7.6-Inyikima Enkulu yaqhambuka kuMntla weSulawesi, Indoneshiya; Isilumkiso seTsunami Sikhutshiwe

Inyikima enamandla yabetha kunxweme loMntla weSulawesi, Indoneshiya, e 5:48 a.m. ixesha lasekuhlaleni ngo-Epreli 2, 2026. IMeteorology yaseIndonesia, I-Climatology ne-Geophysical Agency ilinganise inyikima ngokobungakanani 7.6 ngobunzulu obugxile malunga 10 iikhilomitha, ngelixa i-United States Geological Survey irekhoda njengobukhulu 7.8. Abasemagunyeni bakhawuleza bakhupha isilumkiso ngetsunami, ukubongoza abahlali abakwiindawo ezingaselunxwemeni ukuba baphume baye kwiindawo eziphezulu ngokukhawuleza.

Ngokutsho kwe-arhente yemozulu yase-Indonesia, i-epicenter yayibekwe malunga 150 Iikhilomitha kumzantsi-mpuma weTalaud Islands kuMntla weSulawesi. Iinyikima ezinamandla zathatha imizuzwana emininzi kwimimandla engqongileyo, ngokushukuma okubalulekileyo okuvakala kwikomkhulu lephondo laseManado nakuMntla Maluku. Akukho zingxelo ezisemthethweni zokwenzakala okanye umonakalo omkhulu oye wakhululwa ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, kodwa oorhulumente basekhaya baye bavula iindlela zokusabela kwimeko engxamisekileyo kwaye baququzelela ukufuduswa kwabahlali baselunxwemeni.

Iziko lokulumkisa ngeTsunami kwiPasifiki eUnited States nalo lakhupha isilumkiso, echaza ukuba inyikima inokubangela itsunami eyingozi enokuchaphazela iindawo ezingaselunxwemeni kungekuphela nje eIndonesia kodwa nakwiiPhilippines naseMalaysia.. Eli ziko licele amazwe achaphazelekayo ukuba abeke iliso elibukhali ekutshintsheni komgangatho wolwandle kwaye athathe amanyathelo okhuseleko kwangethuba.

I-Indonesia imi ecaleni kwePacific Ring of Fire, indawo eyaziwa ngokusebenza rhoqo kwe-tectonic, ukwenza iinyikima nokudubula kwentaba-mlilo kuxhaphake. Esi siganeko sisebenza njengesinye isikhumbuzo sokubaluleka kokomeleza ukulungela iintlekele kunye neenkqubo zokulumkisa kwangethuba. Abasemagunyeni bayaqhubeka nokubeka iliso emva kweenyikima kwaye bavavanye umngcipheko onokwenzeka wetsunami.
