Wildfires mainly occur in very dry areas with lots of trees. The trees keep the fire going. Dry conditions also make it harder to contain since there's no moisture nearby to try and smother the fire with. High winds are also a factor and make it even more harder to try and contain the fire

Why does a wildfire occur on that place?

It can occur wherever there is dry vegetation or anywhere that can fuel the fire. Wildfires do not occur in the Sahara Desert or Saudi Arabian desert because there is little vegetation to fuel the fire and the sand is more likely to put out the fire since sand grains have pores that are so small they lack air. Fire also doesn't occur on snow because snow is made out of water that can put out the fire. Fires are more likely to not occur in rainforest or swamps because the vegetation is more wet where it can put out the fire. If the vegetation gets too dry or unhealthy it is more likely to cause a wildfire. Places where it is windy can cause the fire to spread more where it finds new areas to burn and this increases the wildfire. Areas that have experienced a drought are more likely to have a wildfire.


How do you reduce the amount of wildfire?

Fire needs fuel, carbon holmium, and heat. Ingredients are connected with chain reaction. Wildfires are natural disasters and this happens especially during low humidity. Every country park has a wildfire danger scale at the entrance. If the wildfire level is green, it's very unlikely that the wildfire will occur. If the wildfire level is blue, it's unlikely the wildfire will occur. If the wildfire level is yellow, it's equally likely the wildfire will occur. If the wildfire level is orange, it's likely the wildfire will occur. If the wildfire level is red, it's very likely the wildfire will occur. If the wildfire level is black, it's very very likely the wildfire will occur. We set a scale that green is low, blue is moderate, yellow is high, orange is very high, red is extreme and black is catastrophic. In Hong Kong, only green, yellow and red is being used. They are recorded in the Hong Kong Observatory. There are ways to prevent wildfires. 1.) Replant trees that is cut so that it'll absorb water and reducing the chance of wildfire level rising. 2.) Remove at least 1 ingredient that will cause fire to burn. For example, take away the fuel. 3.) Do something to decrease the global warming. 4.) Put out wildfires There are ways that naturally prevents wildfire. 1.) Increase of the humidity. 2.) More rain. 3.) Areas with less fire triangle. There are something that causes wildfire. 1.) Low humidity 2.) Increase of global warming 3.) Areas with more fire triangle. 4.) Leaving burned cigarettes on the ground. 5.) Dry Lightning strike 6.) Volcanic eruption nearby. Effect of wildfires. 1.) Habitat destroyed and animals will have difficulties finding food. 2.) With less forest and more pollution, the global warming will increase. Advantages of wildfires. 1.) It helps the forest to clear out old plants and let new plants grow, Disadvantages of wildfires. 1.) Wildfires destroy habitats and animals lose their houses. 2.) Wildfires can heat the forest about thousand degrees and it scares animals away. 3.) Wildfires can rise the greenhouse effect which leads to global warming. 4.) Wildfires destroy plants that some herbivores eat which upsets the balance of the food chain. 5.) Wildfires destroy houses nearby. 6.) Wildfires starts out of control. 7.) Wildfires stops campers to have camping.
