I would say that they are more geographical than geological
The geology might affect the rock and therefore water retainment/porosity which could lead to the drying out of plants and trees.
It is the geography like terrain, wind and weather that would determine its spreading and cause
Following your question update I would say it is mainly meteorological basically weather than geological. Merci
Meteorological conditions can exacerbate bushfires. Lightning strikes can start the fires, and the flames can be fanned further by strong, gale-force winds.
yes it does
because of the trees
Bushfires, as they are properly called in Australia, are very common, particularly during the summer months. Parts of southern Australia, where the summers can be very hot and dry for extended periods of time, are particularly bushfire-prone. Bushfires occur throughout Australia, wherever the vegetation becomes dried out and easily ignited during heatwaves or drought. A common cause of bushfires is when tinder-dry vegetation is struck by lightning.There have been several significant bushfires that have caused great devastation and loss of life in Australia since European settlement. The Black Friday bushfires (1939), Ash Wednesday bushfires (1983), Canberra bushfires (2003) and Black Saturday bushfires (2009) have been among Australia's worst natural disasters.
Bushfires destroy many things. They can burn down houses and forests. It can wreck the habitat. It can have a great psycological effect
It is difficult to say. The towns destroyed or most severely damaged in the February 2009 bushfires were:MarysvilleKinglakeNarbethongHazeldeneKilmoreYeaChurchillNarre Warren
#1 What are bushfires called in German? (or any language you'd like) #2 Where are bushfires found? #3 What kind of soil do bushfires grow in?
Bushfires cannot happen during flooding rains.
Bushfires do not have names, unlike cyclones and hurricanes.
fire....
Regions around Perth in Western Australia were badly hit by bushfires in 2011.
Kangaroo Island bushfires happened on 2007-12-06.
no
Bushfires are unpredictable. However, they always move faster uphill - for every ten degrees of gradient slope, the bushfire speed doubles. Depending on the winds, bushfires can rapidly change direction.
There have been too many bushfires to number. Despite being in the south, Victoria is one of Australia's hottest and driest states in Summer, and because there is so much dense bushland and sloping mountainsides (which bushfires quickly ascend), bushfires are particularly common in January and February.
The eucalyptus tree does not require bushfires to reproduce, but bushfires can aid reproduction. Intense heat tends to explode the seed pods thereby helping in reproduction process of the tree.
Yes. Victoria's most common natural disasters have been bushfires. Bushfires occur regularly through the hot, dry summer months in Victoria, but three notable bushfires have been:'Black Friday' bushfires: 13 January 1939 - a firestorm swept across southern Victoria, killing 71.'Ash Wednesday' bushfires, 16 February 1983 - 47 killed in Victoria, and another 28 in South Australia'Black Saturday' bushfires, February-March 2009 - 173 killed.
