Yini ikapa

I-cape yisici sokuma komhlaba esakhiwa isiqeshana somhlaba noma inhlonhlo esukela ogwini iye olwandle. Ngokuya ngenani lomhlaba ongena olwandle, lingaba nomthelela emisakazweni yolwandle. Kusuka kulezi zinkokhiso, kudalwa ugu olunamagagasi amaningi noma amancane. Izintambo zisetshenziswe kuwo wonke umlando ekuzulazuleni ukugcina ithrekhi yogu futhi kulapho kwafakwa khona izibani zokukhanya.

Kulesi sihloko sizokutshela yini ikapa nokubaluleka enakho kumandla asogwini.

Yini ikapa

I-cape ngumqondo noma osetshenziswa kokubili ku-geography naku-geology ukukhombisa isici sendawo esakhiwe isiqeshana somhlaba esisuka ogwini siye ngaphakathi kolwandle. Kule ndawo amanzi aphansi futhi enza ukuhamba kwemikhumbi kube nzima. Ngaphezu kwalokho, imisinga yasolwandle iyathinteka yilolu shintsho ku-morphology yendawo.

Phakathi kwezimpawu ezisemqoka esizithola ekapa ukuthonya imisinga yasolwandle ngoba kuyisandiso esiphuma olwandle. Sekungamakhulu eminyaka izigqoko zisetshenziswa njengendawo yokukhomba amatilosi njengoba enikeza ukubonakala okukhulu kwezwekazi futhi evikela imikhumbi ezingozini ezahlukahlukene olwandle oluvulekile olunazo. Ukuba khona kwamakhaphethi kwanika amathuba amakhulu okusinda uma kwenzeka isehlakalo esingalindelekile, ngakho-ke, iningi lezindondo ezibaluleke kakhulu emhlabeni kwakuyizindawo ezinamasu zokufakwa kwezindlu zokukhanya eziqondisa amatilosi.

Ngabe namuhla, nge-satellite navigation amalambu alahlekelwe ukubaluleka kwawo. Manje usungayazi indawo ngesikhathi sangempela nganoma yisiphi isikhathi futhi noma kuphi emhlabeni. Ngaphezu kwalokho, hhayi kuphela i-morphology yendawo eyaziwayo, kodwa futhi nengaphakathi lolwandle. Lokhu kwenzelwa ukuvikela izingozi ezahlukahlukene zokushayisana kwezikebhe ngamathiphu obubanzi bezintaba ezingaphansi kwamanzi.

Le ngxenye encane ephumayo yogu ibinokubaluleka okungokomfanekiso kuwo wonke umlando. Endulo ukuphela kwensimu kwakuyi-Cape. Isibonelo, ingachazwa ngegama leCape Finisterre. NgesiLatin leli gama lisho ukuphela komhlaba futhi lisogwini lwaseGalicia. KumaRoma asendulo leli phuzu noma ekugcineni okukhulu kwendawo yonke esentshonalanga. Lapho uzothola enye yezindawo zokukhanyisa eziyizifanekiselo zekhulu leshumi nesishiyagalolunye futhi iyindawo eyaziwa ngokuphahlazeka komkhumbi okwehlukile nezinye izimpi ezenzekile.

 Izigqoko ezibaluleke kakhulu emhlabeni

Manje sizohlaziya izihloko ezibaluleke kakhulu emhlabeni ngokubaluleka kwazo kwamasu nokuheha kwazo izivakashi.

• ICape de Creus eGirona: le ngenye yezindawo ezivakashelwa kakhulu kulo lonke ugu lwaseCatalan. Ithintwa umoya wasenyakatho namagagasi anamandla ngokuqhubekayo sonke isikhathi. Lo mbuso wemimoya wenze ukuthi amadwala akhishwe ngephrofayili ehlaba umxhwele kulo lonke ikapa. Kubhekwa njengendawo esempumalanga yeNhlonhlo Yase-Iberia. Inokuphakama kwamamitha angama-67.2 futhi iphakama ngaphezu koLwandle iMedithera enyakatho-mpumalanga yeSpain.
• ECape Finisterre: Njengoba sishilo phambilini, itholakala eGalicia ogwini lwe-Atlantic futhi ngenxa yokubaluleka kwayo ngokomlando ngokuba yindawo lapho kube khona ukuphihlazeka kwemikhumbi nezimpi eziningi, kwathiwa yi-European Cultural Heritage ngo-2007.
• ICape Catoche: leli cape lingelesiqhingi saseHolbox Island esisendaweni yaseMexico iQuintana Roo. Kuyingxenye esenyakatho yenhlonhlo yaseYucatan ogwini lweGulf of Mexico. Kuleli cape unganquma ukuhlukaniswa phakathi kwale ndawo engasogwini noLwandle i-Antillean. Itholakala kumakhilomitha angama-53 enyakatho yeCancun.
• IKapa lama-Forcas amathathu: Leli cape liseStrait of Gibraltar enyakatho neRif naseningizimu yeNhlonhlo Yase-Iberia kanye noLwandle i-Alboran. Iphinde yaba nokubaluleka kwayo kumasu kuwo wonke umlando.
• ICape Horn: YiKapa elitholakala engxenyeni eseningizimu kakhulu yeziqhingi zaseTierra del Fuego, eningizimu yeChile. Kubhekwa njengendawo eseningizimu yezwekazi laseMelika.
• I-Cabo de las Huertas: futhi etholakala eSpain ogwini lwaseLevantine itholakala edolobheni lase-Alicante.
• I-Cabo de la Vela: Leli cape futhi liphezulu impela futhi liseningizimu yeCaribbean Sea. Singayibona ngokuqondile enhlonhlweni yaseGuajira eColombia. Ingxenye ephakeme kakhulu inokuphakama kwamamitha angama-47 ngaphezu kogu lolwandle.
• I-Cabo de San Roque: Ingenye yamakhophi aziwa kakhulu kulo lonke elaseBrazil futhi itholakala cishe ngamakhilomitha angama-51 ukusuka enhlokodolobha yombuso. Idume ngokuba iphuzu ogwini lwaseBrazil olusondele kakhulu ogwini lwase-Afrika.
• I-Cape shark: Igama layo linikezwe ngoba lenziwe njengoshaka futhi likhomba ukuqala komngcele ophakathi kwePanama neColombia.

IKapa ngezikebhe

Igama elithi intambo lisetshenziselwa amafindo ezikebhe. Akubalulekanga nje kuphela ukubhekela imisinga yasolwandle engakwazi ukukhiqiza inqwaba yokwakheka komhlaba ngasogwini, kepha futhi kufanele ube nokuphepha ezikebheni.

Izingxenye ze-Cape yilezi:

Izingxenye ze-cape ikakhulukazi okuqinile, isifuba kanye nesiswebhu. Isiswebhu yigama okumelelwa ngalo ukuphela kwekapa. Konke okunye ukuqeqeshwa kwaziwa njengokuqina. Ngokwakhiwa kwe-cape, noma iyiphi i-arc noma i-curvature eyakha yonke indawo yaziwa njengesono.

Ngiyethemba ukuthi ngalolu lwazi ungafunda kabanzi ngokuthi iyini ikapa.
