Ijografi yeRiphabhlikhi yaseDominican

Dominican Republic bahlala kwi iziqithi zeAntilles, kwimpuma yesiqithi "La Hispaniola". Ilizwe liye laba yiparadesi egqibeleleyo yokwenene ukuba ube nakho ukuya eholideyini njengesibini, njengentsapho okanye uwedwa, kwindawo yolonwabo ongasoze uyilibale.

Isiqithi saseHispaniola sihlala ilizwe laseHaiti kunye neRiphabhlikhi yaseDominican, ngaphezulu, kwisibini esithathwini yeyommandla weDominican. Indawo yayo ibandakanya uLwandlekazi lweAtlantic ukuya emantla, uLwandle lweCaribbean emazantsi (eyinxalenye yeTropic yomhlaza), iM Mona Passage eseMpuma kunye neRiphabhlikhi yaseHaiti eseNtshona.

Ulwandiso lwendawo yayo kubandakanya iziqithi eziphantsi kolawulo lwayo (iBeata, Catalina, Saona kunye neAlto Velo) ziikhilomitha ezingama-48.442, Ivumela ukuba ibe lilizwe lesibini ngobukhulu ukongezwa kwee-Greater Antilles, ngasemva kweCuba. Ukwandiswa kwayo ukusuka emantla kuye emazantsi ziikhilomitha ezingama-286 kwaye ukusuka empuma ukuya entshona kunokongezwa kweekhilomitha ezingama-390.

Uncedo lwejografi yayo lunzima kakhulu, ineentaba ezintlanu kunye neentaba ezintathu ezinkulu, eyona iphambili kuLuhlu lweNtaba enguMbindi, apho eyona ncopho iphakamileyo kwiiAntilles ikhona, eyaziwayo IPico Duarte enokuphakama kweemitha ezingama-3,187. Umphezulu weDominican ukwanazo iintlambo ezine ezibanzi, enye yazo yi Intlambo yeCibao.

I-hydrography yeRiphabhlikhi yaseDominican yenziwe yimilambo, amachibi kunye namachibi ethi, kwezinye iimeko, ibe ngamaziko anomdla kubakhenkethi anje nge Umlambo iOzama kunye neLwandle i-Enriquillo. Inendawo engapheliyo yeelwandle ezintle xa zizonke ziikhilomitha ezili-1,500 ubude. Iilwandle eziphambili ziphakathi emantla, emazantsi, empuma nasempuma mpuma.

Ngokuphathelele kwimozulu, IRiphabhlikhi yaseDominican inemozulu yetropiki ngenxa yokuma kwayo ngenxa yeempembelelo zemimoya yorhwebo kunye nomzobo. Iqondo lobushushu lonyaka eliyi-25º C (77º F), nangona kunjalo, kwiindawo zeentaba, iqondo lobushushu liyajikeleza phakathi kwe-5º C kwiinyanga zasebusika.
