I-bog yindawo lapho umhlaba uhlala umanzi. Ngenxa yokuthi umhlabathi uhlale ugcwele amanzi njengesipontshi esimanzi, izitshalo nezilwane ezithile kuphela ezingahlala lapho. Azikho izilwane ezihlala emhlabathini we-bog uqobo. Kodwa kunezinambuzane eziningi, isibonelo, izimvemvane, izicabucabu noma amabhungane. Ubulembu obukhethekile nezitshalo ezidla inyama, njenge-sundew, zikhula esigodlweni.
I-bog ayifani nexhaphozi. Uma ukhipha ixhaphozi, inhlabathi evundile isala, ongatshala kuyo kahle insimu. Emgodini, ihlala inomswakama iminyaka eminingi futhi i-peat yakheka.
Akhiwa kanjani ama-bogs?
UMoore wayengekho ngaso sonke isikhathi emhlabeni. Zavela kuphela ngemva kwenkathi yokugcina yeqhwa. Phakathi neNkathi Yeqhwa, izindawo ezinkulu zomhlaba zazimbozwe yiqhwa. Njengoba kufudumala, iqhwa lancibilika laphenduka amanzi. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, lina kakhulu ngemva kwenkathi yokugcina yeqhwa. Kwezinye izindawo, kwakunezitezi ezingangenisi amanzi. Lapho kwakunezigodi noma “amadiphu” emhlabathini, kwakungase kwakheke amachibi.
Izitshalo ezinjengamanzi manje zimila kula machibi. Lapho lezi zitshalo zifa, zishona phansi echibini. Nokho, izitshalo azikwazi ukubola ngokuphelele ngaphansi kwamanzi, ngoba kunomoya-mpilo omncane kakhulu enhlabathini ngenxa yamanzi amaningi. Uhlobo lodaka lwakhiwa ngamanzi bese isitshalo sihlala.
Okusele kwezitshalo ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kubizwa nge-peat. Njengoba izitshalo eziningi zifa kancane kancane, kukhiqizwa i-peat eyengeziwe. I-bog ikhula kancane kakhulu eminyakeni eminingi. I-peat layer ikhula cishe imilimitha eyodwa ngonyaka.
Ngisho nezilwane ezifile ngisho nabantu ngezinye izikhathi ababoli esigodlweni. Ngakho-ke ngezinye izikhathi zitholakala ngisho nangemva kwamakhulu eminyaka. Okutholakele okunjalo kubizwa ngokuthi imizimba ye-bog.
Yiziphi amaMoor akhona?
Kunezinhlobo ezahlukene zama-bogs:
Ama-moors aphansi nawo abizwa ngokuthi ama-flat moors. Amanzi amaningi atholakala ngaphansi komhlaba. Lesi simo lapho kwakukhona ichibi, isibonelo. Amanzi angageleza ngaphansi komhlaba angene emgodini, isibonelo ngokusebenzisa isiphethu.
Amabhogi akhulisiwe akhiwa lapho lina kakhulu unyaka wonke. Ngakho-ke ama-bogs aphakanyisiwe angabuye abizwe ngokuthi "izikhukhula zamanzi emvula". Bathole igama labo elithi "Hochmoor" endaweni egobile, engabukeka njengesisu esincane. Izitshalo nezilwane ezingavamile ikakhulukazi zihlala endaweni ephakanyisiwe. Enye yazo i-peat moss, evame ukumboza izindawo ezinkulu zamabhogi aphakanyisiwe.
Ungayisebenzisa kanjani i-Moore?
Abantu babecabanga ukuthi ibhodwe alinamsebenzi. Baye bavumela ama-moor ukuba ome. Kuphinde kuthiwe: Abantu “bawuchithile” umoya. Bamba imisele amanzi ayengaphuma ngayo. Abantu babe sebemba le peat futhi bayisebenzisela ukushisa, ukuvundisa amasimu abo, noma ukwakha ngayo izindlu. Namuhla, i-peat isathengiswa njengomhlabathi wobumba.
Kodwa namuhla, ama-moors awavamile ukuphuma: kuye kwaqashelwa ukuthi izilwane eziningi nezitshalo zingahlala kuphela kuma-moors. Uma ama-moors ebhujiswa futhi i-peat isusiwe, izilwane nezitshalo zilahlekelwa indawo yazo. Abakwazi ukuhlala kwenye indawo ngoba bazizwa benethezekile kuphela phakathi nendawo ezungezile.
Ama-moor nawo abalulekile ekuvikelweni kwesimo sezulu: izitshalo zigcina igesi elimaza isimo sezulu i-carbon dioxide. Bese beyiguqula ibe yikhabhoni. Izitshalo zigcina ikhabhoni eningi ku-peat of bog.
Amabhogi amaningi ayiziqiwi. Namuhla, ngakho-ke, abantu bazama ngisho nokubuyisela ama-bogs. Kuphinde kuthiwe ama-moors "amanziswa kabusha". Nokho, lokhu kuyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu futhi kuthatha iminyaka eminingi.
