What are the positive effects of bushfires?
the regrowth of the other vegetation.
What conditions can cause a bushfire?
There are several natural and man-made factors that can lead to bushfire conditions.Atmospheric conditions that cause lightning storms can result in bushfires. This is when a warm front meets a cold front. Statistics indicate that most bushfires are caused by lightning strikes.The intensity of bushfires is increased by dry vegetation, often after a period of heatwave, together with strong, gusting winds, and absence of precipitation. Droughts and prostrated heat are classic conditions for causing bushfires.A man-made condition that causes bushfires is sheer idiocy. Bushfires are, unfortunately, commonly caused by man's activities, whether arson or unintentionally lighting the fires such as by tossing cigarettes out of car windows, or not extinguishing campfires properly.High winds, coupled with dry air, can cause bushfires. Gusting winds cause faulty power lines to spark and arc, which easily ignites the vegetation into bushfires.
Where in the world are bushfires most likely to occur?
daily mainly arson and lightning strike fires
How do lightning strikes cause bushfires?
Lightning strikes are the main natural cause of bushfires in Australia (human activity is the main overall cause). Australia is a very dry continent with lower rainfall than other continents, particularly during the summer in southern areas. The country is drought-prone, with long, hot, dry summers in the southern states, and vegetation, as a result, becomes very dry, easily ignited and tinder for fires. When sudden storms roll in, as they often do with the clashing of warm and cold air fronts, not only are there lightning strikes which ignite the dry vegetation easily, but these small fires are quickly fanned into blazing bushfires by the strong, gusting winds that accompany these summer squalls.

How many bushfires have there been in Victoria?
There have been too many bushfires to number. Despite being in the south, Victoria is one of Australia's hottest and driest states in Summer, and because there is so much dense bushland and sloping mountainsides (which bushfires quickly ascend), bushfires are particularly common in January and February.
Why do eucalyptus trees require bushfires to reproduce?
The eucalyptus tree does not require bushfires to reproduce, but bushfires can aid reproduction. Intense heat tends to explode the seed pods thereby helping in reproduction process of the tree.
