Mitengo imakhala ndi gawo lofunikira m'miyoyo ya anthu - imatha kukhala gwero la chakudya, zinthu zomanga, mphamvu ndi zinthu zina zofunika, komanso ndi "mapapu" a dziko lathu lapansi. Pachifukwa ichi, ali pansi pa chisamaliro komanso chitetezo cha akatswiri azachilengedwe - izi ndizowona makamaka kwa oyimira apamwamba kwambiri pazomera, chifukwa aliyense wa iwo ali ndi zaka zosachepera mazana angapo. Chochititsa chidwi, mtengo wamtali kwambiri padziko lapansi ndi abale ake ndi amtundu wa sequoia (Sequoia sempervirens) ndipo umamera m'malo amodzi ku North America.
Hyperion - mtengo wamtali kwambiri padziko lapansi
Mu nthano yakale yachi Greek, dzina loti Hyperion lidali limodzi mwa matchulidwe, ndipo matchulidwe enieni a dzinali amatanthauza "okwera kwambiri"
Mtengo wautali kwambiri pakadali pano amatchedwa sequoia wotchedwa Hyperion. Imamera kumwera kwa California ku Redwoods National Park, kutalika kwake ndi 115.61 m, ndipo thunthu lake limakhala pafupifupi 4.84 m, ndipo msinkhu wake ndi zaka pafupifupi 800. Zowona, pambuyo kuti nsonga ya Hyperion itawonongeka ndi mbalame, adasiya kukula ndipo atha kupereka ulemuwo kwa abale ake.
Mitengo pamwamba Hyperion imadziwika m'mbiri. Chifukwa chake, lipoti la woyang'anira ku Australia wa nkhalango za boma mu 1872 likutiuza za mtengo wakugwa ndi kuwotchedwa, udali wokulirapo kuposa mita 150. Mtengowo unali wa amitundu ya Eucalyptus regnans, zomwe zikutanthauza kuti eucalyptus.
Helios
Pafupifupi mitengo yonse yayikulu ili ndi mayina awo
Mpaka pa Ogasiti 25, 2006, woimira wina wa genus sequoia wotchedwa Helios, yemwenso amakula ku Redwoods, amadziwika kuti ndiye mtengo wamtali kwambiri padziko lapansi. Adataya mwayi wake pambuyo pomwe ogwira ntchito paki adapeza kumbali yakumtunda kwa Redwood Creek mtengo wotchedwa Hyperion, koma pali chiyembekezo choti atha kuubwezeretsanso. Mosiyana ndi mchimwene wake wamtali, Helios akupitilizabe kukula, ndipo zaka zingapo zapitazo kutalika kwake kunali 114,58 m.
Icarus
Mtengowo udatchedwa ndi dzina polemekeza ngwazi yanthano yopeka chifukwa imamera pang'onopang'ono
Kutseka atatu apamwamba ndi sequoia ina kuchokera ku park yomweyo ya California Redwoods yotchedwa Icarus. Zinapezeka pa Julayi 1, 2006, kutalika kwa fanizoli ndi 113.14 m, thunthu la thunthu ndi 3.78 m.
Padziko lapansi pali mitengo 30 yokha yomwe sequoias imakula. Izi ndi mtundu wachilendo, ndipo akatswiri azachilengedwe akuyesera kuichirikiza - kuulitsa mwapadera ku Briteni (Canada) ndikuteteza mosamala zachilengedwe.
Giant stratosphere
Kwa zaka khumi, mtengowu umakula pafupifupi 1 cm
Izi zinapezeka mu 2000 (malo - California, Humboldt National Park) ndipo kwa zaka zingapo zimawoneka ngati mtsogoleri kutalika pakati pa mbewu zonse padziko lapansi, mpaka m'nkhalango komanso ofufuza atazindikira Icarus, Helios ndi Hyperion. Chimphona cha Stratosphere chikupitirirabe kukula - ngati mu 2000 kutalika kwake kunali 112.34 m, ndipo mu 2010 chidali kale ndi 113.11 m.
National Geographic Society
Mtengowu umatchedwa American Geographical Society
Woimira Sequoia sempervirens okhala ndi dzina loyambirira limakulanso ku Redwoods California Park pamagombe a Redwood Creek River, kutalika kwake ndi 112.71 m, thunthu ndi mamita 4.39 Mpaka 1995, National Geographic Society idatengedwa ngati mtsogoleri pakati zimphona, koma lero ikungokhala mzere wachisanu paudindo.
Mitengo yayitali 10 yakutali padziko lapansi pavidiyo
Mitengo yomwe tafotokozayi ndi yobisika kwathunthu kuchokera kwa anthu wamba - asayansi akuda nkhawa kuti kuchuluka kwakukulu kwa alendo opita ku zimphona izi kudzapangitsa kuti nthaka iwonongeke komanso kuwonongeka kwa mizu yotsatana ya sequoia. Lingaliro ili ndi lolondola, chifukwa mitengo yayitali kwambiri padziko lapansi si mitundu yachilengedwe, motero iyenera kutetezedwa.
