Yes, muck fires can become very dangerous. The fires can burn underground which will make trees unstable. The fires can also burn for weeks.
Muck fires typically result in zero to few deaths directly attributed to the fires themselves. However, the smoke produced by muck fires can contribute to health problems and respiratory issues in individuals living nearby.
Muck fires can be stopped by smothering the fire with soil or sand to deprive it of oxygen. Using water can also help to cool down the embers and halt the spread of the fire. It is important to monitor the area for any reignition of the fire and ensure it is fully extinguished.
I think the phrase 'high winds' refers to the speed of the wind rather then how high up it is. This being the case in just the same way as you would blow on some embers to make them glow and burst into flame, a high wind will fan the flames of a bush fire, providing it with more oxygen and carrying sparks forward to set new fires ahead of the fire front.
It depends on your definition of "dangerous". You mean to the health of those who extract it? To those who handle it during transformation into finished products? To the environment? Some of the most dangerous in all three terms include gold and silver, which are extracted using cyanide, a very toxic poison. Other resources which are dangerous on their own right include asbestos, uranium and cobalt. Oil and natural gas are also dangerous, as both are highly flammable and spills are expensive to cleanup while being pretty harmful to the environment.
Bushfires occur in climates that are dry and hot (such as California in the summer). Occasional strong winds and summertime cold fronts can lead to extreme fir danger. Dangerous areas also include large areas of dry grass and trees, which burn easily and are common in the summer. Several environmental and geographical factors help bush fires progress: * High winds provide more oxygen * Amount of fuel (trees, grass, etc.) * Low humidity * High air temperature * Terrain (fires spread faster up sides of hills) You should try to add to this. By this I mean explain each point in detail. Just a tip for you.
No, muck fires can start anywhere there is muck. That's why they're called MUCK fires, not Florida fires.
Yes, muck fires can be dangerous due to the presence of toxic gases, smoke, and potential for fires to spread quickly. They can also release harmful air pollutants and pose health risks to nearby communities. Additionally, muck fires can be challenging to extinguish due to the deep-seated nature of the burning material.
muck fires last for weeks and weeks
lightning causes muck fires :)

Muck fires are so intense that they even burn the dirt. They stay lit until they hit water.
Muck fires start when lightning hits the soil and burns for weeks unless water comes in and puts it out.
you cannot fight it
No they can't be put out
