Fire is a form of combustion... Combustion is a self-sustaining chemical reaction that yields energy or products that cause further reactions of the same kind. Fire is a rapid, self-sustaining oxidation process accompanied by the evolution of heat and light of varying intensities. Think of oxidation in relation to time... very slow (months) = rust, hours = self-heating (decomp), seconds = fire, micro-seconds = an explosion. That is about as good as I can explain it. I am a 13 year veteran of the fire department and teach "Fire Behavior" for my department's academy and that is how I explain it to my recruits.
combustion is when oxygen reacts with a substance 2 form energy with the side effects of light/heat/sound where as burning is when combustion takes place and a flame is formed so.. if there is no flame in oxygen reacting with a substance it's called combustion and burning is when oxygen reacts with oxygen 2 create energy and flame.
It's the same thing- they are synonyms, like expand and enlarge.
Water doesn't burn, fuel does
No fuel, no combustion.
Combustion -- but the reaction is between alcohol and oxygen -- fire is the process or the reaction itself.
it is much thicker and stronger but weakened by fire
Fire is the chemical reaction scientifically known as combustion. It is where a burning substance is reduced to carbon, carbon dioxide and other gases (smoke), and water. Magma is molten rock, that comes from underneath the Earth's crust. When it erupts from volcanoes it is called lava.
Booom Boom!
Fire is not invisible; fire is the chemical chain reaction from combustion that creates heat and light. Combustion, which is the actual burning process, is strictly chemical rearrangement and is invisible - but once you add oxygen to it, it becomes visible as fire.

What
fire
Physical changes are melting and boiling in this case; fire is a combustion, a chemical change.
The difference is that the kindle fire is thicker but has more chances than the nook.

No. That's hydrogenation. Combustion is the exothermic reaction between a one substance (usually an organic compound) and oxygen. Simply put combustion is fire.
