Sivame ukudibanisa i-volcano neHawaii kunye neentshukumo zeCalifornia, kodwa i-Caribbean inesabelo sayo esilungileyo se-hoismic and volcanic hotspots, nayo. Ukuqubuka komhlaba kuqhelekile kwiiCaribbean kuneemibhobho, kwaye ngelixa iziganeko ezinkulu zingabonakali, zombini maxa wambi ziphazamise ukuhamba kwaye zibeke ubomi engozini. Kodwa kunokwenzeka ukuba umangaliswe kwiindawo zokuhlala okanye ukuzamazama komhlaba kunokuba uzibandakanye kwiCaribbean.
Ukuba ingozi yokuzamazama komhlaba okanye ukuqhuma kwe-volcanic ichaphazele izigqibo zakho malunga nokuya eCaribbean? Ewe, akukho ngaphezu kokungena kwi-equation xa uceba uhambo, uthi, isiqithi esikhulu okanye iLos Angeles. Kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo kungekhona kwinqanaba elingazicinga ngalo ngempembelelo yeCaribbean okanye isiqhwithi esiphezulu- kwaye nokuba loo mngcipheko uhle kakhulu.
Ukuhlaselwa Kokuzamazama komhlaba kunye nokuPhukisa kungaphi na?
Indawo yaseCaribbean iyindawo ekhutheleyo ngenxa yokuba ii-Caribbean kunye ne-North American tectonic iplates zihlangana apha, kwaye iimilo eziphosakeleyo zivela apho ezi zicwecwe ze-tectonic zihambelana. Kwiindawo apho iplani enye ihamba ngaphantsi komnye, idwala liyakuncibilika, kwaye ingcinezelo inokuyichukumisa le lava etyhidiweyo phezulu, kubangele ukuqhuma kwe-volcanic.
Ukuqubuka komhlaba kuqhelekile kwiCaribbean, kodwa ngokuqhelekileyo akunamandla kakhulu. Izikhefu ezicwangcisiweyo zokuzonwabisa xa ilanga zingamangaliswa xa zifumanisa ukuba iiCaribbean zinama-earthquake angaphezu kwe-3,000 ngonyaka; Kungenxa yokuba abaninzi bancinci kangangokuthi bangabonwa ngabanye ngaphandle kwe-seismologists.
Inyikima eninzi kaJanuwari ka-2010 ePort-au-Prince, eHaiti , yayingumzekelo-ubukhulu be-7.0 temblor kwisikali seRichter esinesigxina sazo nje ngeekhilomitha ezili-10 ukusuka kwisixeko-dolophu selizwe. Inyikima yeHaiti ibangelwa ukunyuka kwe-Enriquilla-Plantain Garden Fault eqhuba empuma-ntshona nge-Hispaniola (iHaiti neRiphabhliki yaseRominican ), iJamaica kunye neCayman Islands .
I-Hispaniola ibuyele kwikhaya elithile eliphambili lephutha, i-Fault ye-Septentrional Fault, eyanqumla ngaphaya kwintlampuma yasemntla yesiqithi kwaye iphinde iphethwe yiCuba .
Inyikima ye-Haiti ye-2010 yaphazamisa, ngokufa kwabantu ubuncinane abayi-100 000 kunye nekota yesigidi esakhiweyo. Inyikima ezininzi zomelelekile zibhalwe kwingingqi kwinqanaba elidlulileyo, kubandakanywa ukuzamazama kwe-7.7 ku-Aguadilla, ePuerto Rico, ngo-1943 kunye ne-7.5 yokuzamazama komhlaba eSt. John, e-Antigua, ngo-1974. Enye yehlabathi inyikima kwimbali yabetha ePort Royal, eJamaica, ngo-1692, kubangele ininzi yeso sixeko - ngelo xesha, ichweba elicebile kakhulu eJamaica kunye neendawo eziphambili ze-pirate-ukuya kutshona elwandle.
Izixeko ezilahlekileyo zasePlymouth naseSt. Saint-Pierre, zombini zibizwa ngokuba yi-Volcanoes
Iziqithi zaseNtshona Kapa zaseCaribbean zihlala kwikhaya lokuqhuma kweentaba-mlilo ezikhutheleyo, ezidlulayo. Into ephawulekayo yi-volcano yeSoufriere Hills eMontserrat , eyayinomxholo wophulo olukhulu kwiminyaka ye-1990 eyabangela ukutshatyalaliswa kwesixeko-dolophu, isixeko sasePlymouth. Emva kokufika kwe-jet-setting yeenkwenkwezi ze-movie kunye neemvumi, kubandakanywa nomvelisi waseBeatles uGeorge Martin ohlala kwi-Air Studios yakhe edumileyo kwisiqithi, uMontserrat ulungele ukuphinda abuyele ekubhujisweni okukhululwa ngu "Madame Soufriere."
Kuzo zonke iindawo ezili-17 eziqhutyelwayo ezintabeni zaseCaribbean, kuquka iNtaba ePelee eMartinique , iLa Grande Soufriere eGuadeloupe , i-Soufriere St. Vincent e-Grenadines, kunye neKick 'em Jenny - intaba-mlilo ephantsi komhlaba ogqityiweyo lwaseGrenada Ngolunye usuku ube sisiqithi esitsha (esi sihloko ngoku siphezulu kwamanci angama-500 ngaphantsi kwe-ocean surface).
KwiSt. Lucia, abakhenkethi banokufumana i-volcano "eqhelekileyo yokuqhubela i-volcano" yesiqithi kwaye bayakujabulela ukudibanisa emithonjeni eshushu kunye nezibhakabhaka zodaka ezikhumbuzayo (ngoku zilele). Ukugqithisela ngakumbi kunamarhafa edolophu yaseSaint-Pierre eMartinique: "iParis yaseCaribbean" yayingena kwi-lava ne-pyroclastic ephuma kwiNtaba iPelee ngo-1902, yabulala abantu abangama-28 000. Abahlali ababini kuphela.
Kwabaninzi abahambahambayo, iziqhwithi zentaba zininzi ezithandwayo kunotyelelo lokuhamba; ngamanye amaxesha, i-steam kunye nomlotha waseMontserrat kuya kubangela ukulibaziseka okanye ukuphazamiseka kwabahambi bomoya, kodwa amanxuwa asePlymouth ahlala enye yezinto ezikhangayo kakhulu kwiCaribbean - kufuneka ibone kwi- Montserrat Volcano Tour .
