Ukuhamba koqweqwe lomhlaba kuholela ekucindezelekeni okukuwo. Lokhu kushuba kuyakhululeka ngokukhishwa kwamandla amakhulu abangela ukuzamazama komhlaba. Kwesinye isikhathi sibona kuthelevishini ezindabeni ngokunye ukushaqeka okwenzeke noma kuphi emhlabeni futhi sicabanga ukuthi into enjalo ayivamile. Eqinisweni, kuba nokuzamazama komhlaba okungaba yingxenye yesigidi minyaka yonke. Eziningi zazo zincane futhi azilimazi, kepha ezinamandla zenza umonakalo omkhulu.
Ukugxila kanye ne-epicenter
Ukuzamazama komhlaba kuqala ngaphansi komhlaba endaweni ebizwa ngokuthi i-focal point, noma i-hypocenter. Iphuzu ngqo ngenhla kwalo ebusweni bomhlaba libizwa ngokuthi i-epicenter. Kuleli qophelo lapho kuzwakala khona ukushaqeka okuqine kakhulu.
Igagasi lokushaqeka
Amandla akhululiwe kusuka ekugxileni asakazeka ngokushesha ngesimo samandla we-wave, noma i-wave wave. Njengoba usuka ekugxileni, amandla e-wave wave ayancipha.
I-Tsunami
Ukuzamazama komhlaba kungadala amagagasi amakhulu olwandle - ama-tsunami. Lapho befika emhlabeni, bangalimaza ngokweqile. Ngo-2004, ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu eThailand nase-Indonesia ezansi koLwandlekazi i-Indian kwabangela i-tsunami e-Asia eyabulala abantu abangaphezu kuka-230,000.
Ukulinganisa amandla okuzamazama komhlaba
Ochwepheshe abacwaninga ukuzamazama komhlaba babizwa ngokuthi ama-seismologists. Zinezinsimbi eziningi ezahlukahlukene, kufaka phakathi iziphuphutheki nama-seismographs, ezithwebula ukudlidlizela komhlaba futhi zikala amandla ezimo ezinjalo.
Isikali sikaRichter
Isikali sikaRichter sikhombisa ukuthi angakanani amandla akhishwe ngesikhathi kuzamazama umhlaba, noma kungenjalo - ubukhulu besimo. Ukudlidliza okunesilinganiso esingu-3.5 akunakunakwa, kepha akukwazi ukudala umonakalo omkhulu. Ukuzamazama komhlaba okubhubhisayo kulinganiselwa kubukhulu be-7.0 noma ngaphezulu. Ukuzamazama komhlaba okwadala i-tsunami ngo-2004 kwaba namandla angaphezu kuka-9.0.
