Umkhumbi wocwaningo ongenaABANYENgokungazelelwe ulwandle lwaqala ukuzamazama ngamandla, ijubane lalo lehla lisuka kumafindo angu-15 liya kumafindo amahlanu, naphezu kolwandle oluzolile. Iqembu lihlangabezane “nomdlali ongabonakali” ongaqondakali wolwandle: amagagasi angaphakathi.
Ayini amagagasi angaphakathi? Okokuqala, ake siqonde “isemishi lamanzi olwandle.”
Amagagasi esivame ukuwabona “amagagasi angaphezulu” agxumagxuma phezulu; amagagasi angaphakathi, ngakolunye uhlangothi, acashe phakathi kwezingqimba zangaphakathi zolwandle—ukuminyana okwakhiwa izingqimba zamanzi. Cabanga ngamanzi olwandle njengoba ehlukaniswa abe “isangweji”: ungqimba olungaphezulu lulula (ukushisa okuphakeme, usawoti ophansi), kuyilapho ungqimba olungaphansi lusinda (ukushisa okuphansi, usawoti ophakeme). Ukuhlangana phakathi kwezingqimba ezimbili ukuminyana. Lapho imisinga yolwandle ishayisana nezintaba noma iziqhingi ezingaphansi kwamanzi, noma lapho imimoya inyakazisa amanzi angaphezulu, ukuminyana kusebenza njengentambo ehlutshiwe, ekhiqiza amagagasi angaphakathi akhuphukayo futhi awe.
Anamandla kangakanani amagagasi angaphakathi? Ukhathazeke ngempela ngale mithelela.
Ungacabangi ukuthi amagagasi angaphakathi awalona usongo ngenxa nje yokuthi ecashe ekujuleni. Amandla abo "angalawula" kalula imisebenzi yasolwandle:
✅ “I-Invisible Trap” Yemikhumbi-ngwenya: Phakathi neMpi Yezwe II, imikhumbi-ngwenya eyangena ezindaweni zamagagasi angaphakathi yajikijelwa phezulu yiziphepho eziyaluzayo, okuveza izinhloso zazo. Namuhla, imikhumbi-ngwenya ihlola “izibikezelo zamagagasi angaphakathi” ngaphambi kokuba zihambe ngomkhumbi ukuze zigweme izindawo eziyingozi.
✅ “Ukulethwa Kwezakhamzimba” Ezindaweni Zokudoba: Uma amagagasi angaphakathi ekhuphuka, adonsa umsoco (njengama-phosphates nama-nitrate) ukusuka olwandle ukuya phezulu, ipulangwe elinomsoco. Izindawo zokudoba eziningi ezweni lami oLwandle LwaseShayina oluseNingizimu zithembele kumagagasi angaphakathi ukuze “ziphakele” izinhlanzi!
✅ “Ukuhlola Okungabonakali” Kobunjiniyela Basolwandle: Izintambo ezihamba ngaphansi kwamanzi nezinkundla zokumba uwoyela zingalinyazwa imisinga uma zihlangana namagagasi anamandla angaphakathi. Ngemva kokuchitheka kukawoyela eGulf of Mexico ngo-2010, ososayensi baqapha ngokukhethekile umthelela wamagagasi angaphakathi ekusakazekeni kokuchitheka kukawoyela.
Angabonwa kanjani “amagagasi angaphakathi”?
Esikhathini esidlule, amalungu eqembu ayethembele "emzweni" ngamagagasi angaphakathi, kodwa manje ubuchwepheshe obuphezulu sebuyatholakala:
● Inzwa yesathelayithi ekude: Ngokuqaphela izinguquko ezicashile ezingeni lokushisa nokuphakama kolwandle, singakwazi “ukulinganisa” amagagasi angaphakathi ngaphansi kwamanzi (njengokufana nokuthola into ethile ngomthunzi wayo);
● Ama-buoy angaphansi kwamanzi: Gxilisa imishini yokuqapha eduze ne-thermocline ukuze urekhode i-amplitude nesivinini samagagasi angaphakathi ngesikhathi sangempela;
● Amarobhothi angaphansi kwamanzi: Athwebule izithombe ezinencazelo ephezulu yamagagasi angaphakathi ashayela ukunyakaza kwamanzi olwandleABANYEUlwandle.
I-Frankstar igxile ekuqaphelweni kwamagagasi olwandle, ukudalainzwa yobungcwetifuthiizixazululo ze-buoy.
Ngokuthuthukiswa kokuqapha kwemvelo yasolwandle, ubunjiniyela basolwandle, namandla olwandle avuselelekayo, imishini yokutholwa kwedatha yamagagasi enembile nethembekile iba ingqalasizinda ebalulekile. Njengomthuthukisi ochwepheshe wezinzwa zamagagasi nama-buoy, uFrankstar uzibophezele ekuthuthukiseni imikhiqizo esebenza kahle kakhulu, kulula ukuyisebenzisa engakwazi ukuzivumelanisa nezimo zolwandle eziyinkimbinkimbi, futhi ikhuthaze ngenkuthalo ukusetshenziswa kwayo ocwaningweni lwesayensi, ubunjiniyela, amandla, neminye imikhakha.
Vakashela wethuiwebhusayithiukuze uthole ulwazi olwengeziwe lomkhiqizo, izifundo, kanye namaphepha amhlophe obuchwepheshe.
