Humidity has an important impact on forest fires in two major ways. First, long periods of low humidity tend to dry out all forest fuels to a dangerous degree. Even a few days of low humidity can increase the risks of grass and brush fires.
During fire suppression, the daily cycle of humidity can cause fires to burn with more intensity during the heat of the day and "lay down" when the humidity is higher (usually at night, or during precipitation). Humidity changes the ignition point of small and light fuels, slowing down the spread of fire.

Are forest fires in the US common?
Forest fires can happen anywhere
Do forest fires happen in the day or a night?
Forest fires can happen at any time, but they are more likely to start during the day when temperatures are higher, humidity is lower, and sunlight can ignite dry vegetation. However, fires can also continue to burn and spread at night if there is enough fuel to sustain them.
When was Oh No Forest Fires created?
Oh No Forest Fires was created in 2007.
Do forest fires affect the o zone layer?
Forest fires can release large amounts of greenhouse gases and aerosols into the atmosphere, which can contribute to climate change. However, the direct impact of forest fires on the ozone layer is minimal compared to other factors like industrial pollutants and chemical reactions involving human-made chemicals like CFCs.
When do forest fires happen?
When a fire is out of control in a forest.
Would a forest fire affect the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Forest fires increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

How do man made fires effect the forest?
They don't affect forests much at all if they are made safely and responsibly and according to local rules and laws. When set fires get out of hand, they can cause the destruction of large areas of forest.
What would decrease population density fewer prediators or forest fires?
forest fires
What important factors does humidity contribute to weather?
When humidity goes down, you want to avoid putting on Fires. The lower the humidity, the larger the chance of a forest fire starting! Until the humidity goes back up, you shouldn't start a fire anywhere. Yes, fire danger is a type of weather as well.
What is endangering the forest?

What are the top states where forest fires occur?
Texas had over 50 forest fires in 2010
How do forest fires get there names?
from fires in the forests! lol
How does oxygen affect forest fires?
Oxygen is a crucial component for the combustion process that fuels forest fires. The presence of oxygen allows the fire to spread and burn more intensely. Higher oxygen levels can lead to more rapid fire growth and increased severity of a forest fire.
