwo lo mkhenkce uya kutshintshwa ngamanzi.
