- Ukugqitywa kokugqibela: Agasti 2015;
- Uhlobo lweentaba: iiAndes.
I-volcano yeCotopaxi yindawo ephawulekayo ye- Ecuador , eyona yeyona nkqantosi yesibini ephakamileyo kweli lizwe, kunye ne-volcano ephezulu. Ukongeza, iCotopaxi iphakathi kweentaba-mlilo eziqhubekileyo kwihlabathi, abantu abaninzi banqwenela ukubona lo mmandla wendalo ogcwele amandla nobuhle. Kodwa into enomdla kakhulu, mhlawumbi - yilapho i-volcano iCotopaxi itholakala khona. Emva koko, i-60 km ukusuka kwikomkhulu yase-Ecuador- Quito . Kwaye oku kunyanisekileyo, kuba iminyaka eyi-140 eyadlulayo ukukhuphuka kwe-volcano yayinamandla kangangokuthi imveliso ye-eruption efunyenwe kwi-Amazon ngamakhilomitha angamakhulu amabini ukusuka kwi-volcano. Kwaye ekugqibeleni i-volcano iboniswe ngokukhawuleza, ngo-Agasti 2015.
I-Volcano Cotopaxi - ikhadi elihambeleyo lase-Ecuador
I-volcano eCotopaxi icatshulwa ngokufanelekileyo kwikhadi lokutyelela elizwe. Iqulethe i-cone efanelekileyo kwaye ikhangeleka kakuhle. Uninzi lulifanisa neNtaba yaseFuji, ewuphawu lweJapan. I-Cotopaxi ephezulu, eqala kwi-4,700 yamitha, ihlanganiswe ngeenkwenkwezi ezingapheliyo ezingancibiliki elangeni. Ngaloo xesha unyawo lwentaba-mlilo lucebile kwizityalo ezinqabileyo, ngoko i-volcano yiphakathi kwipaki efanayo kunye nekhaya malunga neenkulungwane zeentaka zeentaka, kunye nezilwanyana ezininzi-ezivela kumagundane ukuya kwizinkuku.
ICotopaxi ineekratshi ezimbini, enye yazo indala, enye incinci. Kuyamangalisa ukuba bobabini banesimo esiphelele. Abakhenkethi, ubonakala enqabileyo, enziwe ngumculi onetalente. ICotopaxi ivame ukuhlobisa amabhodi e-Ecuador.
I-Cotopaxi i-volcano esebenzayo okanye iphela?
I-volcano yeCotopaxi ifakwe kwiluhlu lweentaba-mlilo eziqhubekileyo kwihlabathi kwaye namhlanje lilandelwa ngokufutshane ngehora lama-24 ngokubhekiselwe nje kuphela ngabahlali beendawo, kodwa nakwabemi bendawo, abalindele ukutshintsha kwemizwelo evela kwi-volcano yonke imihla. Ukuphambuka kokuqala kweCotopaxus kwenzeka ngowe-1532, emva koko kwafa phantse iminyaka engama-200, kwaye ngo-1742 kwaphazamisa kwakhona ama-Ecuadorist. Oku kwenzeka kwakhona ngo-1768, ngo-1864 kwaye ngo-1877. Emva kokulala iminyaka engama-140, ngo-2015 wazikhumbuza.
Kodwa eyona nto yatshatshaba kwaye inamandla yayiyi-eruption ngo-1768. Emva koko wabangela umonakalo omkhulu kwiindawo ezikuyo. Endleleni, wayichitha idolophu yaseLatakunga . Ngo-Epreli 4 uya kuhlala ekhunjulwa kwi-Ecuadorians kunye nabemi baseQuito . Emva koko i-volcano yaziphatha ngokugqithiseleyo, yahluma ikhulu leetoni ze-lava kwaye yayihamba ne-cannonade. Abemi belikhulu babekho ebumnyameni obunzima, abazange babone iintende zabo, kodwa ukukhanya okwakusasaza ukuqhuma kwe-volcano kubonakala kwimashumi eekhilomitha.
Kuphi i-volcano eCotopaxi?
Indawo engummangaliso yendalo yeekhilomitha ezingama-60 ukusuka kuQuito. Ukuze ufike kuyo, kufuneka uhambe kwi-Route 35, emva kwesixeko saseAloag, landela imiqondiso. Iingqungquthela ezichanekileyo ze-volcano eCotopaxi 0 ° 41 'e-south latitude 78 ° 25' 60 'ngasentshonalanga ubude. Kanjalo, iibhasi zokuhamba zigijimela eCotopaxi, ngenxa yokuba into enjalo engokwemvelo ayinakunceda kodwa ihamba kunye neengcamango ezithakazelisayo kunye namaqiniso amangalisayo, ngoko ke isikhokelo soluhambo luyimfuneko nje.
