Why do you put heat oxygen and fuel together in a fire triangle?

IF either of the 3 is missing, the fire will can not continue to burn.
The triangle illustrates the rule that in order to ignite and burn, a fire requires three elements: heat, fuel, and an oxidizing agent (usually oxygen). The fire is prevented or extinguished by removing any one of them. A fire naturally occurs when the elements are combined in the right mixture.
Throwing water on the fire removes the heat.
Throwing a blanket or using a carbon dioxide extinguisher removes the oxygen.
In the case of a wood fire, removing pieces of wood ( spreading out the wood) removes the fuel

Why cant you set a fire to the Moon's surface?
there is no oxygen on the moon, therefore, a fire could not start because in the fire triangle, (the materials needed to start a fire) the fire needs oxygen, which the moon does not have, fuel, and heat.
When charcoal burns does it react with the oxygen in the air?
Yes, it does, as does everything that burns, as oxygen is one part of the "Fire Triangle", which is the three things anything needs to burn. The other two components of this triangle are: Fuel and Heat.
What 2 elements can produce a common substance that could extinguish fires when chemically combined?
The removal of air (oxygen), which breaks the chemistry of fire, will put it out. The cooling of a fire or the removal of fuel, either of which stop the fire, will use physics to suppress it. For most fires, we can apply the principle of the fire triangle. This includes air (oxygen), heat and fuel at the corners (vertices) of the triangle. Remove one and the triangle falls apart, and this idea is used to attack and suppress fires.
What is needed for fire to burn?
In order for fire to burn, there is someting called the fire tetrahedron. The things needed for fire to burn are as listed: Heat, Oxygen, Fuel(of any sort), and a Chmeical Reaction with all of the above. I learned this from the multiple firefighting classes i have taken.
What is the gas in the air that is needed for burning to occur?
Well there are three fundamentals for combustion. These form the FIRE TRIANGLE. FUEL OXYGEN IGNITION Without any one of these fire will cease to exist... ...But if you want to accelerate the speed of combustion, you can add more combustible fuel.
What are the three points of a fire triangle?
The three elements of the fire triangle that must be present are Heat, Oxygen, and Fuel. This has recently been changed though from the fire triangle to the fire tetrahedron. This includes Heat, Oxygen, and Fuel as well. But, it also contains a fourth, chemical reaction.
Why does oxygen not burn but help in burning?
Three things are needed for fire to burn, often referred to as the triangle of fire. Oxygen, heat and fuel, it is only the fuel that burns, the oxygen and heat together cause the fuel to burn.
The 3 words in a fire triangle?
heat oxygen fuel heat oxygen fuel
What are the parts of a fire triangle?
oxygen, heat, and fuel
How does fire?
Fire burns with the fire triangle. Heat, oxygen, and fuel (wood or gasoline).
What are the three components of fire triangle?
oxygen heat fuel
What are three points of the fire triangle?
fuel, oxygen, and heat.
What are the 3 elements of the fire triangle?
Heat, fuel, and oxygen.
What is needed to produce fire?
There is what is known as a "fire/combustion" triangle, which has the three components necessary for fire: oxygen, fuel, heat
What helps start fire?
It is part of the fire triangle. The three things you need are: Heat, Oxygen and Fuel. if you took away one of theese things then a fire would not create.
How does fire burns?
Fire burns with the fire triangle. Heat, oxygen, and fuel (wood or gasoline).
What is the missing triangle of fire Oxygen fuel and?
Oxygen, Fuel, and Heat _says my 8th grader from his science book
