Chitsuwa cheGalapogas chiri kupi? Ndeipi iri nharaunda yeGalapogas? Kune zvitsuwa zvingani zvacho? Chitsuwa chokutanga chakaumbwa rini? Ndeapi ari maVolcano mashomanene muGalapogas?
Context:Zvitsuwa zviri kumabvazuva kwePacific Ocean, 973 km (605 mi) kubva kumahombekombe ekumadokero kweSouth America. Zvizhinji zvezvitsuwa zvakare zviri zvikuru rutivi rweSouth Pacific. Nzvimbo iri pedyo zvikuru inyika yeEcuador, nyika yavanogara, 926 km (500 nmi) kumabvazuva.   Kufungidzira kwokutaura kwakanangidzirwa pamusoro peGalapagos.  Chikoro chehove dzinonzi hammerheads, Wolf Island, Galapagos Islands.  Grapsus grapsus pamatombo.  Mufananidzo wakaitwa nesatellite wezvitsuwa zveGalápagos wakaiswa mazita ezvitsuwa zvikuru zvinooneka.  Isabela anoonekwa kubva kuSpot Satellite.  Albatrosses dzakarembera paEspañola.  Galápagos marine iguana.  Main Street paSan Cristóbal Island. Rwendo rwakafuridzirwa rweGalapagos. Muongorori wezvinhu zvomugungwa weNASA Gene Carl Feldman anotaura nezvemaonero aanoita nzvimbo iyi. Zvitsuwa izvi zvinowanikwa pamakona 1°40'N<unk>1°36'S, 89°16'<unk>92°01'W. Zvitsuwa zviri mumaketani aya zvinowanikwa kumaodzanyemba nekumaodzanyemba kwenyika, uye Volcán Wolf neVolcán Ecuador dziri paIsla Isabela dziri pamakona eEquator. Española Island, chitsuwa chiri kumaodzanyemba kwechitsuwa ichi, uye Darwin Island, chiri kuchamhembe, zvakapararira pamusoro penzvimbo yemakiromita 220 (137 mi). Sangano reInternational Hydrographic Organisation (IHO) rinozviona zvizere mukati meSouth Pacific Ocean, zvisinei The Galápagos Archipelago ine 7,880 km2 (3,040 sq mi) yenyika yakapararira pamusoro pe45,000 km2 (17,000 sq mi) yegungwa. Zvitsuwa zvakakura kupfuura zvose, Isabela, zvine nharaunda inosvika makiromita 5 800, uye zvinenge zvikamu zvitatu muzvitatu zvenharaunda yose yeGalapagos. Volcán Wolf iri paIsabela ndiyo nzvimbo yakakwirira zvikurusa, ine kukwirira kwemamita 1.707 (5,600 ft) pamusoro pegungwa.  Boka racho rine zvitsuwa zvikuru 18, zvitsuwa zviduku 3, uye matombo nezvitsuwa zviduku 107. Zvitsuwa zvacho zviri paGalapagos Triple Junction. Chitsuwa ichi chiri paNazca Plate (tectonic plate), iyo iri kuenda kumabvazuva / kumaodzanyemba kwakadziva kumabvazuva, ichinyura pasi peSouth American Plate pamwero weanenge 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) pagore.Iriwo pamusoro peGalápagos hotspot, nzvimbo iyo nyika yepasi iri kunyungudutswa kubva pasi ne mantle plume, ichigadzira makomo anoputika. Zvitsuwa zvokutanga zvakaumbwa pano makore anenge mamiriyoni 8 uye zvichida anosvika mamiriyoni 90 akapfuura.  Nepo zvitsuwa zvekare zvakanyangarika pasi pegungwa sezvo zvakabva mumhepo, zvitsuwa zviduku zvikuru, Isabela naFernandina, zvichiri kuumbwa. Muna April 2009, rava rakabva pachitsuwa cheFernandina chakaputika rakatanga kuyerera richienda kumahombekombe kwechitsuwa chacho uye richipinda mumupata wepakati.  Mukupera kwaJune 2018, Sierra Negra, rimwe remakomo anoputika mashanu ari paIsabela uye rimwe remakomo anoputika zvikuru muzvitsuwa zveGalapagos, rakatanga kuputika kekutanga kubva muna 2005. Mafashamo emarara akasvika kumhenderekedzo yegungwa, zvichiita kuti vagari vomunharaunda yacho vanenge makumi mashanu vabve uye zvichiita kuti vashanyi vasaendako.
Zvitsuwa zvacho zviri kumabvazuva kwePacific Ocean, makiromita 973 kubva kumhenderekedzo yokumadokero yeSouth America. Zvitsuwa zvacho zvinowanikwa pakuronga 1°40'N<unk>1°36'S, 89°16'<unk>92°01'W  Nharaunda yose yechitsuwa cheGalapogos ine nzvimbo inosvika 7 880 km2.  Boka racho rine zvitsuwa zvikuru 18, zvitsuwa zviduku 3.  Zvitsuwa zvokutanga zvakaumbwa pano makore anenge mamiriyoni 8 uye zvichida anosvika mamiriyoni 90 akapfuura  Sierra Negra ndeimwe yemakomo anoputika mashanu.
