Because fire does not burn down, it burns up and it therefore catches things above it on fire and it spreads that way. Also the wind current aids in it's spread.

What runs up hill faster than down hill?

A snowball. When rolling downhill, a snowball accumulates more snow and gathers momentum, making it faster than when it's rolling uphill.


Why does a bus going uphill travel more-slowly than going?

A bus going uphill must overcome the force of gravity pulling it back down, which requires more energy and makes it move more slowly. Going downhill, the bus benefits from gravity assisting its motion, allowing it to travel faster.


Do snails travel faster uphill or downhill?

Honestly I don't have any facts to back this up. but I believe that snails travel faster downhill due to the fact that gravity is assisting them. Considering the method of which they travel ( by sliding over slime ) I would think you could move faster downhill as you would not have to push against gravity to move up.


Do forest fires move faster downhill or uphill?

Fires move fastest uphill because heat rises. Experiment: Light a match and hold it with the tip up and time how long it takes the flame to move halfway down the matchstick. Then light another match, hold it tip down and time how long it takes the flame to move halfway up the stick.

Does wind travel faster downhill?

No, wind speed is influenced by pressure gradients, temperature differences, and obstacles in its path, not by whether it is traveling uphill or downhill. Winds tend to speed up over ridges and mountain passes due to channeling effects, but the slope itself does not directly cause the wind to travel faster.
