IJografi eyahlukeneyo yomhlaba
Ilizwe laseMeditera, u-Israel, ngokuthe ngqo, uhlala kwi-Asia-ntshona-ntshona phakathi kweLwandle iMeditera kunye neentlango zaseSiriya naseArabhiya. Ngokomsebenzi wezoKhenketho wakwaSirayeli, ilizwe laseMeditera lisentshona, i-Jordan Valley Rift ngasempuma, iintaba zaseLebhanon zenyuka kunye ne-Eilat Bay zibonisa uphawu olusezantsi.
Amagunya okukhenketho welizwe ahlula amaSirayeli kwiindawo ezintathu ezisemgangathweni: ummandla wonxweme, ummandla weentaba kunye neJordan Valley Rift.
Kukho intambo yesigxina seNtshonalanga yaseNegev ngasezantsi (kunye noEilat kwinqanaba elingasentla).
Plain Coast
Ulwandle olungasentshonalanga yelizwe lusuka e-Rosh Ha-Nikra ngasenyakatho ukuya kumda we-Sinai Peninsula kumzantsi. Le nkcazo iphela ngeekhilomitha ezi-2.5 ukuya kwe-4 ukuya kumantla kwaye ihamba njengoko ihamba ngasentla ukuya malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-31. Umgca wecala lonxweme ngummandla wakwaSirayeli onabantu abaninzi. Ngaphandle kwimizi yasezidolophini ezifana neTel Aviv kunye neHaifa, ummandla werhafa lonxweme umhlaba onothileyo, kunye nemithombo yamanzi amaninzi.
Ithafa lihlukaniswe ukusuka enyakatho ukuya eningizimu ukuya kwi-Plain yaseGalili, i-Acre (Akko) Plain, iCharmel Plain, iSharon Plain, iLwandle oluLwandle lwaseMedithera, kunye neLwandle oluseNxweme lwaseNxweme. EMpuma kwinqaba yonxweme yizona ziqithi - iinduli ezilinganisekayo ezenza ummandla wenguqu phakathi kolwandle kunye neentaba.
Iholide yaseYerusalem, esetyenziswe ngendlela kunye nomzila wesitimela, uhamba ukusuka kummandla wonxweme kwiintaba zaseYudeya, ekupheleni apho iYerusalem imi khona.
Ummandla weNtaba
Ummandla weentaba wakwaSirayeli uhamba ukusuka eLebhanon ngasenyakatho ukuya e-Eilat Bay ngasezantsi, phakathi kwelafa lonxweme kunye neJordan Valley Rift. Iintaba eziphakamileyo ziyiNtaba yaseGalili. IMeron kwii-3,962 ngeenyawo ngaphaya kolwandle, iMatam. UBhali waseHatsor kwiimitha ezingama-3,333 kunye noMntla we-Negev. URamon kuma-3,402 ngeenyawo ngaphaya kwezinga elwandle.
Uninzi lwommandla weentaba ezingaphantsi kunabantu abanamatye okanye umhlaba oqaqambileyo. Imozulu esenyakatho yeentaba zeMedithera imvula, ngelixa amaqela asezantsi asentlango. Iinqanaba eziphambili zommandla weentaba yiGalili ngasenyakatho, iKarmele, iintaba zaseSamariya, iinduli zaseJudiya (iYudaya neSamariya ziyingingqi ephantsi kwe-Israel yase-West Bank) kunye neentaba zaseNegev.
Ukuzithiba kommandla weentaba kuphazanyiswa ngamagqabini amabini amakhulu - iYizreyeli (iYizereli) Intlambo ehlukanisa iintaba zaseGalili ezintabeni zaseSamariya, kunye neBheer Sheva-Arad Rift eyahlula iintaba zaseYude kwiindawo eziphakamileyo zaseNegev. Imithambeka yasempuma yeentaba zaseSamariya kunye neenduli zaseJudiya ziyihlane lamaSamariya kunye nelakwaYuda.
Jordan Valley Rift
Olu phawu luyandisa ubude bonke bakwaSirayeli ukusuka kwidolophu esemantla yaseMetula ukuya eLwandle Olubomvu ngasezantsi. Umququzelelo wabangelwa ngumsebenzi wesimo sezulu kwaye uyincinci ye-Afro-Syrian rift eqhubekayo ukusuka emngceleni waseSiriya-eTurkey ukuya kuMlambo iZambezi e-Afrika. Umlambo omkhulu kunawo wonke wakwaSirayeli, iJordani, uhamba ngeYordan Valley kwaye iquka amalambo amabini akwaSirayeli: iKinneret (uLwandle lwaseGalili), elona liqela elikhulu lamanzi aphelileyo kwaSirayeli, kunye namanzi anetyuwa oLwandle olufileyo, kwindawo ephantsi emhlabeni.
Intlambo yeYordan iyahlula ukusuka enyakatho ukuya eningizimu ukuya kwiNqila yaseHula, iThafeni laseKineret, i-Valley Valley, i-Valley of Dead Sea kunye ne-Arava.
Golan Heights
Ummandla waseGolan ohlala ngasempumalanga yoMlambo iYordan. Iinqwelo ze-Golan zase-Israel (ezithiwa yiSyria) ziphela kwebala elikhulu le-basalt, eliseSiriya. Umntla weGolan Heights yiMat. IHermon, intaba ephezulu ye-Israel kwii-7,315 ngeenyawo ngaphaya kwezinga elwandle.
