In Pokemon diamond how do you get out of a fire trap with winDS pro?

Fire Traps are usually escaped by blowing into the little microphone set into the DS, usually just a small rectangle hole with the letters "MIC." next to it. It registers at the sound and makes it disappear. If you can't find it, try blowing at different points on your DS or simply yelling at the DS. Although it sounds stupid in writing its how it works.

Why does a flame grow bigger when you blow gently onto it but when a fire burns it feeds on oxygen?

Blowing on a fire does two contradictory things. First, it provides more oxygen which causes the fire to burn hotter, and secondly, it cools off whatever is burning, causing the fire to die back.


Why is it that when you blow a candle its light goes off but when you blow a fire its light come on?

Oxygen feeds fire, but for a candle, it is too small to withstand the pressure of a good blow, and the fire is easily blown out in the wick, where the core of the fire is. In a bigger fire though, like a campfire, it is too big for a human to blow it out, and so the oxygen feeds it, and makes it glow brighter temporarily.

Why does a flame get bigger when you blow it?

because oxygen fuels fire. Oxygen is highly flammable, carbon-dioxide is a fire suppressant. so when you blow gently on a flame or low burning camp fire your feeding the fire. but if you where doing something like blowing out a candle, theres so much force in your breath as its being exhailed that the flame dispurses.
