I-Waba Crater Phakathi Kwezindawo Eziphezulu Eziyi-100 Ze-Geological

I-UNESCO kanye ne-IUGS banayo oqokiwe I-Waba Crater yase-Saudi Arabia iphakathi kwezingu-100 eziphezulu zamagugu ezwe emhlabeni. Lokhu kuvezwe okhulumela iSaudi Geological Survey, uTariq Aba Al-Khail. I-UNESCO imele i-United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, kanti i-IUGS imele i-International Union of Geological Sciences. U-Al-Khail waphawula, “I-Al-Wahbah Crater, kanye nezinye izindawo ezikhethiwe ze-geological emhlabeni jikelele, ziyizindawo ezikhuthazayo ezifaka isandla ekuthuthukiseni ukuvakasha kwe-geological kanye nokuthuthukisa isayensi ye-geological, ehlinzeka ngamathuba ayingqayizivele okusabalalisa ulwazi emkhakheni wesayensi yomhlaba.” Ngaphambi kokuqokwa kwe-Waba Crater, ikomidi lochwepheshe bezemvelo abangama-89 lenze ukuhlola. I-UNESCO kanye ne-IUGS bakhethe i-crater phakathi kwezindawo eziyi-174 ezaziqokelwe ohlwini lwezimpawu zomhlaba eziyi-100 eziphezulu. Ngaphandle kweSaudi Arabia, amazwe anjengeCanada, China, Egypt, Finland, Iceland, New Zealand, kanye ne-USA nawo athumele imingenelo. Enye indawo esohlwini lwe-UNESCO, uhlu lwezindawo ze-UNESCO World Heritage, ikakhulukazi, yi Isifunda saseJeddah esingokomlando .

Mayelana neWaba Crater

Abantu futhi bhekisa ukuya eWaba Crater njenge-Al-Wahba Crater, i-Tamiya Quarry, i-Maar Volcano, noma i-Maqla Tamiyyah. Kusendaweni yentaba-mlilo yaseHarrat Kishb, amakhilomitha angaba ngu-270 enyakatho-mpumalanga yedolobha laseSaudi iJeddah. Ngokuka-Al-Khail, iWaba Crater ingenye yezintaba-mlilo ezinkulu ezomile emhlabeni. Futhi iyintaba-mlilo ejule futhi enkulu kunazo zonke eSaudi Arabia. Ihlanganisa insimu yentaba-mlilo enemvelaphi eyodwa eyakhiwe izintaba-mlilo ezincane ezingu-175 ezithatha indawo ecishe ibe amakhilomitha-skwele ayizi-6,000. Iminyaka yezintaba-mlilo ezincane isukela eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane ezimbalwa kuya eminyakeni eyizigidi ezimbili ubudala. Ngaphandle kwalezi zici, izimila eziluhlaza , ngokumangalisayo, nalo liyakhula lizungeze unqenqema nemithambeka yalo. Kukhona ngisho nezihlahla zesundu nezihlahlana. Abavakashi bangavakashela i-Waba Crater ngokushayela besuka e-Jeddah noma e-Taif noma ngokuthola izinkonzo zomhlahlandlela. Kungenzeka ukushayela uzungeze unqenqema lwe-crater noma ugibele phansi uze ufike phansi.

Indlela i-crater eyakhiwe ngayo

Ngaphezu kwalokho, umkhulumeli weSaudi Geological Survey uphinde waphawula ukuthi i-Waba Crater yakhiwa cishe eminyakeni eyizigidi eziyi-1.1 edlule. Ijule ngamamitha angu-250, ububanzi bawo bungamakhilomitha angu-2.3. Iphinde ibe nechibi elingashoni noma indishi kasawoti ngenxa yobuningi bamanzi emvula. Amakristalu e-sodium phosphate amboza phansi kwe-crater. Ochwepheshe ngaphambilini babecabanga ukuthi i-meteorite yakha i-Waba Crater, ngoba ibukeka njenge-Barringer Crater. Futhi ngoba iyindilinga ngokubukeka futhi inezinhlangothi eziphakeme. I-Barringer Crater iyi- impact crater noma i-meteor crater enyakatho ye-Arizona, United States. Kulezi zinsuku, izazi zokwakheka komhlaba manje zibhekisela ku-Waba Crater ngokuthi i-maar crater ngoba yakhiwa ukuqhuma kwentaba-mlilo. Ikakhulukazi, ukuqhuma kwe-phreatic ngaphansi komhlaba kwakha i-crater. Lokhu kwenzeka lapho i-magma ishisa amanzi angaphansi komhlaba noma amanzi angaphezulu, okubangela ukuqhuma kwesitimu, amanzi, umlotha, noma amatshe ashisayo.
