- Ukuphakama ngaphezu kwezinga lolwandle: 4 784 m;
- Ukuqhuma kokugcina: 2008;
- Uhla lwezintaba: i- Andes.
Intaba-mlilo ye-Pichincha i- Ecuador futhi iyasebenza, iheha amashumi ezinkulungwane zezivakashi minyaka yonke. Futhi lokhu kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kusebenza futhi kugcina abantu baseQuito behlupha amakhulu eminyaka. I-volcano inezintaba eziphakeme kakhulu - ama-4,784 namamitha angu-4,698, futhi i-Pichincha ngokwayo iyesibili ephakeme e-Ecuador.
Uhlamvu olubi lwe-Pichincha
I-volcano ye-Pichincha ingenye yezinto ezisebenzayo kakhulu emhlabeni, futhi kusukela isikhungo senhloko-dolobha ngamakhilomitha ayisishiyagalombili ukusuka kuyo, kubangela ingozi ethile kuQuito nabakhileyo kuyo. I-volcano inezintaba ezimbili, ukuphakama kwamamitha angu-4698, nokubili kwesibili - 4784 m. Owaqala kubizwa ngokuthi "Ingane" (Guagua), kanti owesibili - "Umuntu Omdala" (Rucu). Futhi, i-volcano ine-caldera esebenzayo, isikhumbuza ukuthi i-Pichincha ayilali.
Engxenyeni yokuqala yekhulu leminyaka elidlule, wayebhekwa njengokuphela, kanti ama-Ecuadoriya amxosha, ngokuphindaphindiwe ekhumbula "ukuxhaphazwa" kwakhe okwenze umonakalo omkhulu. Kodwa ngonyaka ka-1981 kwakukhona ukuqhuma, okwathi lapho i-lava eshisayo yawela phezu komhlaba 25-30 km. Ungase ucabange ukuthi lokhu kuyinto engavamile, kodwa ososayensi balinganisela ukuqhuma kwentombazanyana emihlanu, futhi ukuqhuma kwekhulu le-10 - ku-8. Lokhu kusho ukuthi ukushaqeka okubangelwa yi-volcano kwabakhileyo kuQuito akuyona into enkulu kakhulu. Kodwa ngenhlanhla ngo-1981 idolobha lalingabonakali umonakalo omkhulu, ngokungafani no-1660. Ngomhlaka-28 Okthoba, ukuqhuma kwaqeda amahora angu-12, ngenxa yokuthi yikuphi u- Quito ayembozwe ngomlotha nomlotha. Kusukela emlilweni ovuthayo u-Quito wavikela ukukhululwa kweNtaba iRucu, ngakho ngisho namaphethelo awazange ahlupheke. Umlotha ovela ekuqhumeni wenyuka emoyeni ngisho nangama-430 km eningizimu edolobheni laseLouja , naseColombia, yi-300 km eningizimu-ntshonalanga.
Ngo-1981, ngo-1990 no-1993, ukuqhuma okubuhlungu kwenzeka okwenzeka ngaphambi kokuqhuma. Kwabe ngo-2000 bekukhona ukuqhuma okubuthakathaka, futhi ngemva kweminyaka engu-8 izwe lonke lilandela ukuqhuma okuyisikhombisa kwe-Pichincha. Kuyamangalisa ukuthi eduze kwenhloko-dolobha yase- Ecuador kukhona intaba-mlilo engavamile futhi, ngenhlanhla, ukuqhuma kwayo akufaki ukufa kwabantu. Kodwa nokho kukhona ukulimala okuvela kuwo, ngoba i-pyroclastic igeleza ezolimo eziqothulwa eduze kwaseQuito, okuyinto eyathinteka kabi umnotho. Ukuqhuma kwe-volcano ye-Pichincha kwaholela ekutheni akunakwenzeka ukuqhuba ezolimo ezindaweni zayo, lapho umnotho wezwe uhlupheka khona.
Ukuphakama kuya ku-Pichincha
Kuyamangalisa ukuthi i-volcano esebenzayo neyingozi iyona ethandwa kakhulu kubakhenkethi, ukukhuphuka akuyona kunzima nakwezinye izintaba-mlilo ezihlala eduze naseQuito. Amakhulu abantu abahamba ngesibindi abavela ezweni lonke benza umthamo futhi bafuna ukusondelana nakakhulu kunama-craters of Pichincha. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukukhuphukela phezulu kakhulu ungabona u- Quito ovela phezulu, ngoba idolobha lisezinyaweni ze-volcano.
Uphi i-Pichincha?
Intaba-mlilo ye-Pichincha ibonakala kusuka noma ikuphi ku-Quito futhi kulula ukuyifinyelela. Ungasuka ngokushesha eNyakatho yezindiza yaseMarshal Sucre , eseduze nakwezinto eziseduze nakakhulu kunedolobha. Umgwaqo oya e-volcano uhamba wedwa, ngoba lokhu kuyadingeka ukuya eSan-Francisco Rumiurcu, bese ungena ku-N85 bese ulandela izimpawu.
