Inxalenye esemzantsi-ntshona yeBolivia ihlotswe ngeyona nto enhle kwaye ngexesha elifanayo intaba-mlilo yingozi kakhulu i-Utruska (Uturuncu), ekhoyo kwi-plateau yase-Altipano. Abantu abancinci malunga naye abancinci bayaziwa, kodwa i-seismologists eyaziwa kakuhle ixhalabele kakhulu ngemisebenzi engakaze ibe yinto ye-volcano, esandula ukubonakalisa ngokuqhelekileyo. Kule nqaku, siya kuzama ukufumanisa ukuba kukho umonakalo wokuqhuma kwe-Uthuruku, kwaye yintoni esongela isiganeko saseBolivia kunye namazwe angomakhelwane.
Indawo ephakamileyo yelizwe
I-Volcano i-Uthuruku inezintaba ezimbini, ukuphakama kwayo nganye kufinyelela malunga ne-6008 m. Oku kwenza i-volcano ibe yindawo ephezulu yeBolivia. Ukugqitywa kokugqibela kwe-volcanic kubhalwe ngaphaya kweminyaka engama-300 eyadlulayo, kodwa namhlanje izazinzulu zibona umsebenzi okhulayo. Intsimi ye-Utturku ifakwe iifomiti kwi-pyroclastic flow, ngokubhekiselele kuyo ukuba ikwazi ukugweba ubunzima bokuqhuma kokugqibela. Ngokweenkcukacha zenzululwazi, kukho inkululeko yokukhululwa kwamagma, ngamandla kunye nokutshatyalaliswa okufana nokukhuphuka kwe-Yellowstone caldera.
Ngaba ukwesaba kunobulungisa?
Namhlanje, i-volcanologists ehlabathini lonke ifunda u-Uthuruku. Uphando lwabo lwakutshanje luye lwabonisa ukuba ukukhula kwendawo yamagmatic isiqalile, oku kungakhokelela kwintlekele. Iingcamango zenzululwazi ziqinisekisa iinyikima ezincinane zemihla ngemihla, ukuphakama komhlaba kummandla wentshonalanga kwi-20 cm, ukuguquguquka kwexesha lomhlaba kunye nokuthuthumela. Nangona kukho iifowuni ezothusayo, iingcali zizama ukuhlala zizolile, kuba aziwayo ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba ukuqhuma kwe-Uthuruku kuza kwenzeka kwikamva elisondeleyo, okanye i-apocalypse iya kwenzeka emva kweminyaka eyiwaka.
Okwangoku, iingcali zifunda utshintsho olwenziwa kwinqanawa kunye ne-delta yamachibi asezantsi nasempuma ye-volcano. Ukuba umhlaba uyaqhubeka nokukhula kwawo, ngoko kunokwenzeka ukuba uqikelele ngokuzithemba ukukhuphuka kwe-Uthuruku.Indlela yokufikelela kwi-Utturku?
Ukutyelela i-voltano ye-Utturku, abahambi baya kufuneka benze uhambo olunzima. Ukuze ufinyelele kwindawo apho i-giant ikhona khona, unako ngeenqwelo. Basuka kwikomkhulu yaseBolivia kunye nezixeko ezikufutshane kwimihla ngemihla, ixesha lokuhamba liphuma kwiiyure ezingama-5 ukuya kwii-7 ngokulandelanayo. Emva kokufika, ufuna imoto enokukrazula lula kwenye yeendawo ezikufutshane.
Ukuba unquma ukunqoba i-voltano ye-Utturku, qiniseka ukuba uyayinyamekela izixhobo ezizodwa uze usebenzise iinkonzo zomqhubi onamava.| | |
