Kakaʻikahi ka poʻe i ʻike ʻo Mauna Kea, aia ma Hawaii, ua manaʻo ʻia ʻoi aku ke kiʻekiʻe ma mua o Everest. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ma luna o ka ʻilikai hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike wale i ka piko o kēia pilikua, ʻoiai e puka ana ia mai ka wai ma 4205 mika. Hūnā ʻia ke koena mai ka maka aku, no laila ʻaʻole iki kēia mauna i waena o nā mea kiʻekiʻe. ʻO ke kiʻekiʻe loa o ka piko 10203 mika, i ʻoi aku i ka hōʻailona o Everest e ʻoi aku ma kahi o kahi kilomita.
ʻO Mauna Kea - he luaipele weliweli a he mauna mālie paha?
Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka lua pele me he pale lā ma muli o kona ʻano pale. I nā kiʻi, ʻaʻole hōʻike akāka ʻia ka lua pele a ʻoi aku ka nui o ka caldera. Hōʻike ʻia kēia ʻano ma muli o ka pele pinepine o ka pele pele wai wela kiʻekiʻe. A laila uhi ka kahe o ka magma i ka wahi a puni a hana i kahi sloping slope.
Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Mauna Kea i miliona mau makahiki i hala aku nei, a ua pau ka piko o kāna hana i ka makahiki 250,000 i hala. I kēia manawa, ua hoʻonohonoho nā kānaka noiʻi iā ia ma ke ʻano he make a hoʻonoho i nā palena iki no ka likelike o ke ala ʻana. Hele nā lua pele Shield ma waena o nā pae:
- plank - kū mai ka manawa i hoʻokumu ʻia ka wahi wela;
- pale - ʻo ia ka wā hana nui loa;
- kia-pale - ua hoʻokumu hope ʻia ke ʻano, akā ua wānana mua ka ʻano;
- hana ole.
I kēia lā, ʻo ia ka mauna kiʻekiʻe loa ma ka honua, ka hapa nui o lalo o ka wai. He ʻāpana ia o ka Archipelago Hawaii a ʻo ia kekahi o nā palena ʻāina ʻoi loa o Hawaiʻi. ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona nui o Mauna Kea ka pāpale o ka hau, kahi ʻike pinepine ʻole ʻia i nā aniau tropical. ʻO ia ke kumu i puka ai ka inoa, ke ʻano o "White Mountain".
Hele mai nā mea mākaʻikaʻi ʻaʻole e hoʻopulu i ke kahakai wale nō, akā i ka makemake e hele i ka ski a i ka snowboarding. He mea kupaianaha ka maka mai ka mauna, no laila hiki iā ʻoe ke kiʻi i nā kiʻi nani a i ʻole ke hele wāwae wale a puni nā wahi, no ka mea he nui nā mālama kūlohelohe ma aneʻi no ka loaʻa ʻana o nā endemics endangered.
Hale kiaʻi honua
No ka mea aia ʻo Hawaii ma kahi kokoke i ka equator, huli ka mokupuni i wahi kūpono no ka nānā ʻana i nā kilo hōkū. ʻAʻole ia he mea kupanaha ka lilo o ke kuahiwi kiʻekiʻe loa i ka honua i kikowaena maoli no ke aʻo ʻana i nā kino lani. Aia ʻo Mauna Kea i kahi mamao loa mai ke kūlanakauhale, no laila ʻaʻole hiki i nā kukui ke hōʻino i ka ʻike, a hopena i ka ʻenekini maikaʻi loa.
I kēia lā aia he 13 mau teleskopa mai nā ʻāina like ʻole ma ka mauna. Aia i waena o nā mea nui ka Keck Interferometer Telescope, NASA Infrared Telescope, a me ka Japanese Subaru Telescope. Inā makemake ʻoe e nānā i kēia kikowaena nui-nui no ka noiʻi hōkū, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohui i kahi webcam, e ʻae ai iā ʻoe e nānā ma ka pūnaewele i nā hana o nā hale kiaʻi.
ʻAʻole maopopo i nā poʻe āpau ua kaulana ʻo Mauna Kea no kekahi moʻolelo hou. I ka piko, ʻaʻole wale nā teleskope mai nā ʻāina he ʻumikūmākahi i hōʻiliʻili ʻia, akā aia nō lākou i kahi kiʻekiʻe loa, ʻoi aku 40% o ka papa lewa. Ma kēia kiʻekiʻe, hoʻokō ʻia kahi maloʻo, no laila ʻaʻohe ʻano ao, kahi kūpono no ka nānā ʻana i nā hōkū i ka makahiki.
Flora a me nā holoholona o ka mauna nunui
He wahi kupaianaha ʻo Mauna Kea kahi e waiho ai nā ʻano mālama kūlohelohe. Noho kēlā me kēia o lākou i kahi kikoʻī e pili ana i ke kiʻekiʻe o ka mauna. He wahi kolohe ka piko me ka hoʻomālamalama kiʻekiʻe a me ka pāhawewe ʻana o ka lā. ʻO ia ke kāʻei alpine i hōʻike ʻia e nā mahana haʻahaʻa a me nā makani ikaika.
ʻO ka flora i loko o kēia wahi kahi mauʻu mauʻu mauʻu haʻahaʻa e ulu ana, ʻo ka hapanui o nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo mau. I loko o ka Alpine Belt Reserve, ke hoʻāʻo nei lākou e nānā i nā mea hoʻoweliweli o ka spider wolf, kahi e koho ai i kahi kiʻekiʻe ma mua o 4000 mau mika e like me kona laulā. Aia kekahi mau butterflies "Forest Shawl", peʻe lākou mai ke anuanu ma waena o nā pōhaku.
Paipai mākou iā ʻoe e heluhelu e pili ana iā Mont Blanc.
Noho ʻia ka papa ʻelua e ka mālama e pale ai i ka Golden Sophora. Ulu ulu wale kēia mau lāʻau leguminous ma Hawaii, akā ua emi nui ko lākou heluna kanaka ma hope o ka hōʻea ʻana o ko ʻEulopa i ka mokupuni i ka 18 kenekulia. I kēia manawa, ʻo ka helu o nā kumulāʻau he 10% o ka nui o ka nāhelehele kumu. Kuhi ʻia ka ʻāpana o ka mālama ma 210 sq. km
ʻO Low Kea ʻo Mauna Kea kahi ʻāpana ʻekolu o nā ʻano mea kanu a manu hoʻi e ʻane pau ʻole. Ua pilikia nui nā kaiaolaola ma muli o nā holoholona i lawe ʻia mai nā pepeiaohao nui a me nā hipa, a no ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe nui ʻana i ka ʻāina no nā mahi kō. No ka mālama ʻana i nā lāhui ʻaneʻane make, ua hoʻoholo ʻia e hoʻopau loa i nā mea i lawe ʻia mai ka mokupuni.
