Intaba-mlilo iKilauea, enye yezindawo eziqhuma kakhulu emhlabeni, isiphinde yaqala phansi ukuqhuma kwayo esiQhingini Esikhulu saseHawaii. Lesi siqephu esisha siqale ngoLwesibili ekuseni, ngesikhathi kutholwa udaka luphuma emgodini omkhulu. Naphezu kwemvelo emangalisayo yalesi simo, Iziphathimandla zikuqinisekisile ukuthi izindawo zokuhlala azikho engozini ngokushesha..
Kusukela ngo-December 23, iKilauea iye yaba nochungechunge lokuqhuma kwezikhawu., nezikhathi zomsebenzi ezihluka kusukela emahoreni ambalwa kuya ezinsukwini eziyisishiyagalombili. Lesi siqephu sakamuva, esenzeka ngaphakathi kwe-Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, sidonse ukunaka kwezivakashi eziningi nezakhamuzi, ezithutheleka ezindaweni zokubuka ukuze zibuke lo mbukwane wemvelo.
Ukushuba kwesimo nemininingwane yesiqephu sakamuva
I-Hawaiian Volcano Observatory yabika lokho Ukuqhuma kwaqala khona kanye ngo-10:16 ekuseni, ngaleso sikhathi udaka lwaqala ukuqhuma kusukela phansi kwe-Halemaʻumaʻu crater. Ngemva nje kwemizuzu engamashumi amathathu, umoya wakhipha amakholomu odaka olufinyelela phezulu Amamitha ayi-100 ukuphakama.
Lesi yisiqephu sesishiyagalolunye sokuqhuma kuze kube manje kulo nyaka, esinephethini efana neyangaphambilini, ebonise imijikelezo yomsebenzi nokuphumuza. Ochwepheshe bahlale beqapha ukuvela kwalesi simo. ukuthola noma yiziphi izinguquko ezingaba khona ekuziphatheni kwentaba-mlilo, ulwazi olungabuye lutholakale ezihlokweni ezimayelana ukuhlukaniswa ngokwezwe kwezintaba-mlilo.
Isihloko mayelana ukuqhuma kwentaba-mlilo iMauna Loa kanye nomsebenzi wentaba-mlilo eHawaii ngokuvamile kusiza ukuqonda umsebenzi weKilauea kanye nengqikithi yawo esifundeni.
Umthelela kubantu kanye nezokuvakasha
I-Kilauea itholakala cishe Amakhilomitha angama-320 eningizimu-mpumalanga ye-Honolulu, endaweni eye yabona ukuqhuma okuningi ngokomlando. Nakuba udaka luqhubeka evalelwe ngaphakathi kwe-crater, iziphathimandla zinxuse izakhamuzi nezivakashi ukuthi zihlale zinolwazi ngokuqhubekayo kulo mcimbi.
Ngaleso sikhathi, iHawaii Volcanoes National Park itholiwe inqwaba yezivakashi, abaye bathatha ithuba lokubona isenzakalo semvelo ezindaweni eziphephile zokubuka. Iziphathimandla zendawo ziqinise izinyathelo zokuphepha ukuze kuvinjelwe izigameko kanye nokuqinisekisa ukuthi izivakashi zigcina a ibanga eliphephile.
Emashumini ambalwa eminyaka adlule, iKilauea ibilokhu ibangela ukuqhuma okunomthelela omkhulu, okufana nokwangonyaka ka-2018, okwacekela phansi amakhulukhulu emizi esiqhingini. Noma kunjalo, Lesi siqephu esisha asizange sibonise izimpawu zokusongela okufanayo..
I-Kilauea iyaqhubeka nokubonisa amandla amakhulu emvelo, ngokuqhuma, kuze kube manje, okusalokhu kuqukethwe ngaphakathi kwemingcele ye-Halemaʻumaʻu crater. Njengoba iziphathimandla ziqhubeka nokuqapha lesi sigameko, izivakashi nezakhamuzi ziyaqhubeka nokutheleka kuleli paki ukuze zizibonele mathupha ukuqhuma kwentaba-mlilo.
