I-Iceland Geyser
Kuyinto a intwasahlobo eshisayo ekhipha njalo amanzi abilayo nomusi. Ukwenza ngezikhathi ezithile, ngesimo sekholomu, futhi iyathandeka futhi yinhle ukubona ukuthi ayikaze ibonwe phambilini. Igama layo, iGeyser, lisuselwa eGeysir, e-Iceland. Kungenxa yokuthi enye yezidume kakhulu ukuthi ibizwa kanjalo, futhi ekugcineni igama layo lamukelwa ukuqamba lolu hlobo lwemithombo njengegama elijwayelekile.
I-Iceland yisifunda esithanda kakhulu ukuba neGeysers. Eqinisweni, ingenye yezindawo zeplanethi lapho kunezimo eziningi "ezikhethekile", uma kunikezwe indawo. Ngalesi sizathu, abakwaGeysers badinga ukuthi kube khona i-hydrogeology evumayo etholakala ezindaweni ezimbalwa emhlabeni. Kunezinkulungwane ezizungeze iplanethi, futhi uhhafu wabo usepaki kazwelonke yaseYellowstone, e-United States.
Njengoba zinjalo?
Kunezinhlobo ezimbili. Olunye uhlobo lwesigaxa. Olunye uhlobo olukhona ifonti. Bobabili bakhipha amanzi, belandela iphethini efanayo. Uma ngolunye usuku sizithola siphambi kweGeyser, futhi sifuna ukugwema ukuphuthelwa yisikhathi sokuxoshwa, kufanele kuthiwe kwenzeka ngezigaba ezine. Okokuqala ukuthi umusi uphuma emanzini ashisayo. Okwesibili ukuthi amanzi aqala ukugcwala. Ngemuva kwalokho ukungezwani komhlaba, okubangelwa amanzi abesepholile, kuyehla. Futhi ekugcineni uxosha wonke lawo manzi.
Ukuqonda ukuthi zingaba khona kanjani, sithola imbangela yokuqala emanzini. Amanzi angaphezulu ahlungwa emhlabathini futhi aqoqeka emigodini yangaphakathi. Ukuba phansi kakhulu, futhi imvamisa ezindaweni lapho uqweqwe lincane khona, izinga lokushisa liphakeme. IMagma inesibopho sokukhuphula izinga lokushisa, elenza amanzi afudumale aze ahoxe. Yilokho okwenza ingcindezi yande, futhi sinezigaba zokuxoshwa, okukhulunywe ngazo esigabeni esandulele.
Isikhathi esiphakathi kokuqubuka kwamanzi sihluka kakhulu kuye ngegiza eyodwa iye kwenye. Enye yezinto ezisebenza kakhulu itholakala e-Iceland, iStrokkur, okuxoshwa kwayo njalo okugcina imizuzwana yokugcina kwenzeka njalo emizuzwini engu-14. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kukhona abanye abanjengoGrand Geyser e-United States oxosha amanzi cishe imizuzu eyi-10, njalo ngamahora ayisishiyagalombili kuya kwayi-8. Ayikho iphethini eqondile.
Impukane yeGeyser
IGeyser Fly
Awungeke uphuthelwe yilesi simangaliso semvelo esibonakala sithathwe endabeni ka-Alice eWonderland. Isithombe esaziswa kakhulu, asinakho ukuthinta kabusha, noma ngezinhlelo, noma yini. Kukhona kanjena, njengoba kuyaziswa, futhi kuse-United States. Indawo yayo isendaweni eyihlane ebizwa ngeGerlach eNevada. Inenye kuphela kodwa, ayifinyeleleki esidlangalaleni. Ngoba itholakala ngqo ngaphakathi kwepulazi elizimele, elibizwa ngeFly Ranch. Kungcono noma kubi.
Isizathu sokuthi leGeyser ingaba khona sibuyele emuva ku-1916. Ngaleso sikhathi, iqembu lamadoda lalifuna ukumba umhlaba lifuna amanzi ezitshalo nezilwane. Futhi bakuthola kanjalo, kepha ngo-200ºC. Amadoda, ebona iphutha lawo, afuna ukulifihla. Ekugcineni, eminyakeni edlule, ngo-1960, igiza lavela ngokwemvelo, laxosha amanzi alo abilayo.
Umzuzwana lapho ukhipha amanzi
Izinsalela ze-calcium carbonate emhlabathini zidale imibala emangalisayo kakhulu, ngokuxoshwa kwabo. Okuluhlaza okotshani, obomvu, ophuzi, okwenza kube iphuzu lomlingo phakathi nogwadule. Uma kwenzeka othile eseduze ngolunye usuku futhi engakwazi ukufinyelela kule ndawo, bamba ezinye izibonakude. Ngoba yize le ndima ivinjelwe, kungabonakala kusuka emgwaqeni omkhulu odabula i-Washoe County.
Kumele kuqashelwe ukuthi eduze kweFly Geyser, kukhona nokuhlukahluka kwezinto eziphilayo, nezitshalo eziningi, amachibi kanye namakhulu ezinyoni. Ngempela i-oasis maphakathi nogwadule. Ubuhle obufihla iplanethi yethu ethandekayo uMhlaba, engingakwazi ukuyikhohlwa esihlokweni sethu esinikelwe abakwaGeysers.
