E- Australia, azikho izintaba-mlilo ezisebenzayo: leli zwekazi "liphumula" e-slab eqinile, ngakho-ke akukho msebenzi wezinto eziphilayo e-Australia cishe iminyaka eyizigidi eziyi-1.5 - ngokungafani nePolynesia, umakhelwane oseduze kakhulu wase-Australia, lapho kunezikhukhula eziphakeme kunazo zonke emhlabeni iMuna Loa neMauna Kea .
Zikhona yini izintaba-mlilo e-Australia?
E-Australia, izintaba-mlilo eziqhutshwayo "zomakhelwane" zinikeza izinkinga ezimbalwa - zivele zifinyelele ezweni. Into kuphela engathinta umsebenzi we-tectonic wezintaba-mlilo endaweni eseduze nezwe eliyisitshalo segesi eshalofini elisogwini.
Uma ucabanga i-Australia hhayi njengezwekazi, kepha njengesizwe, kufanele ukhumbule ukuthi lihlanganisa iziqhingi zasePolynesia nase-Oceania. Ngakho-ke, impendulo yombuzo othi "Zikhona yini izintaba-mlilo e-Australia" izoba nenhle. Kodwa uhlu lwezintaba-mlilo eziphelile e-Australia lukhulu kakhulu; kuhlanganisa izintaba-mlilo ezingu-18, ezifana ne-Atherton (emithambekeni yalo namuhla idolobha lase-Atherton, lo mlilo uqhuma ngokushesha nje - eminyakeni engaba ngu-100 000 edlule), i-Barrin ne-Ichem (emaceleni awo manje anegama elifanayo lechibi), i-Hillsborough, Bundaberg nabanye.
Mawson
I-4000 km ukusuka e-Australia yisiqhingi se-Heard, esiyi-basalt stratovolcano Mawson (unegama elinye - "Big Ben"). I-Mawson iyi-volcano esebenzayo: ukuqhuma kwayo kubhalwe ngo-1881, 1910, 1950-1954, 1984-1985, 1993, 2000. Ukugcina ukuqhuma kwenzeka manje kusukela ngoMeyi 2006 kuya kuNovemba 2007.
Waqanjwa ngokuthi uMawson ngokuhlonishwa kwe-geologist yase-Australia, umhloli wezizwe wase-Antarctica uDouglas Mawson. Le ntabamlilo iphakama ngaphezu kwezinga elwandle kuze kufike ku-2745 m (yiyona ndawo ephakeme kakhulu e-Australia). Ismthmus encane ixhuma iMawson ne-volcano eseduze eDickson.
Isifunda esingaphansi komhlaba sezintaba-mlilo e-Afrikakazi
Ngonyaka ka-2015, incwadi kaCnet yashicilela imiphumela etholakala yiqembu elicwaninga eliholwa nguRodi Davis: I-Australia itholakale i-continental chain of volcanoes elide kunayo yonke emhlabeni, efihlekile ekujuleni komhlaba. Ubude besethungwini luyizinkulungwane ezimbili zamakhilomitha, cishe ubukhulu obuphindwe kabili ngaphezu kobude be-chainstone engaphansi kwe-Yellowstone.
I-chain of volcanoes, eyathola igama lezinkondlo elithi "The Trail of Fire," liwela ingxenye engasempumalanga yezwe lonke cishe ngokuphelele. Yakhiwe ngenxa yokuhamba kwezwekazi (ngenkathi lishintsha) phezu kwephuzu elishisayo le-volcanic esembatho somhlaba. Ubude akuyona kuphela isici esithakazelisayo se-"Campfire Trail": sitholakala kude ngokwanele kusuka etafuleni le-tectonic lapho i-continent yase-Australia ihlala khona, ngakho-ke lolu chungechunge ludonsela ukunakwa kwabasosayensi: bakholelwa ukuthi ukutadisha kwalo kungakhanyisa izinqubo zezinkampani zamazwekazi.
Iziqhingi ze-Volcanic zase-Australia
I-770 km ukusuka eSydney iyisiqhingi se-volcanic se-Lord Howe, esiqhingini esidala kunazo zonke se-Pacific Ocean; lakhiwa ngenxa yokuhlanganiswa kweziqhingi ezimbili zeziqhingi. Emakhilomitha angu-20 ukusuka kuwo kukhona esinye isiqhingi se-volcanic, iBols-Pyramid (zombili iziqhingi zavulwa ngesikhathi esisodwa, ngo-1788). I-Bol-Pyramid iyona ephakeme kunazo zonke izikhukhula ze-volcanic, ubude bayo obuphakeme buyi-562 m ngaphezu kolwandle. Namuhla lesi siqhingi siyingxenye yeNkosi Howe Marine Park.
