Ngaphandle kokuba khona kwamanzi, ukuphila emhlabeni bekungeke kwenzeke. Kulinganiselwa ukuthi ingxenye engaphezu kuka-70% yomhlaba ingamanzi, kanti ingxenye enkulu yamanzi amanzi anosawoti esiwathola olwandle. Elinye lamazwekazi abaluleke kakhulu emanzini i-Asia, enezilwandle ezibaluleke kakhulu emhlabeni. I izilwandle zase-asiya ezigcwele izici ezihlukile okuthakasela kakhulu ukwazi ngazo.
Ngakho-ke, sizonikezela lesi sihloko ukuze sikutshele zonke izici kanye nezinto ezikhangayo zolwandle oluhlukene lwase-Asia.
Indawo yase-Asia
Okokuqala nje ukwazi ukuthi izwekazi lase-Asia likuphi. Ukuze sikhulume ngezilwandle ezibaluleke kakhulu e-Asia nendawo yazo, kufanele siqale sichaze ukuthi i-Asia ikuphi nokuthi ikuphi, ngoba ngaphandle kwalolu lwazi kunzima ukuchaza izilwandle ezitholakala kuleli zwekazi.
I-Asia ingelinye lamazwekazi ayisithupha omhlaba, futhi Yizwekazi elinendawo enkulu kanye nenani labantu abaningi. Kusukela ezingcwecweni zeqhwa zoLwandlekazi i-Arctic enyakatho, kuya oLwandlekazini iPacific eningizimu, oLwandlekazi iPacific entshonalanga, nasezintabeni zase-Ural empumalanga.
I-Asia yakhiwe amazwe angama-49, ama-4 ancike kuwo kanye namazwe ayisi-6 angaziwa. Lawa mazwe ahlukaniswe izifunda eziyisi-6 ezihlukene, okuyizi:
- North Asia
- I-Asia del Sur
- EMpumalanga Asia
- I-Asia Ephakathi
- ENingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia
- I-Western Asia
I-Asia ihlanganisa indawo engamakhilomitha-skwele angaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-44 futhi iyizwekazi elikhulu kunawo wonke emhlabeni, ithatha cishe u-9% womhlaba. Inani labantu bakhona ngabantu abayizi-4.393.000.000, emelela u-61% wabantu bomhlaba. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, inomthamo wezakhamuzi ezingama-99 ngekhilomitha-skwele ngalinye, futhi kwezinye izindawo ize ibe nokuminyana kwezakhamuzi eziyi-1.000 XNUMX ngekhilomitha-skwele ngalinye.
Uhlu lwezilwandle zase-Asia
Ukuze siqhubeke nalesi sifundo olwandle olubalulekile lwase-Asia kanye nezindawo zazo, kufanele sikhulume ngezilwandle ezihlukene ezizungeze izwekazi lase-Asia. Abanye bangabase-Asia kuphela, kanti abanye banengxenye e-Asia futhi banengxenye kwelinye izwekazi.
Izilwandle zase-Asia zimi kanje:
- I-Yellow Sea: Iyingxenye esenyakatho ye-East China Sea. Itholakala phakathi kwezwe laseChina nenhlonhlo yaseKorea. Igama layo livela ezinhlamvini zesihlabathi somfula ophuzi ezinikeza lo mbala.
- Ulwandle lwase-Arabia: Itholakala ogwini oluseningizimu-ntshonalanga ye-Asia, phakathi kweNhlonhlo yase-Arabia neNhlonhlo YamaHindustan.
- Ulwandle Olumhlophe: Iwulwandle olutholakala eYurophu nase-Asia. Itholakala ogwini lwaseRussia futhi ngokuvamile iqhwa.
- I-Caspian Sea: ulwandle oluphakathi kweYurophu ne-Asia.
- I-Andaman Sea: itholakala eningizimu-mpumalanga yeBay of Bengal, eningizimu yeMyanmar, entshonalanga yeThailand nasempumalanga ye-Andaman Islands. Iyingxenye yoLwandlekazi i-Indian.
- I-Aral Sea: Itholakala ku-Central Asian Inland Sea, phakathi kweKazakhstan ne-Uzbekistan.
- Band Sea: Itholakala eNtshonalanga Pacific, okungeyase-Indonesia.
- I-Bering Sea: iyingxenye yoLwandlekazi iPacific, izungezwe i-Alaska ngasenyakatho nasempumalanga, neSiberia ngasentshonalanga.
- Celebes Sea: Itholakala entshonalanga yePacific Ocean. Isemngceleni weSulu kanye neziqhingi zasePhilippines.
- I-South China Sea: ulwandle olusemngceleni wePacific Ocean. Ihlanganisa ugu lwaseMpumalanga Asia, ukusuka eSingapore kuya eTaiwan Strait.
- I-East China Sea: ingxenye yoLwandlekazi iPacific, ezungezwe yiChina, Japan, South Korea kanye neTaiwan.
- I-Philippine Sea: Iyingxenye esentshonalanga yoLwandlekazi iPacific, emngceleni neziQhingi zasePhilippine neTaiwan ngasentshonalanga, iJapan enyakatho, iMariana Islands ngasempumalanga, nePalau eningizimu.
- Ulwandle lwaseJapane: Kuyingalo yasolwandle phakathi kwezwekazi lase-Asia nesiqhingi sase-Japan.
- Sea of OkhotskIzungezwe yiNhlonhlo yeKamchatka ngasempumalanga, iKuril Islands eningizimu-mpumalanga, iHokkaido eningizimu, iSakhalin Island ngasentshonalanga, neSiberia enyakatho.
- Ulwandle lwaseJoló: Itholakala olwandle olumaphakathi nezwe phakathi kwePhilippines neMalaysia.
- I-Seto Inland Sea: ulwandle olumaphakathi nezwe oluhlukanisa iziqhingi ezithile eningizimu yeJapane.
- I-Kara Sea: ulwandle olusoLwandle i-Arctic, olusenyakatho yeSiberia.
- Ulwandle Olubomvu: ulwandle oluphakathi kwe-Afrika ne-Asia. Le ndawo yasolwandle iyisiteshi sokuthutha esibalulekile phakathi kweYurophu neMpumalanga Ephakathi.
Izilwandle zase-Asia ngokuningiliziwe
Okulandelayo, sizokhuluma nawe ngezinye zezilwandle zase-Asia ezibaluleke kakhulu ngokuningiliziwe njengoba zaziwa kangcono emhlabeni wonke.
ULwandle Oliphuzi
I-Yellow Sea iwulwandle olungashoni futhi lunokujula okungamamitha ayi-105 kuphela. Inechweba elikhulu elakha ngaphansi kolwandle futhi libizwa ngokuthi uLwandle iBohai. Leli theku yilapho umfula ophuzi uthulula khona. Umfula Ophuzi uwumthombo omkhulu wamanzi olwandle. Lo mfula wachitheka ngemva kokuwela isifundazwe saseShandong nenhloko-dolobha yaso, iJinan, kanye nomfula i-Hai owela iBeijing neTianjin.
Ulwandle i-Aral
Nakuba laziwa ngegama loLwandle i-Aral, iyichibi eliphakathi nezwe elingaxhunywanga nanoma yiluphi ulwandle noma ulwandle. Itholakala ogwadule olusenyakatho-ntshonalanga yeKyzyl Kum phakathi kwe-Uzbekistan yanamuhla neKazakhstan. Inkinga ukuthi itholakala endaweni enezindawo eziningi ezomile e-Asia Emaphakathi lapho amazinga okushisa ehlobo ephezulu kakhulu. Lawa mazinga okushisa avamise ukuba ngu-40 degrees Celsius.
Njengoba ubuso bamanzi nomthamo ovamile lolu lwandle oluwagcinayo kushintshashintsha minyaka yonke, ukubala inani elikuwo kuyinkimbinkimbi ngandlela-thile. Ngo-1960 yayinendawo engamakhilomitha-skwele angama-68.000 ngenkathi ngo-2005 yayinendawo engamakhilomitha-skwele ayi-3.500 kuphela. Nakuba yonke indawo yayo ye-hydrographic ifinyelela kumakhilomitha-skwele ayizigidi ezingu-1.76 futhi ithatha ingxenye enkulu yesikhungo sonke sase-Asia.
I-Caspian Sea
ULwandle lweCaspian lusempumalanga yezintaba zaseCaucasus endaweni ejulile ephakathi kweYurophu ne-Asia. Cishe singamamitha angu-28 ngaphansi kwezinga lolwandle. Amazwe aseduze koLwandle lweCaspian yi-Iran, i-Azerbaijan, iTurkmenistan, iRussia neKazakhstan. Lolu lwandle lwakhiwe izitsha ezi-3: enyakatho noma phakathi nendawo kanye nomcengezi oseningizimu.
Umcengezi wokuqala mncane kakhulu ngoba umboza okungaphezulu nje kwekota yendawo yonke yolwandle. Futhi yingxenye engajulile kakhulu esingayithola kule ndawo. Umcengezi omaphakathi unokujula okungamamitha ayi-190, okuvumela ukuba khona kwenani elikhulu lemithombo yemvelo, yize okujule kakhulu kuseningizimu. Umcengezi oseningizimu uphethe u-2/3 womthamo wamanzi ophelele oLwandle iCaspian.
Ngithemba ukuthi ngalolu lwazi ungafunda kabanzi mayelana nezilwandle zase-Asia nezici zayo.
