Ngokuqhelekileyo, baqala ngokuqhaqhaqhaqhaqhaqhaba okunjengokuhamba kweloli. Ukukhwabanisa kulandela ukugubha izitya kunye neebhabhinethi izitya ngokulingana okulinganayo. Ngethemba, umonakalo omninzi uya kwenzeka ngaphandle kweefowuni ezimbalwa okanye igumbi lokuhlala, kodwa ngamanye amaxesha ukukhupha komhlaba akukwazi ukugcina, kwaye inyikima enkulu i-Alaska.
Ziziphi iinyikima?
Ukukhululwa kwamandla enogonyamelo kwiiplate zeplanethi, iinqabileyo zolu hlobo oluthululeka phezulu kwengubo phantsi kwe-crust, yiyona nto ininzi yethu esiyikhumbulayo ngokuzamazama komhlaba ukusuka kwiklasi yesayensi ye-high school.
E-Alaska, apho iplatshi yasePacific idibana nenqwelomoya engummangaliso eNorth America, loo mandla akhululwa imihla ngemihla, amagagasi anesimo somoya esivakalelwa ngathi njengokugungqiswa kwesinqanawa okanye ukuqhuma kwemoto, kuxhomekeka kwi-epicenter, okanye indawo apho amacwecwe adibene kwaye adibanisa, kunye nobunzulu ngaphantsi kwethu.
Kutheni iAlaska ininzi inyikima?
Lezo zibini ezikufutshane-kodwa-ezingabonakaliyo zasePacific naseMntla yaseMelika zihlala zihlala zihamba ngeendawo ezikuyo kwengubo, kwaye iplatshi yePacific iyancipha, okanye ihamba phantsi, i-North America enye. I-Alaska ineendawo ezininzi ezibonisa imida yale macwecwe: i-Alaska yaseMzantsi Afrika, kufuphi neAnchorage; Ingaphakathi, kufuphi Fairbanks; kunye ne-Aleutian Chain. Iziphene ziyakubhawula le mimida, okanye zidibaniswe nazo, kwaye zibonise njengamaqhekeza ebusweni bomhlaba apho iindonga ziye okanye zihamba zidlulileyo.
I-Salcha, Fairbanks, Minto, kunye ne-Denali iimpazamo zisebenza kakuhle.
Zingaphi iinyikima zeAlaska zonyaka?
I-Alaska ine-11% yehlabathi inyikima, kwaye i-3 ye-6 enkulu kunazo zonke kwimbali ebhaliweyo yayikuyo. Ukususela ngowe-1900, i-Alaska inokuzamazama komhlaba kwe-7 okanye 8 kwi-magnitude ngonyaka, ii-earthquake ezingama-45 ezikhulu okanye ezisi-7, kunye neentlanzi ezili-10 ngonyaka.
Inyikima enkulu kunazo zonke, ngokuqinisekileyo, yayingu-1964 "Ukuzamazama komhlaba kweAlaska enkulu" ephambili kufuphi nePrince William Sound. Ngobunzima be-9.2 ngaphezu kwemizuzu engama-4.5, le ngxabano ephazamisayo kwaye yabangela ukuba i-tsunami ithathe ubomi babantu abayi-100 kwaye yajika isixeko sase- Anchorage kwindawo yentlekele. Uluntu oluncinane kunye neNkosana uWilliam Sound, njengoValdez , lwachithwa ngumtshangatshi owawubethayo, kwaye isixeko ngoku siphelele kwindawo entsha malunga neekhilomitha ezili-6 ukusuka kwisiza sokuqala.
Ndiya kutyelela iAlaska kungekudala; Ngaba ndimele ndikhathazeke?
Inombolo Njengazo zonke izendalo, iinyikima ze-Alaska ziyingxenye yombuso welizwe, unobuthakathaka njengoko kunokwenzeka. Into ebalulekileyo kunazo zonke umntu ohlala kwilizwe okanye ukutyelela inyikima komhlaba kukulungiselela. Iintsapho zase-Alaska zikhuthazwa ukwakha "i-kit yongxamiseko" yokutya, amanzi, i-fuel, kunye nendawo yokukhusela ukuya kwiveki xa kwenzeka enye inyikima yamandla afana no-1964. Abantwana besikolo bafundiswa "I-Duck, Cover, and Hold" eyaziwayo, ukufihla phantsi kweedkski ngexesha lokuqhuba rhoqo, kunye nalawo bantwana kwimimandla yonxweme, ukuqhuba ukukhutshwa kwe-tsunami. Qaphela: Ngomhla kaJanuwari 24, ngo-2016, inyikima enkulu ye-7.1 yabetha i-Cook Inlet malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-100 ezantsi kwe-Anchorage, eyenza umonakalo omncinci kwi-Anchorage kodwa ukuphula igesi kunye namanzi e- Kenai Peninsula .
Ukuba uhambo lwakho lukuzisa e-Alaska, kukho iingcebiso zokulawula inyikima, kuba yi-trembler encinci okanye i-shaker enkulu.
- Yazi indawo yakho. Ngaba ufuphi izakhiwo ezinkulu? Ulwandle? Kumgangatho ophezulu wehotele? Cwangcisa phambili ekuphumeni kwakho, kwaye ubuze abasebenzi kwiehotele ukuba bane-protocol yxamisekileyo (phantse konke ukwenza).
- Beka izicathulo zakho, ibhatyi, izitshixo kunye neselfowuni ecaleni okanye ekufikeleleni kwebhedi yakho. Khumbula, izinto ziya kugubha kwaye ngamanye amaxesha ziwa phantsi kwenyikima, ngoko uya kufuna ukufumana izinto ezintle kangangoko unako ngaphambi kokuba uhlale ubusuku ukuze ukwazi ukubamba ngokukhawuleza.
- Ukuba kwenzeka inyikima kwaye ungaphakathi, hlala ngaphakathi. Musa ukugijima ngaphandle. Yiya ngaphantsi kombhede, idesksi, okanye itafile, kwaye uvale ikhanda lakho. Ukuba akukho nto yokufihla ngaphantsi, hamba kufuphi nodonga lwangaphakathi, ufike phantsi, ufikelele intloko yakho. Ungasondeli iifestile, izixhobo ezinkulu, okanye iikhabhinethi. Hlalani apho kude kube lula ukukhawuleza, okungaba yiminitha embalwa okanye imizuzu embalwa. Ukuba uhlala ehotele okanye kwindawo ephakamileyo yoluntu, landela izikhokelo ezivela kubasebenzi okanye izikhokelo zokutyelela ukukhutshwa ngokukhuselekileyo, ukuba kuyimfuneko. Qaphela ukuba iinkqubo zokufafaza okanye i-alamu zomlilo zingabangela ukugubha.
