I-Niagara - umfula eMelika onamapopho ahlukile

I-Niagara ingumfula, ongomunye wemifudlana emikhulu yamanzi eNyakatho Melika. Ubuhle bayo bungaba nomona. Phela, akusiyo isiteshi esicacile, egeleza endaweni. Ukuyingqayizivele komfula ukuthi kunamanzi amaningi. Ziyaziwa emhlabeni wonke. Abantu abaningi bazimisele ukuza lapha okungenani kanye ukuze babone ubuhle obungavamile.

Incazelo yeNiagara (ngokufushane)

Abaningi banesithakazelo ngqo lapho bevela khona nokuthi yiliphi iLwandle loMfula i-Niagara. Umsuka wayo uvela e- Erie Lake. Umfula ungumngcele wezwe phakathi kwe-United States of America neCanada. E-United States, i-Niagara igeleza esifundazweni saseNew York, futhi eCanada amabhange ayo ayesemngceleni wesifundazwe sase-Ontario. Ubude bomfula bungu-56 km, okwamanje kuqondiswe ikakhulu enyakatho, umthamo wamanzi ungamamitha ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-665. I-Km. Kodwa umfula u-Niagara ugeleza ngumuphi umfula? Njengoba kungaqondwa kusukela kulolu lwazi olungenhla, ukugeleza kwamanzi kuphela uhambo lwayo eCanada. Uwela eLake Ontario.

I-Hydronym

Igama lomfula lafika kithi kumaNdiya ahlala kule ndawo. Ngolimi lwe-Iroquois lalibizwa nge-Ongiara, ngesihumusho sangempela "umhlabathi uyingxenye." Ngokuyinhloko kwakuyiqiniso ukuthi eNiagara engenhla ihlukaniswe ngamagatsha amabili, ngenxa yokuthi iziqhingi zazakhiwa. Abanye babo bangabanikazi base-USA (isiqhingi saseGrand Island) kanti esinye seCanada (isiqhingi saseNavi).

Umlando omncane

I-Niagara ingumfula, oneminyaka engu-6 000 ubudala ubudala. Umlando walo ungabizwa ngokukhethekile. Phakathi nalesi sikhathi, izenzakalo eziningi ezibalulekile zenzeka. Umsebenzi weqhwa lokugcina laseNyakatho Melika wakha amaLwandle Omkhulu kanye noMfula iNiagara. I-glacier, ehla phezulu, isuka ngaphandle kwamatshe, yenza imigwaqo. Ngakho, le mizimba yamanzi yavuka. Lapho isikhathi sokugcina siphela, umfudlana wawuhambela kule migwaqo futhi wazingcwaba ngokwawo ku-rapids, okwakhiwa uhlelo lwamanzi emvula ngaphansi kwamanzi.

I-Niagara Falls

I-Niagara - umfula uyingqayizivele, uma nje ngoba unezimpophoma. Ngenxa yokuxhumeka komfula, ungajabulela lezi zinhle. I-Niagara Falls ibhekwa njengenye yezinhle kakhulu emhlabeni. Ngakho-ke inesimiso esiyinkimbinkimbi semibundu, ngakho-ke, ngokudlula umsele ongakhiwe ngendlela efanele - i-Welland.

"Isimangaliso se-Niagara" - akusiyona indawo kuphela, kodwa isakhiwo esiyinkimbinkimbi esinezindawo eziningana, lapho amanzi emlambo ehla kakhulu ukusuka endaweni ephakeme ephakeme. Bonke bakha uhlelo olulodwa, olubanzi lwamapophoma. Ukuphakama kwamadwala kuhluka kakhulu. Amaphuzu aphezulu kulezi zivunguvungu zingaphezu kwamamitha ama-50 (afakwe ngemuva komngcele waseCanada), kanti ukuphakama kwalabo abasendaweni yaseMelika kungamamitha angama-21. Lo umehluko ngenxa yokuthi ema-50s ekhulwini lokugcina kwakukhona ukuphumula endaweni yamanzi aseMelika, Yakhiwe ngaphansi kwenkingi yamatshe.

Ukubaluleka kwama-waterfalls kumazwe

Lezi zinkimbinkimbi zinezimpophoma ezintathu - i-American, eCanada "Horseshoe" nesayithi okuthiwa "Fata". Ebubanzi bawo, zitholakala ngaphezu kwamamitha angu-1 000, futhi amandla okusakaza avumela ukuba isetshenziselwe ukukhiqiza amandla kagesi. Ngenxa yokuthi i-Niagara ingumfula onomlingiswa, iziteshi zamandla kagesi eziningana ezibalulekile zakhiwe ngaphansi kwamanzi.

Njengomthombo wamandla, amanzi omfula aqala ukusetshenziswa ekupheleni kwekhulu le-XVIII. Abalimi abancane nabomabhizinisi benza amashaneli amancane futhi banikeza amabhizinisi abo ngogesi. Kodwa kakade eminyakeni emikhulu, ukugeleza kwamanzi okuqinile kwaqala ukusetshenziswa ngasekupheleni kwekhulu le-19 emva kokusungulwa kukaTesla kwesinye isikhathi. Ngesikhathi samanje, ngaphansi kwamanzi emvula, amafemu namabhizinisi akhelwe ukuthi asebenzise ngempumelelo amandla wamanzi.

Inani lokugeleza kwamanzi kaNiagara

Ukuqonda lapho uMfula iNiagara ukhona kubaluleke kakhulu, njengoba amadolobha amaningana atholakala ogwini lwawo olujulile:

• I-Niagara Falls, Buffalo, Lewis - e-US.
• Fort Erie naseNiagra Falls - ogwini lwaseCanada.

Umfula kanye nezimpophoma zenani elikhulu lezomnotho kula mazwe amabili. Kanti futhi le ndawo iyathandwa yizivakashi, okuletha imali engenayo emakhokheni asezifundazweni.

Ukuthumela

UMfula i-Niagara unamanzi ajulile, afanele imikhumbi enamandla ehamba ngemikhumbi. Kodwa ngenxa ye-waterfall indlela iphazanyiswa. Ukuze kuxazululwe le nkinga, kwakhiwa umsele okhethekile owenzela umkhumbi, owavumela imikhumbi kusukela eminyakeni yama-1960 ukuba ihambe emfuleni ovela e-Atlantic Ocean eya e-Great Lakes nasemuva. Manje, njalo ngonyaka inani lezimpahla ezihamba ngale ndlela lifinyelela amathani ayizigidi ezingu-40.

I-canal inesistimu yesimanje yesimishini, ifakwe izikhiye eziyi-8 ezihambahambayo, ezingakwazi ukulawula izinga lamanzi futhi zinikeze ushintsho olukhululekile kusuka kwesinye samanzi ngamanzi.

Ukuvakasha

Ngokungangabazeki, izimpophoma ezisezingeni lezivakashi zithandwa kakhulu.
Njalo ngonyaka izigidi zezivakashi ezivela kuwo wonke amagumbi omhlaba ziza ukubona isimangaliso semvelo. Kulokhu, ingqalasizinda enamandla ithuthukiswe lapha. Abavakatjhi banethuba lokubheka i-waterfall emotweni yekhebula, i- helicopter noma ibhaluni. Kwakhiwa inombolo enkulu yezingxenyekazi zokubuka kanye nemibhoshongo lapha. Ngisho nasebusuku, ukuhanjiswa kuqhutshwa, lapho izimpophoma zitholakala ngezibani ezinemibala, izici zokusesha.

Ukuheha okuthandwa kakhulu e-Niagara Falls kuyinto ukuhamba ngaphansi kwamanzi awela ezikebheni ezikhethekile.

I-Falls ye-Niagara ingenye yezindawo ezindala kunazo zonke zokugcina izimvelo e-United States.
Akukhona nje abathandi bobuhle abaqhamuka lapha ekuphumeni, kodwa futhi nabantu abalambile izinto ezimbi kakhulu. Ngakho-ke, ngo-1901 uthisha ojwayelekile wamabanga aphansi uNksz Taylor ngosuku lwakhe lokuzalwa lokuzalwa kwezinsuku ezingu-63 wanquma ukwenza i-jumpback emanzini emgodini. Kamuva, isenzo sakhe sabhalwa kuGuinness Book of Records.

Manje imithetho yaseCanada ne-US ivunyelwe ukwehla emanzini nganoma iyiphi indlela, kodwa lokhu akuvimbeli ama-daredevils.
