I-Rio Grande rift iyisici esiphezulu se-geologic esivela esigodini esiphezulu. Imifucumfucu iyakhiwa lapho umhlabathi we-crust uhamba futhi uhamba. Izakhiwo ezibangelwa ukuhamba komgudu womhlaba zihlukaniswa njenge-tectonic. I-New Mexico ibhekene nezwe elingasenyakatho nenyakatho elibangelwa iColorado Plateau elisuka emaHlondeni aPhakeme, ngokuyinhloko idala ukuqhuma. I-Rio Grande iqhubekela phambili, futhi inkambo yayo ilawulwa yi-shape and shape shape.
Engxenyeni esenyakatho yeRio Grande rift incane futhi yenziwe uchungechunge lwamachibi aphethwe yizintaba. Umgogodla ukhula eningizimu yeSocorro, futhi engxenyeni eseningizimu yombuso, uhlangene nesifundazwe sesifundazwe nesifundazwe senyakatho-ntshonalanga yeNew Mexico , ngokubanzi.
Akuzona zonke izingxenye zeRio Grande rift ezaqala ukudonsa eceleni ngesikhathi esifanayo. Isandiso eseningizimu sathuthuka cishe eminyakeni eyizigidi ezingu-36 edlule. Enyakatho, lo mbhikisho waqala ukudala cishe izigidi ezingu-26 zeminyaka edlule.
Kuthiwani Ngeziqhumane?
Lapho isikhumba saqala ukuhlukanisa, senza ukuqhuma kwentaba, noma ukuqhuma kwentaba-mlilo endaweni. Izinsalela ze-volcanic zingabonakala lapho zibuka entshonalanga ye- Albuquerque , lapho kuhlala khona imfuyo yabo. I-Valles Caldera eduze neLos Alamos ingenye ye-calderas encane kunazo zonke emhlabeni, eyadlula eminyakeni engaphezu kwesigidi edlule ngokuwa kwegumbi lamagma.
Kuthiwani Ngokuzamazama Komhlaba?
Kukhona ubufakazi bokuthi ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu kwenzeka eningizimu-ntshonalanga yeColorado eminyakeni engama-5 000 kuya ku-15 000.
Lezizamazamazama komhlaba (7.0 ubukhulu noma ngaphezulu) ngeke kwenzeke nakuba kungenzeka. Umsebenzi wokuzamazama komhlaba esifundeni saseNew Mexico uphansi ukulinganisa, unengozi ephakeme kakhulu yokuvela ezindaweni ezihamba phambili.
Imifudlana ibangela ukuchithwa kwezinto ezibonakalayo ezigcwalisa izidakamizwa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Izitsha zomhlabathi ze-Albuquerque zingaphezu kwamamitha amathathu ubukhulu.
Ingabe ukuqhubekela phambili kuqhubeka nokukhulisa namuhla? Yebo, kodwa kancane kancane ngeke kuphawulwe. Ukuqhuma kuhamba cishe ngamamitha angu-0.5 no-2 ngonyaka.
I-Rio Grande rift ikhethekile ngokwezimo. Imikhakha embalwa kakhulu etholakala emhlabathini, iningi lwakhiwa phakathi kwamanqamu asolwandle. Ezinye izakhiwo zomhlaba zihlanganisa ukuqhuma kwe-East African, ngezinye izikhathi kuthiwa yi-Great Rift Valley, neLake Baikal, egcwele amachibi aseRussia.
Ngingayitholaphi Kakhulu Nge-Rio Grande Rift?
I-Rio Grande rift ingenye yezizathu ezintsha eNew Mexico. Ukuze uthole kabanzi mayelana ne-geology ye-New Mexico, vakashela i- New Mexico Museum ye-Natural History neSayensi . Uzothola ulwazi mayelana nezenzakalo ze-geologicalic geological and age, ezifanekiselwa amamephu, imidwebo nokuningi.
