Pehea Pehea i hoʻomaka ai kēia hoʻomaka?
Pehea e hiki ai i Arizona, he moku i hoʻokaeʻia, he mau mokuʻoi aʻe ma mua o ka "Moku Lūkini nui" o Michigan a me Florida, ka moku'āina iʻoi aku i kahi 1,300 mau mile mai ke kahakai?
Ma hope o ka makahiki 2006, ināʻimiʻoe i "ka nui o nā moku no kēlā moku kēia moku,"ʻikeʻoe i nāʻikeʻehā ma ka pūnaewele e hoʻomau nei i kēia kuhihewa.
ʻO ia mau mea:ʻo ka Encyclopedia Britannica, ka Chamber of Commerce a me ka Mesa Community College a me ka AZCentral.com, ka pūnaewele pūnaewele o ka Arizona Republic, ka nūpepa poʻokela o Arizona. Mai ia manawa, ua weheʻia kēia mau kumu i ka kuleana hewa.
I kēia mau lā, he mau pūnaewele kūʻokoʻa ke hoʻomau i ka moena. Inā kōkua ka myth e kūʻai aku i nā hale a me ka lakefront waiwai, e ola mau ka moʻolelo.
ʻO'Awīwī Moana a me nā Lakes
He maha nā loko o Arizona, e pili ana i 200, aʻo ka hapa nui ka manmade. A ma muli o ke ea maloʻo o Arizona, nui nā loko i loko o ka moana aʻaʻohe wai i loko o ka makahiki holoʻokoʻa. Ma ka'āpana'āina o Arizona, he 0.32 pakeneka ka wai,ʻo ia ka mea i hoʻoliloʻia aiʻo Arizona ka moku'āina me ka hapa nui o ka wai ma hope o New Mexico. ʻO ka muliwaiʻo Colorado, me ka palenaʻo Arizona me Kaleponi a me Nevada, kahi i loaʻa aiʻo Arizona he 40 pakeneka o kona wai wai.
ʻO wai ka mea e mālama mau ana i nā moku?
Mālama ka US Coast Guard i nā palapala inoa moku no kēlā moku'āina. ʻO ka moku, a moku paha, ua kapaʻiaʻo ia ka "holowai a mea'ē aʻe paha i hoʻohanaʻia, aiʻole hiki ke hoʻohanaʻia, ma keʻano he mea e lawe ai i ka wai." ʻO kēia ho'ākāka,ʻo ia nā'ōpili, nā moku holo, nā waʻa, a me nā kayak. Eia hou,ʻo ka Arizona Game a me ka iʻa iʻa o ka Moku'āina, a he mau'ōlelo hōʻailona no ka moku moku moku holoʻokoʻa, ua hōʻoleʻo ia heʻoiaʻiʻo.

ʻO ke kaʻina o kēlā me kēia pane pākahi ke kanaka (aʻo ka'ōlelo maoli, ma ke poʻo). ʻO ia hoʻi ma ka pakeneka pakeneka, pono e loaʻaʻo'Akeona i ka hapa nui loa o nā palapala inoa o ka moku e pili ana i ka nui o ka lāhui.
