How does fire affect your lives?
It burns you :'[
Is a fire devil a fire tornado?
Fire devils or fire whirls are sometimes referred to as fire tornadoes, but they are generally not considered true tornadoes.
How much time does a fire tornado last?
Fire whirls will usually last a few seconds to a few minutes.
What are fire tornadoes also called?
They are also called fire whirls. This is the term preferred by scientists as they technically are not tornadoes.
When do fire whirls occur?
Fire whirls are a rare but potentially catastrophic form of fire. These buoyant fire plumes are columns of ascending air with rotational motion which carry aloft smoke, debris, and flames greatly increasing the rate of fire spread .Fire whirls range from a foot or two in diameter to small tornadoes in size and intensityOnce a fire whirl leaves the influence of the main fire it quickly loses intensity and becomes an ordinary whirlwindIn order for a fire whirl to exist, there must be an organized source of angular momentum, either from wind shear or from the fire's convection column, which in turn creates large swirl velocities as air is entrained into the fire plumeFire whirls occur most frequently where heavy concentrations of fuels are burning and a large amount of heat is being generated in a small area.Mechanical forces are often present which serve as triggering mechanisms to start the whirl.A common area for fire whirls is the lee side of a ridge where the heated air from the fire is sheltered from general winds. Mechanical eddies produced as the wind blows across the ridge can serve as the triggering mechanism to initiate the fire whirl. On flat terrain they tend to occur on the lee side of the fire near the outside edges of the front.Even in small fires that aren't exhibiting extreme fire behavior, fire whirls can be created by lighting patterns. A rotational motion can be generated when two lines of fire come together, particularly if they approach at right angles. If large fire whirls are created, fire control problems can result.
What are fire tornadoes?
Fire tornadoes, also called fire whirls or fire devils are vorticies of smoke or flame that can form during very intense fires. These vorticies are technically not tornadoes.
Do humans affect forests?
By setting it on fire and pooping in the trees. Peeing there also sets off a toxic waste which starts fire.
Are fire tornadoes real?
Sort of but, they are called fire whirls but technically aren't tornadoes. They form in a way more like dust devils than real tornadoes.
Is there such thing as a fire tornado and can blow anything up?
There are fire whirls which are sometimes called fire tornadoes even though they technically are not tornadoes. They are whirlwinds made of smoke and/or fire. If they do contain actual fire they could potentially cause an explosion if they came in contact with something explosive just as the case is with any fire.
Do humans affect fire flies?
Yes, because we catch the small creatures for example a kid catches one. Squishes it in it's hand to run and tell its parent/parents/and we are much bigger. So we hurt them. It affect fire flies.
Why was Promethean from the Greek Gods punished?
It was Prometheus, not Promethean, the Greek Titan god of forethought, and he wanted to give humans better lives. He was ultimately punished because he stole fire from the Gods and shared it with humans.
How does fire tornado work?
Fire whirls work in a manner somewhat similar to dust devils. The intense heat produced by a fire will always generate an updraft. As air flows into the fire it may gain some spin as it interacts with vegetation and topography. This spin can then be taken on by the updraft, producing a vortex of smoke and flames.
