I-bog yindawo apho umhlaba uhlala umanzi. Ngenxa yokuba umhlaba usoloko umanzi njengesiponji esimanzi, zizityalo nezilwanyana ezithile kuphela ezinokuhlala apho. Akukho nasiphi na isilwanyana esihlala kulo mhlaba. Kodwa kukho izinambuzane ezininzi, umzekelo, amabhabhathane, izigcawu okanye ooqongqothwane. Ubulembu obukhethekileyo kunye nezityalo ezidliwayo, ezifana ne-sundew, zikhula kwi-bog.
Ibhogi ayifani nomgxobhozo. Ukuba ukhupha umgxobhozo, umhlaba ochumileyo uyasala, apho unokutyala kakuhle intsimi. Kwibhogi, ihlala ifumile iminyaka emininzi kwaye i-peat yenziwe.
Zenziwa njani iibhogi?
UMoore wayengasoloko ekho emhlabeni. Bavela kuphela emva kwexesha lokugqibela lomkhenkce. Ngexesha le-Ice Age, imimandla emikhulu yomhlaba yayigutyungelwe ngumkhenkce. Njengoko ukufudumala, umkhenkce wanyibilika waza wajika waba ngamanzi. Kwangaxeshanye, kwanetha kakhulu emva kwexesha lokugqibela lomkhenkce. Kwezinye iindawo, kwakukho imigangatho engangeni manzi. Apho kwakukho iintlambo okanye “imidiba” emhlabeni, kwakunokuvela amachibi.
Izityalo ezithanda amanzi ngoku zikhula kula machibi. Xa ezi zityalo zisifa, zitshona emazantsi echibi. Nangona kunjalo, izityalo azikwazi ukubola ngokupheleleyo phantsi kwamanzi, kuba kukho ioksijini encinci emhlabeni ngenxa yobuninzi bamanzi. Uhlobo lodaka lwenziwa ngamanzi kwaye isityalo sihlala.
Into eseleyo yezityalo ngokuhamba kwexesha ibizwa ngokuba yi-peat. Njengoko zisanda izityalo ngokuthe ngcembe zisifa, kuveliswa i-peat. I-bog ikhula ngokucothayo kwiminyaka emininzi. I-peat layer ikhula malunga ne-millimeter enye ngonyaka.
Kwanezilwanyana ezifileyo okanye nabantu ngamanye amaxesha ababoli ebhogini. Ngoko ke ngamanye amaxesha afunyanwa nasemva kweenkulungwane. Ezo zinto zifunyenweyo zibizwa ngokuba yi-bog body.
Ngawaphi amaMoors akhoyo?
Kukho iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zebhogi:
Iimours ezisezantsi zikwabizwa ngokuba ziimour ezisicaba. Uninzi lwamanzi abo bawafumana ngaphantsi komhlaba. Le yimeko apho kwakukho ichibi, umzekelo. Amanzi asenokuqukuqela ngaphantsi komhlaba ukuya kungena emgodini, umzekelo ngomthombo.
Iibhogi eziphakanyisiweyo zenziwa xa kunetha kakhulu unyaka wonke. Iibhogi eziphakanyisiweyo ke zinokuthiwa "iibhogi zamanzi emvula". Bafumana igama labo elithi "Hochmoor" kwindawo egobileyo, enokubonakala ngathi sisisu esincinci. Ingakumbi izityalo ezinqabileyo kunye nezilwanyana zihlala kwibhogi ephakanyisiweyo. Enye yazo yi-peat moss, ehlala igubungela iindawo ezinkulu zeebhogi eziphakanyisiweyo.
Uyisebenzisa njani iMoore?
Abantu babedla ngokucinga ukuba ibhogi ayinamsebenzi. Baye bavumela iimori ukuba zome. Kukwathiwa: Abantu “bawukhuphile” umoya. Bemba imisele apho amanzi anokuphuma khona. Emva koko abantu bagrumba loo peat baze bayisebenzisele ukutshisa, ukuchumisa amasimi abo, okanye ukwakha izindlu ngawo. Namhlanje, i-peat isathengiswa njengomhlaba wokugalela.
Kodwa namhlanje, ii-moors azifane zikhutshwe: kuye kwaqatshelwa ukuba izilwanyana ezininzi kunye nezityalo zihlala kuphela kwiimoors. Ukuba i-moors itshatyalalisiwe kwaye i-peat isusiwe, izilwanyana kunye nezityalo zilahlekelwa yindawo yazo yokuhlala. Abanakuhlala kwenye indawo kuba baziva bekhululekile kuphela ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwemoor.
Iimoors zikwabalulekile ekukhuseleni imozulu: izityalo zigcina igesi eyonakalisa imozulu yekharbon diokside. Emva koko bayiguqulela kwikhabhoni. Izityalo zigcina i-carbon eninzi kwi-peat ye-bog.
Iibhogi ezininzi ngoovimba bendalo. Namhlanje, ke, abantu bazama ukubuyisela iibhogi. Kwakhona kuthiwa ama-moors "amanzi kwakhona". Nangona kunjalo, oku kunzima kakhulu kwaye kuthatha iminyaka emininzi.
