ʻO ke one kekahi o nā mea maʻamau ma ka honua. Hana ʻia ke one me nā ʻāpana pōhaku liʻiliʻi loa. Inā ʻoi aku ka nui o ke one ma mua o ʻelua millimeters, ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia he ʻiliʻili.
Hoʻokumu ʻia ke one i nā makahiki he nui mai nā pōhaku i kēlā wā. Hana ʻia ka hapa nui o ke one me ka quartz, he mineral. No nā pōhaku o nā lua pele kekahi one.
Eia nō naʻe, hele mai ke one mai nā holoholona a i ʻole nā mea kanu. No ka laʻana, loaʻa i ka mussel ka pūpū me ka mea like me ka ʻili hua. ʻO nā ʻāpana liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi a i ʻole ke koena o ke koʻa he ʻāpana o ke one, ʻoi aku ka nui ma nā kahakai a i ʻole ma ka moena o ka muliwai.
Aia nā ʻano one like ʻole: He poepoe ka ʻili o ke one wao nahele a he ʻili pahee. Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike maopopo ma lalo o ka microscope. Ke pā ka makani iā lākou a puni, ʻāwili lākou i kekahi i kekahi. ʻO ke one o ke kai, ʻo ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, he angular a he ʻeleʻele ka ʻili.
Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia ke one ma nā wao nahele, ma kahakai, a ma ke kai. I loko o kēlā me kēia lepo, aia kahi hapa o ke one. Inā nui ke one o ka honua, ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia he one one. He mea maʻamau lākou ma ʻEulopa.
He aha ka mea e pono ai nā kānaka i ke one?
Pono ka poʻe i kēia lā i ke one nui no ka hana ʻana i ke one. Pono kēia i ka sima, ka wai, a me nā mea hoʻohui kemika ʻē aʻe. Hoʻohana lākou i ke kaʻa no ke kūkulu ʻana i nā hale, nā alahaka, a me nā hale ʻē aʻe he nui.
Akā hiki iā ʻoe ke kūkulu me ke one mai ke kai. ʻO nā ʻāpana o ke one wao nahele he poʻipoʻo loa a ʻaʻole i hana ʻia i ke kaila ikaika, ʻaʻole pili i ka nui o ka sima. Ma nā kahakai a me nā wahi he nui o ke kai, ʻaʻohe one hou no ka mea ua pau. No laila, kiʻi ʻia ke one mai kahi mamao aku ma nā moku nui, pinepine mai nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe.
Nui ka poʻe makemake i ka nui o ke one ma kahakai. I kekahi manawa, ahu ʻia ke one no kēia. He mea liʻiliʻi naʻe kēia, no ka mea, lawe hou ke au i ke one. Pono ʻoe e hoʻopiha hou.
No ka hāʻawi ʻana o ke one, ke lele ʻoe i kahi lōʻihi e hoʻopau pinepine ʻoe i kahi one. Hoʻokumu pinepine ʻia nā lako pā pāʻani i loko o nā lua o ke one i ʻole e ʻeha ke keiki inā hāʻule. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i kekahi mea mai ke one. Pili kēia i ka pahu one no ka pāʻani ʻana a me ke kiʻi i hana ʻia me ke one.
