ʻOiai ʻoi aku ka nui o nā pilikua nui, ʻike ʻia ka lua pele ʻo Cotopaxi ʻo ia ke kiʻekiʻe ma waena o nā poʻe e hana ana a puni ka honua. ʻAʻole wale ʻo ia e leʻaleʻa me kāna ʻano kuhihewa ʻole, akā me ka nani ʻokoʻa o ka piko iridescent mai ka hau. Hoʻomaopopo ʻia kēia ma muli o kahi o ka stratovolcano kahi, ʻoiai ʻo ka hau i ka tropic o Ecuador kahi hanana nui loa.
ʻIkepili Geographic e pili ana i ka lua pele Cotopaxi
Ma ke ʻano, aia ʻo Cotopaxi i nā stratovolcanoes, e like me kona ʻaoʻao ma Asia Hikina Hema, ʻo Krakatau. ʻO kēia ʻano ʻano papa pōhaku he ʻano papa i kūkulu ʻia mai ka lehu, ka pele paʻa a me ka tephra. ʻO ka hapanui pinepine, i ke kinona, ʻano like lākou i ka cone maʻamau; ma muli o kā lākou ʻano porous, hoʻololi pinepine lākou i ko lākou kiʻekiʻe a me ko lākou wahi i ka wā o nā pele nui.
ʻO Cotopaxi ka piko kiʻekiʻe loa o ka mauna mauna Cordillera Real: ua piʻi aʻe ia ma luna o ka ʻilikai ma 5897 m. No ʻEkuador, kahi ʻāina kahi i loaʻa ai ka lua pele ʻohana, ʻo kēia ka piko nui ʻelua, akā ʻo ia ka mea i ʻike ʻia ma ke kahakai nui loa a me ka waiwai o ka mokuʻāina. ʻO ka wahi o ka lua pele ma kahi o 0.45 sq. km, a hiki kona hohonu i 450 m. Inā pono ʻoe e hoʻoholo i nā koina honua, pono ʻoe e kau i ka lae kiʻekiʻe loa. ʻO kona latitu a me kona loa ma nā degere ʻo 0 ° 41 '3 ″ S. latitu, 78 ° 26 '14 ″ W etc.
Ua lilo ka pilikua i kikowaena o ka pāka aupuni o ka inoa like; ma aneʻi hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā flora a me nā holoholona. Akā manaʻo ʻia kona hiʻohiʻona nui he mau piko hau i uhi ʻia i ka hau, ka mea maʻamau ʻole no nā tropika. Uhi ʻia ʻo Cotopaxi Peak i kahi ʻāpana mānoanoa o ka hau e ʻōniʻoniʻo mai ka lā a shimmers e like me ka momi. Haʻaheo ko Ecuadorians i ko lākou palena ʻāina, ʻoiai ka nui o nā hanana weliweli i pili pū me ia.
Nā Pahu o kahi stratovolcano
No ka poʻe i ʻike ʻole i ka hana a lua ʻole paha o ka lua pele ʻo Cotopaxi, pono e ʻōlelo ʻia he ʻeleu ia, akā i kēia manawa aia i ka hibernation. He paʻakikī loa e wānana i ka manawa kikoʻī o kona ala ʻana, mai ka wā o kona ola ʻana ua hōʻike ia i kona ʻano "pahū" me nā kekelē o ka mana.
No laila, ua ala ke ala ʻana ma 2015. Ma ʻAukake 15, lele ʻia i ka lewa kahi kolamu uahi ʻelima mau kilomita, hui pū ʻia me ka lehu. ʻElima mau ʻano ʻino e like me ia, a ma hope iho ua mālie hou ka lua pele. Akā ʻaʻole kēia he manaʻo iki ʻaʻole kona ala ʻana ka hoʻomaka o ka pele pele pele i nā mahina a i ʻole mau makahiki ma hope.
I nā makahiki 300 i hala iho nei, hū ka lua pele ma kahi o 50 mau manawa. Ma mua o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana, ʻaʻole hōʻike ʻo Cotopaxi i nā hōʻailona koʻikoʻi o ka hana no 140 mau makahiki. ʻO ka pele i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i manaʻo ʻia he pahū i kū i 1534. ʻO ka hanana kūpilikiʻi loa ka mea i kū i ʻApelila 1768. A laila, ma waho o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ka luaipele a me ka pele, ua hiki mai kahi ʻōlaʻi ikaika ma kahi o ka pahū o ka pilikua, nāna i luku ke kūlanakauhale holoʻokoʻa a me nā kauhale kokoke.
Nā mea hoihoi e pili ana iā Cotopaxi
ʻOiai ʻo ka hapa nui o ka manawa ʻaʻole hōʻike nā lua pele i nā ʻōuli o ka hana, he wahi huakaʻi nui ia. Ke hele nei ma nā ala pākana, hiki iā ʻoe ke lele i loko o nā llamas a me nā dia, e ʻike i nā hummingbirds lele a mahalo paha i nā lapwings Andes.
Nui ka hoihoi o ka lua pele Cotopaxi i nā poʻe piʻi piʻi wiwo ʻole e moemoe e lanakila i ka piko o kēia kuahiwi. ʻO ka piʻi mua i mālama ʻia ma Nowemapa 28, 1872, ua hana ʻo Wilhelm Rice i kēia hana kupaianaha.
Paipai mākou iā ʻoe e heluhelu e pili ana i ka lua pele ʻo Krakatoa.
I kēia lā, kēlā me kēia kanaka a, ʻo ka mea nui loa, hiki i nā mea piʻi i hoʻomaʻamaʻa ke hana i ka mea like. Hoʻomaka ka piʻi ʻana i ka piko i ka pō, i hiki ai i ke alaula ke hoʻi i kahi i hoʻomaka. ʻO kēia ke kumu o ka uhi ʻana o ka piko me kahi ʻāpana manoanoa o ka hau, a hoʻomaka ia e hoʻoheheʻe i ke ao, a he mea hiki ʻole ke piʻi aʻe.
Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka hele wāwae maʻamau i ka wāwae o Cotopaxi e lawe mai i nā manaʻo he nui, no ka mea ma kēia ʻāpana o ʻEkuakua hiki iā ʻoe ke leʻaleʻa i nā hiʻohiʻona nani. ʻAʻole he mea kupanaha, e like me kekahi o nā mana, ʻaʻole i unuhi ʻia ka inoa ma ke ʻano he "mauna uwahi", akā ma ke ʻano "mauna aniani".
