Suffocation
Air contains Oxygen, which is a necessary ingredient for fire. Nitrogen forces Oxygen away, thus preventing fire. Lack of oxygen will also slow down other forms of oxidation, reducing the yellowing of the paper.
No. Oxygen itself is not flammable; it supports the combustion of flammable materials. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and a flammable material such as wood or gasoline. Things can burn on Earth because air is about 21% oxygen.
When something burns, it needs oxygen to stay alight. There is oxygen in the air, and that lets a flame keep burning. If you were to put a glass over a flame, a candle for example, the fire would go out once it had used all of the oxygen inside and turned it into carbon dioxide.
Oxygen because when something hits oxygen it tends to rust so therefore it changes it's color.
A fire is nothing but a very fast chemical reaction where oxygen (or another oxidizer) combines chemically with the fuel to form an ash. If there is no oxygen, the chemical reaction cannot happen, so there is no fire.
Fire needs oxygen from the air just like we do. When water gets poured on it, it suffocates and goes out.
The lungs are responsible for removing oxygen from the air we breathe and transferring it into the bloodstream for distribution to the body's cells. This process occurs through gas exchange in the alveoli, tiny air sacs within the lungs.
Part of air is made up of oxygen without which fire can't happen. Air can feed a fire; it contains oxygen.
Fire needs the oxygen in the air. Any other source of oxygen would also sustain fire.
It depends upon what kind of extinguisher it is. Water, for example, removes the heat from a fire by turning into steam and by removing available air/oxygen from the flames. Other extinguishers remove the oxygen from the fire or change the chemical reaction to stop the fire from converting the fuel to a flammable substance with the available heat.

An oxygen-fed fire is a fire that is fueled by an increased supply of oxygen, resulting in a more intense and faster-burning fire. It can be more difficult to control and extinguish due to the higher oxygen levels supporting combustion.
Oxygen is the gas needed to make fire. It supports the combustion process by reacting with the fuel to produce heat and light.
No, fire does not "breathe" air like animals do. Air is necessary for fire to burn because it contains the oxygen that fuels the combustion process. Without oxygen, fires cannot start or continue burning.
the reaction that makes fire is fueled by oxygen therefore as the fire burns the oxygen molecules are consumed
fire needs oxygen to burn, because fire is a chemical reaction that needs oxygen. the fire triangle is what fire needs to burn and is this- heat, fuel, and oxygen.
