It is lightning that is the weather's primary contribution to starting wildfires. (Wind fans them after they get going.)

How is weather change responsible for natural disasters?

Droughts and floods are typically caused by changes in precipitation. Tornadoes are caused by colliding pressure systems (more complicated than that). Hail is caused by updrafts. Not all natural disasters are caused by weather (ex. volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis are caused by tectonics). Global weather change (climate change) shifts weather patterns from their 'normal' positions meaning that many biomes are significantly altered.


Are wildfires usually caused by people or nature?

Wildfires can be caused by both people and nature. Human activities such as campfires, arson, and equipment use can lead to wildfires, while lightning strikes and spontaneous combustion in dry vegetation are examples of natural causes.

How do wildfires caused by humans impact the environment and communities?

Wildfires caused by humans have significant impacts on the environment and communities. They can lead to loss of wildlife habitat, destruction of vegetation, air pollution, and soil erosion. In communities, wildfires can cause property damage, displacement of residents, and health issues from smoke and ash. Overall, human-caused wildfires have far-reaching consequences on both the environment and the people living in affected areas.
