- Ubukhulu ngaphezu kwezilwandle: 5,897 m;
- Ukuqhuma kokugcina: Agasti 2015;
- Uhla lwezintaba: i- Andes.
I-volcano yeCotopaxi iyindawo ephawulekayo ye- Ecuador , okuyinto yesibili esiphezulu kakhulu ezweni, kanye ne-volcano ephakeme kakhulu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Cotopaxi ingenye yezintaba-mlilo ezivulekile kakhulu emhlabeni, abantu abaningi bafuna ukubona lesi sigameko semvelo esigcwele amandla nobuhle. Kodwa okuthakazelisayo kakhulu, mhlawumbe - yilapho iCotopaxi intaba-mlilo itholakala khona. Phela, itholakala engamakhilomitha angama-60 ukusuka enhlokodolobha yase-Ecuador - i- Quito . Futhi lokhu kuyamangalisa ngempela, ngoba eminyakeni engu-140 eyedlule ukuqhuma komkhumbi kwakuqinile kangangokuthi imikhiqizo yokuqhuma etholakala e-Amazon ngamakhilomitha angamakhulu amaningana ukusuka ku-volcano. Futhi ngesikhathi sokugcina intaba-mlilo iboniswe kamuva nje, ngo-Agasti 2015.
I-Volcano Cotopaxi - ikhadi elivakashelwayo lase-Ecuador
I-Cotopaxi intaba-mlilo ibhekwa njengekhadi elivakashelayo lelizwe. Iqukethe isimo se-cone esiphelele futhi ibukeka kahle kakhulu. Abaningi bawuqhathanisa neNtaba yaseFuji, okuwuphawu lweJapane. I-Cotopaxi ephezulu, eqala ngamamitha angu-4,700, ihlanganiswa nezinyoka ezingapheli ezingancibiliki elangeni. Ngesikhathi esifanayo inyawo lendiza ligcwele izitshalo eziluhlaza, ngakho-ke intaba-mlilo iphakathi kwepaki elilodwa kanye nekhaya cishe ezinhlobonhlobo zezinyoni zezilwane, kanye nezilwane eziningi - ezivela ezinogwaja kuya enyangeni.
I-Cotopaxi ine-craters ezimbili, enye yazo idala, enye ingumfana omncane ongaphakathi. Kuyamangalisa ukuthi bobabili banomumo ophelele. Izivakashi, kubonakala sengathi zihle kakhulu, zidwetshwe ngumculi onethalente. I-Cotopaxi ivame ukuhlobisa amabhodi amabhodi e-Ecuador.
I-Cotopaxi i-volcano esebenzayo noma ephele?
I-volcano ye-Cotopaxi ifakwe kuhlu lwezintaba-mlilo ezisebenzayo emhlabeni futhi namuhla kulandelwa eduze ngokubhekwa kwamahora angu-24 hhayi kuphela yizifundazwe, kodwa futhi nabakhileyo bendawo, abalindele ukushintsha kwemizwelo kusukela e-volcano nsuku zonke. Ukuqhuma kokuqala kweCotopaxus kwenzeka ngo-1532, ngemva kwalokho kwafa eminyakeni ecishe ibe ngu-200, futhi ngo-1742 kwaphinde kwaphazamisa ama-Ecuadorians. Lokhu kwenzeka futhi ngo-1768, ngo-1864 futhi ngo-1877. Ngemva kokulala cishe iminyaka engu-140, ngo-2015 wazikhumbuza.
Kodwa esabekayo kakhulu futhi enamandla kwakuyi-eruption ngo-1768. Khona-ke wabangela ukulimala okukhulu ezindaweni ezizungezile. Endleleni, wabhubhisa umuzi waseLatakunga . U-Ephreli 4 uzohlala njalo enkumbulweni yabantu base-Ecuador kanti ikakhulu izakhamuzi zaseQuito . Khona-ke intaba-mlilo yaziphatha kabi, yahluma amakhulu amathani we-lava futhi yayihambisana ne-cannonade. Izakhamuzi zenhloko-dolobha zazisebumnyameni obukhulu, azizange zibone ngisho nezintende zezandla zabo, kodwa ukukhanya okwakubonisa ukuqhuma kwentaba ebonakalayo kubonakala ngamashumi amakhilomitha.
Uphi i-Cotopaxi yentaba?
Indawo engokwemvelo ingamakhilomitha angu-60 ukusuka kuQuito. Ukuze ufike kuso, udinga ukuya ku-Route 35, ngemuva kwedolobha lase-Aloag, landela izimpawu. Izixhumanisi eziqondile ze-volcano Cotopaxi 0 ° 41 'eningizimu latitude 78 ° 25' 60 "ubude obungasentshonalanga. Futhi, amabhasi okuhamba agijimela eCotopaxi, ngoba into emangalisayo yemvelo ayikwazi ukusiza kodwa ihambisane nezinkondlo ezithakazelisayo namaqiniso amangalisayo, ngakho-ke umhlahlandlela ohambweni olunjalo udingekile.
