Yize ziziphatha njengezilwandle ezivaliwe, amanzi azo ahlanzekile futhi aqukethe okungaphansi kwengxenye yesihlanu yemithombo yomhlaba.

Lawa machibi amakhulu amahlanu ahlinzeka ngamabhishi amaningi, amawa, izindunduma, inqwaba yezindawo zokukhanya, iziqhingi ezigcwele amadolobha asogwini nezindawo zokubhuka. Akumangazi ukuthi ibizwa ngokuthi "ugu lwesithathu" ngoba lawa amachibi ayindawo yokuhlala yezinhlobo zezilwane ezingavamile. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izikebhe zazo zonke izinhlobo zihamba ngalezi zandiso ezinkulu zamanzi ahlanzekile futhi kujwayelekile ukuthi abadobi nabathandi be-kayak bahlangane nezikebhe zasesikebhe, izikebhe zemithwalo yempahla, izikebhe ezidonsayo, njll.

Ukuvakashela amachibi amahlanu amakhulu eMelika kungumbono omuhle weholide lokuzijabulisa. Uma lokhu kuyindaba yakho futhi ungathanda ukuwavakashela, lapho-ke ngizothola okuningi ngalezi zimangaliso zemvelo.

ILake Michigan

ILake Michigan ingelinye lamachibi ayisihlanu amakhulu e-United States kodwa yiwona kuphela aphelele ezweni selokhu amanye abiwa neCanada. Izungezwe izifundazwe zaseWisconsin, e-Illinois, e-Indiana naseMichigan, eqanjwe ngechibi uqobo lwalo.

Leli chibi linendawo engamakhilomitha-skwele angama-57.750 nokujula kwamamitha angama-281. Kubhekwa njengechibi elikhulu kunawo wonke ezweni kanye nesihlanu emhlabeni. Umthamo wayo ungama-cubic km angu-4.918 wamanzi kanti iLake Michigan ikhuluma ngamapaki namabhishi amaningi.

Cishe abantu abayizigidi eziyi-12 bahlala osebeni lwayo, abaningi babo ezindaweni ezincane zabavakashi abaphila ngamathuba anikezwa yiLake Michigan. Ukuchitha usuku uvakashele echibini kuwumqondo omuhle ukujabulela imvelo ngaphandle, uphumule futhi unqamule inqubo. Uhlelo olumnandi kakhulu ukungena esikebheni ukuze uwele ichibi. Ngemuva kwalokho, akukho okungcono kunokuzama ukudla kwasendaweni okunothile kusalmon kanye ne-trout.

Ogwini lweLake Michigan, esifundazweni sase-Illinois, kungelinye lamadolobha abaluleke kakhulu e-United States: iChicago. Waziwa njengeWindy City, idolobha lesithathu elinabantu abaningi e-United States, ngemuva kweNew York neLos Angeles.

Isizwe sase-Ojibwe sayibiza ngokuthi iGichigami okusho ukuthi "amanzi amakhulu" futhi siyisiziba esikhulu samanzi angenasawoti emhlabeni. Ukukunikeza umbono wobukhulu bayo obuhlaba umxhwele, iLake Superior ingaqukatha ivolumu yawo wonke amanye amaLwandle Omkhulu nezinye ezintathu ezinjengeLake Erie. Iyindawo ejulile kakhulu, enkulu kunazo zonke, futhi ebanda kakhulu eLwandle Olukhulu e-United States.

Njengokulangazelela, izivunguvungu eLake Superior zikhiqiza amagagasi amarekhodi angaphezu kwamamitha ayisithupha, kepha amagagasi angaphezu kwamamitha ayi-6 aqoshwe. Kuyamangalisa!

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ngaphakathi kwaleli chibi kuneziqhingi eziningana lapho okukhulu kunakho konke kuyiRoyale Island esifundeni saseMichigan. Lokhu nakho kuqukethe amanye amachibi aqukethe iziqhingi. Kunoma ikuphi, ezinye iziqhingi ezinkulu ezidumile zeLake Superior zifaka iMichipicoten Island esifundazweni sase-Ontario naseMadeline Island esifundazweni saseWisconsin.

IChibi i-Ontario

Ngokuphambene nalokho, ichibi elincane kunawo wonke oLwandle Olukhulu e-United States yiLake Ontario. Itholakala empumalanga kunamanye amachibi futhi ingeyaseCanada nase-United States: ingxenye esenyakatho isifundazwe sase-Ontario nengxenye eseningizimu isifundazwe saseNew York.

Phakathi nezwe, cishe ngamakhilomitha angama-30, singathola idolobha laseSirakuse futhi lixhunywe echibini ngumsele. Cishe abantu abayizigidi ezimbili bahlala ohlangothini lwaseMelika.

IChibi iHuron

ILake Huron ingelinye lamaLwandle Omkhulu ase-United States, ikakhulukazi ngosayizi, ingelesibili ngobukhulu kulawa mahlanu nelesine ngobukhulu emhlabeni. Kukhulu kunayo yonke iCroatia! Itholakala phakathi kwe-United States neCanada, enkabeni yeNyakatho Melika futhi ingenye yezindawo ezivakashelwa kakhulu ngamasimu ayo amahle, ikakhulukazi izivakashi.

Lapho zingafinyeleleki, abantu bayeneliseka ukubazungeza njengeThenip edumile, isithombe sazo sonke esinamahlathi omhlophe wepayini phezulu.

Njengokulangazelela, iLake Huron ligcwele iziqhingi, iningi lazo lisenyakatho, ngaphakathi kwemingcele yaseCanada, kuyiManitoulin Island, enkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni echibini lamanzi angenasawoti.

Ichibi erie

ILake Erie iyindawo eseningizimu kunazo zonke emaLwandle Omkhulu amahlanu e-United States futhi ayijulile kakhulu. Itholakala emngceleni ne-Ontario eCanada futhi isebenza njengemingcele yezifunda zasePennsylvania, e-Ohio, eMichigan naseNew York ohlangothini lwe-US.

Ngenxa yobukhulu bayo (ithatha cishe amakhilomitha-skwele angama-25.700), ithathwa njengechibi lemvelo leshumi nantathu emhlabeni. Ukuhamba ngokugcwele, inokuphakama ngaphezu kogu lolwandle lwamamitha ayi-173 kanye nokujula okuphakathi kwamamitha ayi-19; ngalo mqondo, kungukujula kweLwandle Olukhulu luphelele.

Kwakuwukugcina kwamaLwandle Amakhulu ukutholwa kanye nabahloli bamazwe baseFrance abenza kanjalo balibiza ngeLake Erie ngegama lesizwe somdabu esinegama elifanayo elihlala kule ndawo.

Njengamanye amachibi, kuneziqhingi eziningi eLake Erie futhi. Sekukonke kunamashumi amabili nane, ayisishiyagalolunye awo ngeseCanada. Ezinye zeziqhingi ezinkulu yiKelleys Island, iSouth Bass Island, noma iJohnson's Island.

Njengokulangazelela, iLake Erie ine-microclimate yayo, eyenza le ndawo ithele izithelo zokutshala, imifino nemivini yokwenza iwayini. ILake Erie nayo iyathandwa ngamachachazi ayo eLake Effect angena ezindaweni ezisempumalanga yedolobha, kusukela eShaker Heights kuye eBuffalo. Lokhu kwenzeka ngasekupheleni kobusika nasekuqaleni kwentwasahlobo.
