Gungwa Rakafa riri pamuganhu wenyika mbiri - Joridhani neIsrael. Iyi hypermineralized dziva inzvimbo yakasarudzika paNyika. Muchinyorwa chino, tichatarisa zvimwe zvinonakidza chokwadi pamusoro peMunyu Chishamiso chepasi redu.
1. Nzvimbo uye mahombekombe eGungwa Rakafa zviri kureba kwemamita 423 pasi pegungwa. Iyi ndiyo nzvimbo yakaderera paNyika. 2. Iine 33,7% yemunyu, gungwa iri nderimwe remvura ine saline yakawanda. Nekudaro, muLake Assal (Djibouti, Africa) uye mamwe madziva muMcMurdo Dry Valleys muAntarctica (Lake Don Juan), kuwanda kwemunyu kwakanyanya kwakanyorwa. 3. Mvura iri muGungwa Rakafa ine munyu zvakapetwa ka8,6 pane yegungwa. Nekuda kwechiyero ichi chemunyu, mhuka hadzigari munzvimbo dzegungwa iri (naizvozvo zita). Mukuwedzera, macroscopic zvipenyu zvemumvura, hove nemiti hazvipowo mugungwa nekuda kwehuwandu hwemunyu. Nekudaro, huwandu hudiki hwebhakitiriya uye microbiological fungi iripo mumvura yeGungwa Rakafa.
4. Nzvimbo yeGungwa Rakafa yave nzvimbo huru yekutsvagisa hutano uye kurapwa nekuda kwezvikonzero zvakati. Kuumbwa kwemaminerari emvura, iyo yakaderera zvakanyanya yehukume uye zvimwe zvinokonzeresa mumhepo, yakaderera ultraviolet chiitiko chezuva nemwaranzi, yakakwira mhepo yemhepo pakudzika kukuru - zvese izvi zvinhu pamwe chete zvine simba rekuporesa pamuviri wemunhu. Maererano neBhaibheri, Gungwa Rakafa raiva nzvimbo yokupotera yaMambo Dhavhidhi. Iyi ndiyo imwe yenzvimbo dzekutanga dzekutandarira munyika, zvakasiyana siyana zvezvigadzirwa zvakapihwa kubva pano: kubva kubharisamu yekuEgypt mummification kusvika potashi fetereza. 5. Kureba kwegungwa 67 km, uye hupamhi (pahupamhi hwayo) ndeye 18 km.
