Intshayelelo
IMemphis ihleli ngokukhawuleza kwinqanaba lomonakalo weNew Madrid yaseNew Error, eyona nto iphosakeleyo kwimpuma yeRockies. Ingqungquthela ephazamisayo eyona nto yavela phantse kwiminyaka engama-200 eyadlulayo, ishiya i-seismologists icacise ukuba "inkulu" elandelayo ingathi ijikeleze ekona.
Indawo
Ummandla omtsha waseMadrid oseMasia useMntla we-Mississippi Valley, ubude ubude beekhilomitha ezili-150, kwaye uthintela ezintlanu.
Ingongoma yayo esentla ngasentla e-Illinois kwaye iqhubela ngasezantsi ukuya eMpuma yeA Arkansas nasentshonalanga eTennessee.
Naluphi na iinyikima ezenzekayo kule ndawo ye-Seismic zingabandakanyeka kwiindawo ezisibhozo, kuquka i-Arkansas, i-Illinois, i-Indiana, eKentucky, eMissouri, eMississippi, e-Oklahoma, kwaye kunjalo, eTennessee.
Imbali
Ukususela ngo-1811 ukuya ku-1812, iNdawo yaseNew Madrid ye-Fault yabona ezinye iinyikima ezinkulu kunazo zonke kwimbali yaseMntla Melika. Ngexesha leenyanga ezine, iinyikima ezinhlanu ezinokulinganiselwa okukhulu kwe-8.0 okanye ngaphezulu zabhalwa kwindawo. Ezi zintlupheko zinoxanduva lokubangela ukuba uMlambo waseMississippi uqhubele phambili ngokukhawuleza, ekhokelela ekwakhiweni kweLwandle lwaseReelfoot.
Umsebenzi
I-New Madrid Fault Zone ibonisa ubuncinane ubunyikima enye ngosuku, nangona ininzi yale ntshukumo ibuthathaka kakhulu ukuba sizive. Abemi bexesha elide baseMemph bangazikhumbula ii-5.0 ezenzeka ngoMatshi ka-1976 okanye ngo-4.8 ngoSeptemba ka-1990.
Iingcali zenzululwazi zithi ubukhulu be-6.0 okanye inyikima enkulu enzekayo kwi-New Madrid Fault kwiminyaka engama-50 ezayo iphakathi kwama-25 no-40 ekhulwini.
Ngo-2012, i-United States Geological Survey yabika inyikima ye-4.0 inkulu kwi-New Madrid ye-Seismic zone kunye ne-epicenter yase-Parkin, e-Arkansas, eyayingabonwa ngathi ngabemi baseMemphis.
IYunivesithi yaseMemphis ibamba iGosa loPhando loThutho kunye noLwazi (CERTI), umbutho osungulwe ngowe-1977 ukujonga umsebenzi wesistim e-Mid-South usebenzisa ubuchwepheshe benkcenkceshela. Banikezela ngokuhlaziywa kunye nolwazi malunga nokuzamazama komhlaba kunye nezenzo ezilungileyo, kunye nokufundisa abafundi abaphumelele kwintsimi.
Ukukhuseleka komhlaba
Zininzi iindlela zokuhlala zilungele ukukhuselwa kwenyikima eMemphis. Okokuqala, unokugcina ikiti yokuphila kwenyikima ekhaya lakho nasemotweni yakho. Ingcinga efanelekileyo ukuba ufunde indlela yokucima igesi, amanzi kunye nombane ekhaya lakho. Ukuba unezinto ezinzima ezixhomekeke ezindongeni zasekhaya lakho, qi ni sekise ukuba ziqinisekisiwe. Emva koko, yenza isicwangciso kunye nosapho ukuze uhlangane emva kwenyikima (okanye nayiphi na inhlekelele). Ekugqibeleni, unokongeza ukukhuselwa kwenyikima kwi-inshorensi yomnini-yindlu yomshuwalense.
Kwimeko Yokuzamazama komhlaba
Ngexesha lokuzamazama komhlaba, gcungela phantsi kwefenitshala enzima okanye uzibophe emnyango. Kufuneka uhlale kude nezakhiwo, imithi, imigqa yamandla kunye nokugqitha. Qinisekisa ukuphulaphula umsakazo okanye umabonwakude kuyo nayiphi na imiyalelo evela kumagosa angxamisekileyo. Xa ukuzamazama kumile, khangela ukuba uzenzakalise wena nabanye.
Emva koko, khangela iinkxalabo zokhuseleko: izakhiwo ezingaqinisekanga, ukuvuza kwegesi, imigqa yamandla, phantsi
