- Indawo: kuMzantsi Main Rd, ngasentshona-ntshona yesiqithi saseTrinidad, kufuphi nedolophana yaseLa Brea;
- Ikhuthazwe ixesha lokutyelela: 09.00-17.00;
- Ukukhusela okukhuselekileyo: akuvumelekanga ukutshaya kufuphi nelabi
Kwisiqithi saseTrinidad yiLake Peach Lake, owona mthombo omkhulu webhitumeni yendalo.
Igama elinomdla
Kwinguqulelo yasekuqaleni esuka kwisiNgesi, igama leLake Peach Lake - iPitch Lake lithetha i-bitumen echibi. Kwezinye iimeko kuthiwa yi-asphalt echibi lasePeach Lake.
Iphi iLake Peach Lake?
I-bitumen echibini itholakala kwisiqithi saseTrinidad kwicala laso elingasentshonalanga. Kuthe kufuphi nedangatye eliqhelekileyo yilali yaseLa Brea.
I-Lake Peach Ichibi ebalazweni ibonakala ingancinci, kuba indawo yalo ihektare ezingama-40 kuphela, kodwa izifundo zibonise ukuba ubunzulu obuphakathi kwechibi malunga neekhilomitha ezili-80, nto leyo eninzi kunomzimba wamanzi.
Umlando wamaNdiya ngeLake Peach Lake
Abantu basekuhlaleni bathetha le ngcamango, ngokwemizekelo emininzi yeminyaka edlulileyo, amaNdiya esizwe sakwaChima ahlala kwindawo yelibi. Ngolunye usuku, emva kokunqoba okukhulu kwisizwe sintshaba, kwakukho umthendeleko, apho amaNdiya avuyayo apheka kwaye adla inani elikhulu leentaka ezingcwele zeTrididad ezinemibala ye-hummingbirds.
Ngokutsho kweenkolelo zamaNdiya, i-hummingbirds ithathwa ngokuba yimimoya yokhokho ngenxa yobuncinane bayo nobukhulu babo. Kwaye ngokuhlwaya, oothixo abangenakunqabileyo kwiziqalekiso baqhekeza umhlaba waza wabangela umlambo we-tar owawugubungela yonke idolophana kunye nabemi balo.
Ewe, namhlanje le ngqungquthela ibangela ukumomotheka, kuba i-hummingbird kwisiqithi ikhupha amaninzi.
Imbali yeLake Peach Lake
Umfumbi we-asphalt echibini elivela kwiLizwe Elidala lalingumlwandle waseWalter Raleigh. Wabona indlela amaNdiya afake ngayo iinqanawa zawo, kwaye aqala ukusebenzisa ibhitumen yeLake Peach Lake ngokusebenza kwe-resin yeentambo zabo.
Iingcali ze-geologists zikholelwa ukuba ukubunjwa kwechibi kwakungenxa yokuphosa kwehlabathi kunye nokucwiliswa kwincinane kwekhefu elinye phantsi kweCaribbean iplani kwii-Antilles, ngakumbi kwiBarbados. Nangona uphando olupheleleyo lwechibi aluzange luqhutywe, kukholelwa ukuba ephantsi, izaliswe ngokuthe ngcembe ngeoli kunye nomda wephutha. Emva koko, izixhobo ezikhanyayo ziphuphuma ngexesha, kwaye iinqhezu ezinzima kunye neentlanzi zihlala.
Phakathi kwe-XIX kwafumanisa ukuba i-bitumen echibini yePeach Lake ingasetyenziselwa ukwakhiwa kwemisebenzi kunye nezendlela. Isitalato sokuqala, ehlanganiswe ne-asphalt yemvelo, yayiyiPennsylvania Avenue eWashington. Kwaye kamva bahlanganiswa ngendlela ekhokelela kwiBattleham Palace eLondon. Kwaye ngoko ukususela kwimiba isetyenziswe ekwakhiweni kweebhuloji kunye neendlela eziqhelekileyo, kuyamangalisa ukuba i-viscous and homogeneous, ayinyibiliki kwi-40 degree degree and does not crack at 25 degrees. I-asphalt yemvelo imelana nemithwalo enzima, iindidi ezininzi zehlabathi zenziwa kuyo.
Iyintoni iLake Peach Lake edumile?
I-bitumen echibini eTrintidad ithathwa njengowona mhlaba omkhulu wendalo we-asphalt. Kwakhona "amaqabunga" afanayo afumaneka eCalifornia, Venezuela, eTurkmenistan nakwezinye iindawo.
Ummandla welibi unamafutha kunye neentlanzi, ekujuleni kwawo kukho ukuhamba rhoqo kunye neenkqubo zeekhemikhali. Ipropati enomdla kakhulu yamanzi e-bitumen yikhono lokufumana kunye nokubuyisela izinto, nangemva kweminyaka eminyaka.
KuLwandle lwaseLake Peach, kuye kwafunyanwa ezinye izinto ezithandekayo: inxalenye yamathambo e-giant sloth efile kule ndawo ngaphezu kweminyaka engama-6 000 edlulileyo, inyo le-mastoni, ezinye izinto ezizweni zaseNdiya. Eyona nto imnandi kakhulu ukuyifumana ngumthi omdala kunabo bonke, owe-1928. Ngaphambi kokuba iphinde iphongwe kwi-bitumen, sikwazi ukuyenza phantsi, kwaye kwacaciswa ukuba umthi uneminyaka engama-4 ubudala.
Peach Lake namhlanje
Kwaba namhlanje, bambalwa abantu bayazi ukuba kukho i-lake eTrinidad elineoli. Namhlanje, ukumbiwa kwemayini ye-asphalt eyenziwa kwiLake Peach Lake, ngamashumi angamawaka eetoni eziphathekayo zikhishwe kuwo ngonyaka. Ubungakanani beli libi liqikelelwa kwiitoni ezigidi eziyi-6, kwaye ekubeni zibuyiselwa kwakhona, i-bitumen iya kuhlala enye iminyaka engama-400. Phantse yonke i-asphalt ekhishiwe ithunyelwa ngaphandle.
Ngaphandle kokubaluleka kwemveliso, i-echibi ngumhlaba wasemaphandleni, malunga namawaka angama-20 abantu abaza apha ngonyaka.
Ioli yobuhle
Okuthakazelisayo, kodwa kwintlanzi yelibi emva kwemvula ixesha elide amanzi ibonakala, idlala iifilimu zeoli kunye nomlambo oqaqambileyo. Kukho iziqithi eziliqela kunye nezityalo kuwo. Kwinqanaba lommandla wonxweme kunokugqithisa kunye neloli, kodwa xa liyeka, ngoko nangoko liqala ukucima. Ukuthungwa ngalunye emva kokutsalwa kwinqanaba elilinganayo phakathi kweveki, ngokuthe ngcembe kuyancipha kwaye kwanyamalala ngaphandle kokulandelwa. Ngoko ke, musa ukunyanzelisa iinkqubo zenyama kwaye uhambe kude nxweme, ngokukodwa kwiindawo ezitsha.
Ukubhukuda emzimbeni wamanzi emvula aqokelelekanga. Ngokubanzi, iinqanawa zePeach-Lake, nazo, aziyi kulungiswa.
Indlela yokufikelela echibini?
Abaqhubi beehenyuli zendawo abavumelekileyo beendawo baqhuba uhambo oluhlelekile kwiieps ukuya echibini nasemva. Iiyure eziphakanyisiweyo zokutyelela iPeach Lake ukusuka ngo-9 ukuya ku-17 ntambama, kufuphi nelibi akuvumelekanga ukutshaya ngenxa yokutya okuphezulu kwesulfure emoyeni nasemethane. Udinga ukunyamekela izicathulo ezikhululekile kwaye uqhubeke kunye nesikhokelo, uya kukukhokela kwindlela yokuhamba ngeendawo ezinqabileyo.
Ekufuphi kwelapho kukho isikhungo solwazi, apha ungathenga iincwadana malunga nelaba le-bitumen kunye neemkhumbuzo zenkumbulo okanye uthathe isikhokelo ukuba ufuna ukuhamba ngokwakho.
