Forest fires are caused by lightning strikes (26% of all fires) or human activity (74%).
When the fire is caused by human activity it is from one of the following:
Once a fire is started it is very difficult to stop. Gradually, the fire spreads around the forest if not stopped. many animals are forced to find another home. some plants, however, are able to grow even after the fire.
The primary way bushfires spread is by them being fuelled by dry and/or flammable vegetation. A major way to minimise the effects of bushfires is to undertake controlled burnoffs prior to the main fire season: this reduces the available fuel. However, the influence of environmental groups has meant fewer controlled burns are being carried out, with the result that summer bushfires have plenty of fuel to help them spread.
Another way bushfires spread is by the prevalence of often hot, gusting winds which, naturally enough, cause the fire to spread rapidly.
Eucalyptus trees themselves help spread bushfires. These trees are at the heartt of most Australian bushland. Eucalyptus oil in a eucalyptus tree can reach excessive temperatures, literally exploding the crown of the tree, sending sparks flying. Other trees do not explode like this. At these higher elevations (high up in the tree) where the tree crown tends to be exposed, the wind gusts generated by the flames are more intense, and the sparks and flaming branches and leaves will spread further to other bushland.
forest fores spread when strong winds push the fires everywhere
A lightning strike is a common cause of wild fires, which can happen anywhere.
More wild fires occur now because of the increased droughts.
fires speard rapidly because the fire fighters did not have any water to but them out
you should grammatically correct your question
a decrease in vegetation.
fires and wild fires
A lightning strike is a common cause of wild fires, which can happen anywhere.
wild fires, forest fires, ouse fires, cooking fires, etc.I'm pretty sure there are more.
no because fires only kill 10% out of 100% because they may spread but they want get to many animals and most animal will most likely run away from the fire
Well bush fires spread and spread if they aren't put out, and eventually reach homes that people are in.
More wild fires occur now because of the increased droughts.
no
Wild fires have occurred since the beginning of time, so there is really no good answer to this question.
Induces secondary growth from opportunistic species who have invaded that area or have had seed buried in the area waiting for the primary growth to me such a fate as wild fires.
yes call the fire department and hose down any surrounding fires that can hurt you
fires are a micture of heat and gas. they form when something hot hits the gas and the burst into flames
