Entlango
Intlango yingingqi ehlala izilwanyana nekumila kuyo izityalo kodwa umhlaba wayo ube yinkqantosi ngokoma. Ifumana imvula engaphantsi kwama25 ee-cm (malunga neeintshi ezili-9.8) zemvula ngonyaka. Omnye umphandi uyichaza intlango njengayo nayiphi na ingingqi esenokunqatyelwa ngamanzi kwisithuba esithile sonyaka. Ngamanye amazwi, zinganemvula okanye amanzi amancinane kakhulu ngonyaka kunalawo ziwakhupha emhlabeni ngeevaporation".[1]
Iindawo ezinje ngezi zithatha umhlaba ongangama-33% apha emhlabeni. [2] Oko kuquka umhlaba omninzi waseAntarctica, apho umhlaba omninzi ungafumani liqhwa kwaphela. Eyona ntlango inkulu nenobushushu obuphakamileyo yintlango yaseSahara, emantla eAfrica, ithatha umhlaba ozii square kilomitha ezizizigidi ezilu-9.
Inyaniso eyenza umdla
tshintshaKwiintlango ezitshisayo ungabona imirage okanye ifata morgana. Imirage ke kukukhanya okuqhathayo. Kungakwenza ucinge okokuba kukho ipuli yamanzi entlango, kube kungekho kwamanzi apho.
