Ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu eSolomon Islands kubangele isixwayiso se-tsunami

Iziqhingi eziningana zasePacific, ezihlanganisa iPapua New Guinea kanye neVanuatu, zabhekana nokwesaba isikhashana, ngemva kokuzamazama komhlaba okungu-7.0-magnitude kuhlasele iSolomon Islands, okubangele ukwesaba kwamagagasi ayingozi e-tsunami esifundeni.

Ngokusho the I-United States Geological Survey (USGS), ukuzamazama komhlaba kwenzeke ngezithuba zabo-2:56 GMT ngoLwesibili, cishe amakhilomitha angu-35 (amamayela angu-XNUMX) eningizimu-ntshonalanga yenhloko-dolobha yaseSolomon Islands, i-Honiara.

Ukuzamazama kokuqala kwalandelwa wukuzamazama okungama-6.0 ngemva kwemizuzu engaba ngu-30, kanye nokuzamazama okuncane okumbalwa endaweni.

I-US Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre ikhiphe izeluleko “zamagagasi ayingozi e-tsunami” kulandela ukuzamazama komhlaba, yathi amanzi angafinyelela kumitha elilodwa ngaphezu komthamo wamagagasi eSolomons, futhi afinyelele kumasentimitha angama-30 ogwini lwasePapua New Guinea naseVanuatu.

Nokho, kamuva i-Solomon Islands Meteorological Service yamemezela ukuthi ayikho ingozi ye-tsunami, nakuba le nhlangano yayisaxwayisa ngemisinga yasolwandle enamandla ngokungavamile kwezinye izindawo ezisogwini. Izakhamizi “zilulekwe ukuthi ziqaphe njengoba kulindeleke ukuthi kuqhubeke ukuzamazama komhlaba,” ezinkundleni zokuxhumana.

UNdunankulu waseSolomon Islands Ihhovisi likaManasseh Sogavare lithe awukho umonakalo omkhulu enhlokodolobha futhi alizange likhulume ngezisulu zabantu kodwa lanezela ngokuthi ukuzamazama kudale ukunqamuka kukagesi.

Khonamanjalo, inhlangano esemthethweni yezokusakaza eziqhingini, ibike ukuthi yonke imisakazo iphansi.

Iziqhingi zaseSolomon zihlezi endaweni ethandwa ukuzamazama komhlaba engqimbeni yase-Australia eyaziwa ngokuthi “Indandatho Yomlilo.” Ingenye yezindawo ezisebenza ngokuzamazama komhlaba kakhulu emhlabeni ngenxa yokuhlangana njalo phakathi kwamapuleti ase-Australia nasePacific, acindezelana futhi adale izingcindezi ezinkulu ezikwazi ukukhiqiza ukuzamazama.

Ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu ngoLwesibili ekuseni kwenzeke esikhathini esingaphansi kosuku olulodwa kugadle ukuzamazama okukhulu kwe-5.6 magnitude e-Indonesia - nayo ehlezi eduze 'kweRing of Fire' - kwashona abantu abangaphezu kwe-100, ngokusho kweNational Disaster Management Agency.
