I-Hekla ngokuqondile ibhekwa njenge-volcano edume kakhulu e- Iceland . Ngeke kube nzima ukuthola i-Hekla volcano ebalazweni, itholakala engxenyeni eseningizimu yezwe, hhayi kude nenhloko-dolobha. Inokuphakama kwamamitha angu-1491 futhi ayinakulinganiswa kakhulu. Esikhathini sonyaka unyaka wonke intaba igcwele inkungu namafu. Ukubukeka kwesiqongo kufana nekhanda elihlosiwe le-monk, kungenxa yokuthi kufana nengubo yesiko yase-Iceland "i-hekla" ukuthi igama le-volcano livele.
Ukuqhuma kwe-volcano yeHekla
Mayelana neYurophu, lapho i-Hekla Volcano ikhona khona, abaseYurophu bafunda esikhathini eside esidlule. Ukukhulunywa kokuqala kokuqhuma kwe-Hekla intaba-mlilo kuthiwa ku-1104 AD. Lokhu kuqhuma kwe-lava kwabangela izinkolelo eziningi zezinkolelo-ze. Amakholi aseCistercian asakazezela ngamahemuhemu ukuthi i-Hekla intaba-mlilo ingenye yezingeniso ezintathu eziya eHayeni, kanye nezintaba-mlilo i-Vesuvius ne-Broken. Kuze kube sesikhathini sethu, okungenani ukuqhuma okungaphezulu kuka-20 kwamandla ahlukene kuye kwaboniswa, kamuva nje ngo-2000. Ngobuhlukile bukaHecla uthi i-calc-alkaline lava yayo: e-Iceland, izwe lama-volcano angu-140, kodwa kuphela i-chemistry enomkhiqizo onjalo. Njengoba ukuhlonza ngalesi sibonakaliso kwenza kube lula ukuhlaziywa kwemali evulekile, kungase kuqinisekiswe ukuthi i-Hekla esebenzayo ihlala ingenani iminyaka engama-6,5. Konke ukukhululwa komlotha wokushisa komlilo kuvelele. Ukubona ngaphambili lapho uHerla evuka futhi kunzima kakhulu. Ukubheka komsebenzi wokuzamazama komhlaba wale ndawo kusivumela ukuba sithi into eyodwa kuphela: isikhathi eside lapho umthala-mlilo ungabonakali uqobo, ukuqina kwe-volkswagen okulandelayo kuqina.
Okukhulu kunqatshelwe ukuthi kwenzeke ngo-950 BC. Khona-ke umkhathi waba nemitha engamakhilogremu angu-7.3 emlilweni ovela emhlabathini wangaphakathi. Imiphumela ye-ejection itholakala ngaphansi kwamachibi aseScotland. Umphumela we-cataclysm enamandla eNyakatho Hemisphere kwaba ukudonsa okubukhali ekushiseni kwemoya, ukushisa kombuso eMhlabeni kutholakale ngemva kweminyaka eyishumi kuphela. Ubude bezinkathi ezineziyaluyalu eduze ne-volcano nakho akufani. Ukuphazamiseka kudlule kusuka emavikini ambalwa kuya ngonyaka. Icala lomsebenzi omude kunayo yonke kaHecla ngo-1947 kubhaliwe, lo ngumnyaka wokuqhuma okukhulu kwe-volcano Hekla emlandweni wesimanje wesintu.| | |
Ukuvakasha ku-volcano yeHekla
Isikhumulo sokuqala esisemthethweni eHecla senziwa ngu-Egert Olafson noBjarni Palson ngo-June 20, 1750. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, siyakubonga ububanzi bezintaba eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-40, unyaka ngamunye sihlabela ezixukwini zezivakashi. I-volcano ye-Hekla iyamangalisa, isebenzayo noma iphela, yibo bonke, ngokukwesaba ngokubukeka sengathi iphutha elide elingama-5.5 km. Kuvela kulokhu kuqubuka ukuthi kuqhuma ukuqhuma kwezibhamu ze-lava, futhi amathani omlotha ontaba-mlilo asusiwe. Esimweni esinokuthula, intaba-mlilo iyindawo engavamile yezivakashi. Ebusika, eduze komkhumbi, ungabheka imigwaqo, futhi ehlobo emapulazini abahambi bahlanganyela ezintabeni noma bahamba ngezinyawo. Muva nje, iphrojekthi iye yaqaliswa ukubuyisela izitshalo emithambekeni kaHecla. Ezenzweni zokukhula ezingaphezu kwamahektha angu-90 zamahlathi, lapho izinhlobo eziyinhloko ziyi-birch kanye ne-Willow.
