Iko equator ndiro mutsara unofungidzira unoparadzanisa nechokumaodzanyemba hemisphere kubva kumaodzanyemba kwemaodzanyemba uye unofamba uchienda nechepakati pePasi pane rutivi rwemazero chaiwo. MuAfrica, iyo equator inomhanya kwemakiromita anenge 2 500 nemakiromita 4,020 kuburikidza nevanomwe maWest , Central uye East East nyika kumaodzanyemba kweSahara Desert. Zvinoshamisa ndezvokuti nyika dzeAfrica dzakasungwa neEquator hadziitiwo Equatorial Guinea .
Pane kudaro, ndeaya anotevera: São Tomé naPríncipe, Gabon, Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo , Uganda, Kenya neSomalia.
Kuwana Equator
Munguva yakapfuura, zvaive zvichiita kuti vafambi vasina njere vatevere iyo equator parwendo rwavo kuburikidza neAfrica. Zvisinei, nzira yacho haisisiri yakachengeteka, ine nyika dzinoverengeka dziri pedyo neEricatorial line inotarisirwa nehondo yehurumende, hugandanga, kuparadza urombo uye kurwisa. Mutsara unofungidzira unofambawo kune dzimwe nzvimbo dzakanyanyisa zvikuru pasi pano - kusanganisira masango akare eCongo, makomo akadzikamwa akaoma eUuganda uye mvura yakadzika yegungwa guru muAfrica, Lake Victoria. Zvisinei, paunenge uchifamba urefu hweko equator hausati wanyatsokurudzirwa, kushanyira iyo kamwechete ndeyekusagadzikana kwechiitiko cheAfrica.
Nzvimbo yean equator inofananidzwa zvakananga neyePasi inotenderera axis, inofamba zvishoma zvishoma mugore rose.
Nokudaro, iyo equator haisi iyo static - zvinoreva kuti rwonzi rwakatorwa pasi kune dzimwe equatorial markers harusi nguva dzose rakarurama. Zvisinei, ichi chinhu chakanyatsogadzirwa, uye izvi zviratidzo zvisati zviri pedyo zvikuru zvokuti unogona kusvika pakati pePasi. Bhadhara chero imwe yevakashanyira, uye iwe uchakwanisa kutaura kuti iwe wakanamatira iyo equator nechitsiko chimwe mune imwe nyika.
Africa Equatorial Markers
Kazhinji, equator yeAfrica inoratidzirwa pasina hupfumi. Kazhinji, chiratidzo chiri parutivi pomugwagwa chiratidzo chete chaunenge uine nzvimbo yako inokosha-saka zvakakosha kutsvakurudza apo mutsara uri mberi kuti iwe ugare wakatarisa ziso. MuKenya, kune zviratidzo zvinoparidza equator mumaguta ekumaruwa eNanyuki neSiriba, asi zviratidzo zvakafanana zviripo mumugwagwa weMasala- Kampala muUganda, uye mugwagwa wa Libreville -Lambarene kuGabon.
Rimwe reAfrica rakanakisisa kuenzanisa nevekudenga ndiyo yenyika yechipiri duku, São Tomé naPríncipe. Rudzi rwechiwikwi runopemberera nzvimbo yaro yekutengesa nechokuyeuchidza dombo uye kuputika kwemepu yenyika iri padiki Rolas Island. Mutsara unofungidzira unofambawo muMeru National Park yeKenya, uye apo pasina chimiro, kune chimwe chinhu chakanaka chekuona mitambo zvakananga pamusoro peEquator. Panzvimbo yepamusoro yehotera Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club Resort, unogona kuyambuka iyo equator nekufamba kubva kubva mumba mako kuenda kuresitorendi.
Equatorial Phenomena
Kana iwe ukazviwana uri paEquator, tora nguva kuti uongorore zvimwe zvisinganzwisisiki chokwadi nenyanzvi dzakabatana nekumira pamutsara pakati pezvose hemispheres.
Simba rekushanduka kwepanyika rinokonzera kukura kwepasi paEquator, zvinoreva kuti iwe uri kubva kune Pasi pano pano kupfuura chero kupi zvako kune imwe nyika pasi. Nokudaro simba rekuvhenekera rinoshandisa zvishoma kudhonza pamuviri wako, kuitira kuti paan equator iwe unorema anenge 0.5% pasi paunenge uchida kuPoles.
Vamwe vanotendawo kuti kutenderera kwePasi kunobatsira kune iyo nzira iyo inonaya mvura inoyerera-kuitira kuti chimbuzi chigova nechokuno nechokumaodzanyemba hemisphere uye chisingaoneki kumaodzanyemba kwenyika. Ichi chinoshamisa chinonzi inozivikanwa seCoriolis Effect uye inofanira kutaurira kuti kuEricator, mvura inoyerera zvakananga pasi. Vazhinji masayendisiti vanobvumirana kuti nekuda kwenhamba yakawanda yekunze kwezvinhu, izvi hazvigone kuratidzirwa nechinangwa chechokwadi-asi chinonakidza kuzviongorora iwe pachako.
