Ngaba umlambo omde kakhulu ufunyenwe?

Ngethuba lokuphila koMhlaba, abaphandi abanciphisi umsebenzi. Emva kwakho konke, ubomi emhlabeni usetshintsha phantsi kwefuthe leemeko ezahlukeneyo-uluntu luhlaziywa, kwaye imisebenzi yabantu igalelo. Ngako oko, akulula ukuphendula ngokungaphenduliyo umbuzo othi: "Nguwuphi umlambo omde kakhulu kwihlabathi?"

Kwangexesha elide isundu sasingumlambo iNayile. Kodwa ngoku, uphando olubuhlungu luye lwavelisa iziphumo ezingaphezulu kwaye ezingalindelekanga. Kubonakala ukuba ngoku i-Neal iphambi kwama-Amazon. Oososayensi baseBrazil baye bafumana umthombo omtsha womlambo u-Ucayali, le meko kwaye bavumela ukwandisa ubude bomlambo we-Amazon oqhubekayo ukuya kuma-7000 km. Ngoko ke, ama-Amazon ayaziwa njengomlambo omde kakhulu.

Uninzi lwamanzi eMzantsi Melika uhamba kwimimandla yaseBrazil, kunye nayo yonke imikhonkco yayo isolula kumazwe aseBolivia, e-Ecuador, ePeru naseColombia. Ngexesha lezimvula, umlambo ukhukula amanzi awo kunye nensimu elinganayo ngobukhulu baseNgilandi. Abemi baseAzone amanzi ahlukeneyo kangangokuba abemi baseLwandle lweAtlantiki abahambisani nabo nasiphi na isilinganisi.

Kunzima ukukhetha ngokukhethekileyo enye yemifula yaseRashiya, ekuthiwa ngokufanelekileyo iya kuthiwa "Umlambo omde kakhulu eRashiya". Enyanisweni, akunakwenzeka rhoqo ukulinganisa ngokuchanekileyo ubude bomzila womlambo, kuba imithombo kunye nemithombo yamanzi emimandla yeendawo ezakhelene nayo idlale indima yabo.

Ngokwezibalo, iLena River kufuneka ibe ngumnini werekhodi kwaye ifumane isihloko esihloniphekileyo, njengomlambo omude eRussia. Emva kwayo yonke, ubude balo buvela kumthombo ngokwawo, esekwe kwinqanaba leLachitha yaseBaikal, emlonyeni, oya eLwandle lwaseLaptev, ngu-4400 km.

Ebusika, umlambo Lena ungashenxisa ukuya ngasezantsi, kwaye xa ihlobo elishisayo liza kumile. Kwezinye iindawo, ubunzulu balo bunokufikelela kumqondiso we-0.5 m. Nangona isabelo sokuqala sokusondeza ubomi esivela kwiindawo zokuhlala, umlambo ufika ebomini kwaye uyaba ngumkhombe - iinqanawa ezithe wenyuka emanzini ukuya elwandle ziqala ukubonakala ngaphantsi kwe-Osetrova.

Abantu baseMelika baqhayisa ngomlambo omkhulu wamanzi we-Mississippi, olwahlula i-US ibe ngamacandelo amabini, awela umnqweno wezizwe ezilishumi aze athathe amanzi ayo e-Atlantic. Ngokweenkcukacha ezithathwe kwi-encyclopedia yaseMelika, ubukhulu beNkqubo yeMlambo yaseMississippi ngu-6275 km. Ivela kwiJefferson River eMontana, iqhubela emanzini aseMissouri kwaye iphelela indlela kwiGulf of Mexico. Oku kusivumela ukuba sibone isihloko esifanelekileyo: "Umlambo omde kakhulu eUnited States." Ihlala kwindawo efanelekileyo yesine phakathi kwezinye iinkqubo zomlambo zeplanethi.

Kwi-Mississippi ephezulu kuneemvula zamanzi kunye nama-rapids amakhulu. Phakathi kweemvula zamanzi, uSt. Anthony uyaphuma, ukuphakama kokungabikho kwamanzi okungafunekiyo kungama-15 m. Kukho amadama phakathi kweedolophu zaseSt. Louis naseMinneapolis, umsebenzi wabo unceda ukubonelela abahlali bendawo ngombane.

Ngethuba lokukhukula kwentwasahlobo, izikhukhula zikhukhula intsimi enkulu iqala. Umsele weMlambo waseMississippi uhlala kwisiqingatha selizwe laseMerika. Umlambo omde kakhulu unika umsebenzi oqhubekayo wabanini bamatshini.
