I-Rio Grande rift yindawo ephezulu ye-geologic eyaziwa ngumfula. Imifudlana yenziwa xa ihlabathi linyuka kunye neengcongolo. Iifom zehlabathi ezibangelwa ukunyakaza kwenqwelo yomhlaba zibalwa njenge-tectonic. I-Melika yaseMexico iyabhalwa ngumhlaba ongasenyakatho-ntshona welizwe obangelwa yiColorado Plateau esuka kwiiNxweme eziPhakamileyo, ngokuyiyo eyenza i-rift. I-Rio Grande iqhubela phambili, kwaye ikhosi yayo ilawulwa ngumbutho kunye nefom.
Ingxenyana esenyakatho yeRio Grande rift yincinci kwaye yenziwe ngoluhlu lwesitya esineentaba. Umngcipheko ukhulula eningizimu yeSocorro, kwaye kwicandelo elisenzantsi likarhulumente, idibanisa kunye nebhasin kunye nephondo elibanzi kumzantsi-ntshona eNew Mexico , ngokubanzi.
Azikho zonke iindawo zaseRio Grande rift zaqala ukudibanisa ngelo xesha. Ukwandiswa kwezantsi kwaqala ukuqhuma malunga neebhiliyoni ezingama-36 kwiminyaka edlulileyo. Ngasenyakatho, uhlanga lwaqala ukudala malunga nezigidi ezingama-26 zeminyaka edlulileyo.
Kuthiwani Ngeentaba?
Xa i-crust yaqala ukukrazula, yenze i-volcanism, okanye i-volcanic, kuloo ndawo. Iintsike ze-Volcanic ziyabonakala xa zikhangele entshonalanga ye- Albuquerque , apho kuhlala khona iindawo zazo. IValles Caldera kufuphi neLos Alamos yenye yeyona calestas yeyona nto incinane kunazo zonke emhlabeni, idalwe ngaphezu kweyigidi leminyaka edlulileyo ngokuwa kwegma.
Kuthiwani Ngokuzamazama?
Kukho ubungqina bokuba inyikima enkulu yenzeka kwi-nort-central Colorado kwiminyaka eyi-5 000 ukuya kwi-15 000.
Ezi nyikima (7.0 ubukhulu okanye ngaphezulu) akunakwenzeka ukuba zenzeke nangona kunokwenzeka. Umsebenzi wesisimo kummandla waseNew Mexico uphantsi ukuya kumodareyitha, unomngcipheko othe wenyuka kakhulu kwiindawo ezikuyo.
Iifutshane zenza i-depressions depressions ezaliswe ngamadaka emva kwexesha. Iinqonga ze-Albuquerque zingaphezu kweekhilomitha ezintathu.
Ngaba ukuqhubela phambili kuqhubeka nokwandisa namhlanje? Ewe, kodwa ngokukhawuleza akuyi kubonwa. Umqhubi uhamba malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-0.5 no-2 ngonyaka.
I-Rio Grande rift ikhethekileyo ngokwezendalo. Imifudlana embalwa kakhulu ifumaneka kumhlaba, kunye neyona nto ininzi eyenziwe phakathi kwee-ocean. Olunye uququzelelo lomhlaba luquka i-East African rift, ngamanye amaxesha kuthiwa yi-Great Rift Valley, kunye neLake Baikal, ezaliswe ngamachibi aseRussia.
Ndingafumanaphi na ngakumbi malunga neRio Grande Rift?
I-Rio Grande rift yenye yezizathu ezitsha I-Mexico i-geological is special. Ukufumana okungakumbi malunga ne-geology yaseNew Mexico, tyelela iNyuvesi yaseNew Mexico yeMbali yeNdalo kunye neSayensi . Uza kufumana ulwazi malunga neemeko zelizwe kunye nexesha elide, ezibonakaliswe kumaphu, imifanekiso kunye nokunye.
