Insimu enkulu ye- ENyakatho Melika Iqukethe izikhala zemvelo ezinkulu, kuzo kufanele kuqhakanjiswe ukuma komhlaba kwe izingwadule (Ngokudidayo, kusenezindawo okungahlali kuzo abantu yize kunabantu abaningi eMexico nase-United States).
Phakathi kwezingwadule ezibaluleke kakhulu eNyakatho Melika kumele sisho insimu enkulu evulekile engxenyeni esenyakatho yezwekazi laseMelika, esikhuluma ngakho Ugwadule lwaseChihuahuan namakhilomitha-skwele ayo ayizinkulungwane ezingama-450 aphumula endaweni yaseNew Mexico, eTexas, eChihuahua naseCoahuila. Kuyiqiniso, lolu hlane, ngokungafani nesithombe esinaso ngokwengqondo, akuyona indawo enesihlabathi. Kunalokho, iyihlane eliwubhuqu namatshe lapho ungathola khona uchungechunge lwezintaba, izintaba ngisho namahlathi ezitshalo asinda ezimweni zezulu ezimbi kakhulu. Izinga lokushisa elijwayelekile laleli hlane, uma liqhathaniswa nezingwadule zase-Afrika nase-Asia alinamandla kangako, ngoba amazinga aphezulu okushisa aweqi kuma-40 degrees Celsius ngosuku lwasehlobo.
Enye yezingwadule ezinkulu zaseNyakatho Melika yi Ugwadule lweSonoran, efana neChihuahuan Desert, ehlala ezweni laseMexico nase-US, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni zase-Arizona, California naseSonora. Kodwa-ke, ugwadule iSonoran lubaluleke kakhulu kunalolo olwalubizwe ngaphambili ngenxa yendawo yalo enkulu engamakhilomitha-skwele ayizinkulungwane ezingama-311.
Ukubeka engozini yokuqwala izintaba nxazonke lapha kungumsebenzi wabahambi abanesibindi, hhayi ngoba bazohlangana nezilwane eziyingozi kepha ngenxa yokuthi indawo enobutha kuzofanele ibhekane nayo njengoba leli hlane libhekwa njengelishisa kakhulu emhlabeni.
Yize iSundoran Desert ingenye yezinto ezihlaba umxhwele kakhulu, okwaziwa kakhulu kuyo yonke iNyakatho Melika ngokungangabazeki yiyona Ugwadule iMojave, okuvezwe kakhulu kumabhayisikobho aseHollywood, ikakhulukazi asentshonalanga alandisa ngezimpi eziphakathi kwama-cowboy namaNdiya.

Ukufika lapho kufanele sithuthele eCalifornia, e-Utah, eNevada noma e-Arizona.
Manje njengoba wazi izingwadule zaseNyakatho Melika, ingabe ulokotha uthathe uhambo oluhlukile?
