Uma sikhuluma echibini, sisuke sibhekisa kumanzi angunaphakade abekwa ezindaweni zokudonsela amanzi ezikhona ensimini. Lokhu kudangala kungakhiwa ngamaphutha we-geological futhi nge I-orogenesis. Zingahle futhi zenzeke ngenxa yokuqongelelwa kwama-glace glacial moraines noma ama-avalchi amaningi eqhwa. Namuhla sikulethela uhlu lwe amachibi amakhulu kunawo wonke emhlabeni.
Sizokutshela ukuthi yimaphi amachibi amakhulu emhlabeni nokuthi yiziphi izici zawo eziyinhloko.
I-Caspian Sea
Ichibi lingaqukatha amanzi ahlanzekile nawosawoti. Ukwakheka kohlobo ngalunye lwechibi yilokho okunquma izici nohlobo lwamanzi azolakha. Kulokhu, sizokhuluma ngoLwandle lweCaspian. Kubude obunokwelulwa okunje ukuthi kuthathwa njengolwandle. Inamanzi amunyu futhi atholakala phakathi kweYurophu neAsia. UMthethosivivinywa ngokujula kwe-371.000 km2 kanye nokujula okuphakathi kwamamitha ayi-170.
Igama elithi Caspian Sea kungenxa yeCaspian. Yigama ledolobha lasendulo elalithuthuke eningizimu-ntshonalanga yechibi. Inezimbali nezilwane eziningi futhi icebile ngama-sturgeon nezimpawu. Ngeshwa, ulwandle olunezingxabano eziningi phakathi kwamazwe ngoba futhi lunezinsizakusebenza zamaminerali njengoyili negesi yemvelo futhi lubhekene nezinkinga eziqhubekayo. Amanzi okudoba namazwe omhlaba nawo abangela izinkinga, ngoba kusuka endaweni ethile, akwaziwa ukuthi ngubani ophethe ukuphathwa kwayo.
Ingxenye esenyakatho yechibi iba yiqhwa ezinyangeni ezibandayo futhi isetshenziselwa ukwenza ama-ski runs athile. Kungashiwo ukuthi yiqhwa elinosawoti elingajwayelekile kakhulu kunoma iyiphi intaba.
Ichibi eliphakeme
Ingenye yezingu-5 Amachibi Amakhulu ENyakatho Melika. Itholakala phakathi kwe-United States neCanada. Inendawo engama-82.000 km2, ukuba yichibi lamanzi angenasawoti elikhulu kunawo wonke emhlabeni. Inalo mthamo wamanzi ngoba kunemifula engaphezu kwama-200 engena kuwo futhi iqhubeke iwondla.
Igama leLake Superior kungenxa yokuthi amaNgisi alibeka ngesikhathi sokuhlola ngo-1760. Kwakuyichibi elinomthamo omningi nenani lamanzi ababelitholile ezimpilweni zabo. Izinga lokushisa eliphakathi kwamanzi lingama-7 degrees unyaka wonke. Ubusika kuleli chibi abubandi kakhulu kanti ihlobo lipholile.
IChibi iVictoria
Leli chibi elikhulu lisenkabeni ye-Afrika esempumalanga. Izungezwe yiTanzania, Kenya ne-Uganda. Ubude bayo bungu-69.482 km2, kubhekwa njengechibi lesibili ngobukhulu lamanzi angenasawoti emhlabeni, ngemuva kweLake Superior. UMfula iKagera yiwona ongena ngokugeleza okuphezulu okuwondla ngokuqhubekayo. Ukujula kwechibi ngamamitha angama-82 selokhu kutholakala ngaphezulu kokudangala okuncane. Ukujula okumaphakathi kungamamitha angama-40 kuyilapho ama-82m kungukuphakama okutholakala kuleso simo sokudangala okushiwo.
Kunezinkinga ezithinta imvelo ezidala ukuqothulwa kwezinhlobo eziningi zezinhlanzi ngenxa yokudotshwa ngokweqile. I-hyacinth yamanzi ingesinye sezitshalo ezihlasela leli chibi futhi elisenza sibe nobuthi. Esinye isizathu esenza izinga lala manzi liwohloke ngenxa yokuchithwa okuningi kukadoti wasekhaya nowezimboni.
IChibi iHuron
Ingelinye lamaLwandle Omkhulu aseNyakatho Melika. Lingelesibili ngobukhulu emachibini ama-5 aphakathi kwe-United States neCanada. Leli chibi linqamula i-Ontario neMichigan entshonalanga, elinye lamaGreat Lakes. Ukujula kwayo okumaphakathi kungamamitha angama-59 kanti ubukhulu kungamamitha angama-229. Ingelinye lamachibi emhlabeni anezimoto eziningi ezikebheni.
Ngenxa yezimo zezulu ezibe kuleli chibi, into ejwayelekile kakhulu ukuthi phakathi kwezinyanga zikaZibandlela kuya ku-Ephreli ichibi limile ngokuphelele. Lokhu kwenza ukuthi amanzi alo angadluli ngalesi sikhathi. Amabhizinisi amaningi adinga izikebhe ukuwela leli chibi imisebenzi yawo imisiwe.
ILake Michigan
Elinye lamaLwandle Omkhulu aseNyakatho Melika. Izungezwe i-Illinois, i-Indiana, iMichigan neWisconsin. Itholakala e-United States ngokuphelele futhi inendawo engamakhilomitha-skwele angama-57.750. Ukujula okumaphakathi kungamamitha angama-85 kanti ubukhulu kungamamitha angama-281. Ithathwa njengechibi lesihlanu ngobukhulu emhlabeni. Inamabhishi aziwa e-United States ngokuba nesihlabathi esihluke kakhulu kwezinye. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi zinokuqukethwe okuphezulu kwe-quartz futhi kuzwakala lapho uhamba ngakho.
Ichibi leBaikal
El ichibi le-baikal Ingenye yezindawo ezinkulu kunazo zonke eziseSiberia. Uyaziwa nangokuthi cha, bre de Ojo azul. Ubude bayo bungamakhilomitha angama-5539 futhi ingelinye lamachibi acace bha emhlabeni. Ine-turbidity encane kakhulu. Yabizwa njenge-UNESCO ngo-1996 njengeNdawo Yamagugu Omhlaba futhi inendawo engamakhilomitha-skwele angama-21.494. Ukujula okumaphakathi ngamamitha angama-744 kanti ubukhulu ngamamitha ayi-1642. Njengoba ukwazi ukubona, kujule ngaphezu koLwandle iCaspian.
Ichibi elikhulu kunawo wonke lamanzi angenasawoti e-Asia nelinye lamanzi ajulile emhlabeni. Inezinhlobo ezingaphezu kuka-233 zama-algae nezinhlobo ezingaphezu kwezingama-852 zezilwane nezitshalo.
IChibi iTanganyika
Ingelinye lamachibi amakhulu kunayo yonke i-Afrika. Inokujula kwamamitha ayi-570 ngokwesilinganiso kanye nokujula okuphezulu kwamamitha ayi-1470. Ithathwa njengechibi lesibili elijule kakhulu emhlabeni. Iqukethe izinhlobonhlobo zezinhlanzi nezinye izinhlobo zezitshalo nezilwane ezidala imisebenzi eminingi efinyelela kuma-45.000. Itholakala phakathi kwamazwe aseTanzania, iBurundi, iDemocratic Republic of the Congo neZambia.
Ngiyethemba ukuthi ngalolu lwazi ungafunda kabanzi ngamachibi amakhulu kunawo wonke emhlabeni. Njengoba ukwazi ukubona, kukhona amachibi anokujula nobuso okufana nolwandle lwangempela. Ngiyethemba ungaba nenhlanhla yokuhambela ezinye zalezi zindawo ezinhle futhi ezinhle.
