- Ukuzamazama komhlaba okunamandla kuhlasela i-Alaska Peninsula.
- Ukuzamazama komhlaba kuzamazamise ukuhlala kwePerryville.
- Akukho ukufa, ukulimala noma umonakalo obikiwe.
I-US Geological Survey (USGS) ibike ukuthi ukuzamazama komhlaba okunamandla amakhulu 6.9 kuhlasele i-Alaska Peninsula ngoMgqibelo ekuseni.
The USGS kukalwe ukuzamazama komhlaba kwaba ngu-6.9 esikalini sobukhulu, isilinganiso esibekwe njenge “esinamandla” nengxenyana yephuzu elingaphansi kwelithi “enkulu.”
Ukuzamazama komhlaba, obekungadala indawo eyakhiwe, kuzamazamise indawo yokuhlala yasePerryville, esifundeni esigcwele ukuzamazama komhlaba.
Ukuzamazama komhlaba kugadle ngasogwini lwe- Inhlonhlo yase-Alaska, umzila omncane wezwe neziqhingi osuka ezweni lase-Alaskan ungene olwandle iPacific ulibangise eRussia. Inhlonhlo inabantu abambalwa, futhi idolobha eliseduzane nendawo lapho kuzamazama khona khona iPerryville, indawo yokuhlala yabantu abangaba yikhulu, etholakala cishe ngamakhilomitha angama-100 (85km) ukuya enyakatho-ntshonalanga.
Inhlonhlo iyindawo ezishisayo yokuzamazama komhlaba, futhi ihlala ngaphezulu kwephuzu lomhlangano wamapuleti etektoni aseNyakatho Pacific naseNyakatho Melika. Iyikhaya lezintaba-mlilo eziningi ezisebenzayo, futhi kaningi ibona ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu. Ngasekupheleni kwenyanga edlule ukuzamazama komhlaba okungu-8.2 kuhlasele endaweni efanayo ehlaselwe ukuzamazama komhlaba kwangoMgqibelo, kwalandelwa ukundindizela okuthathu okulandelayo kuka-5.9, 6.1, no-6.9. Lokhu kuzamazama komhlaba bekukukhulu kunakho konke okuhlasele i-United States kusukela ngo-1965, futhi kube kukhulu emlandweni womhlaba kusukela ngo-2018.
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- The earthquake struck just off the coast of the Alaska Peninsula, a thin trail of land and islands that sweeps out from the Alaskan mainland and into the Pacific Ocean toward Russia.
- The peninsula is sparsely populated, and the nearest town to the quake's epicenter is Perryville, a settlement of around 100 people, located roughly 85 miles (136km) to the northwest.
- Inhlonhlo iyindawo ezishisayo yokuzamazama komhlaba, futhi ihlala ngaphezulu kwephuzu lomhlangano wamapuleti etektoni aseNyakatho Pacific naseNyakatho Melika.
