What else can I help you with?
A forest fire chemical or physical?
A forest fire is a chemical reaction because it involves the rapid oxidation of fuel materials in the presence of oxygen, releasing heat and light energy.
What does fire need to stay lit?
Fire needs three things to stay lit: fuel (such as wood or gas), heat (a heat source to ignite the fuel), and oxygen (to sustain the combustion process). If any of these elements is removed, the fire will extinguish.
What causes the second fire to go out?
The second fire may go out due to lack of fuel, oxygen, or heat. If any of these elements are removed or reduced, the fire will not be able to sustain itself and will extinguish.
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.
Can fire go away?
Fire can "go away" if it runs out of fuel, is extinguished by water or another fire retardant, or if the conditions necessary for it to exist, such as heat, oxygen, and fuel, are removed. The extinguishing method depends on the type of fire and its surroundings.
Which side of the fire triangle is removed by a firebreak?
A fire triangle consist of Fuel (Bushes), Heat (Fire) and Oxygen and the three combine creates a chemical chain reaction.In this case the fuel is removed so if there is nothing to burn you have no fire.
Why does forest fire occur even though in a cold place?
All fire needs to continue burning is oxygen and fuel
How does fire go out?
Fire goes out when one or more elements of the fire triangle (heat, fuel, oxygen) are removed. This can happen through extinguishing methods like smothering the fire to remove oxygen, cooling the flames to reduce heat, or removing the fuel source to starve the fire.
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.
Which component of a fire must be removed to extinguish the fire?
Cool the burning material, Exclude oxygen, Remove the fuel, Break the chemical reaction
Which components of a fire must be removed to extinguish a fire?
Cool the burning material, Exclude oxygen, Remove the fuel, Break the chemical reaction
What happens when you remove fuel and oxygen from fire?
If you remove fuel, oxygen, or both from a fire, the fire goes out.
How would you write a paper on a forest fire using the fire triangle?
The "fire triangle" (or fire tetrahedron) refers to the components of any fire, namely: fuel, heat and oxygen. Forests provide fuel, normal air has plenty of oxygen, and heat can come from lightning or from human carelessness, resulting in forest fires. Under the theory of fire components, if you remove one or more components, the fire will stop. In forest fires you can remove the fuel by "separating" it with a fireline, you can remove the heat by using water or fire retardant. When the wind blows, it adds fresh air (more oxygen) and stimulates the fire's intensity and adds to the convective spread of the fire embers.
A forest fire chemical or physical?
A forest fire is a chemical reaction because it involves the rapid oxidation of fuel materials in the presence of oxygen, releasing heat and light energy.
The key elements for a fire?
Fuel, Oxygen and Heat Fuel, Oxygen and Heat Fuel, Oxygen and Heat
If oxygen is removed from the fire triangle what is this called?
Removing oxygen from the fire triangle is referred to as "smothering" a fire. The fire triangle consists of heat, fuel, and oxygen, and eliminating any one of these elements can extinguish a fire. By depriving the fire of oxygen, it cannot sustain combustion, leading to its extinguishment. This method is commonly used in fire suppression techniques, such as using fire blankets or foam.
What does fire need to stay lit?
Fire needs three things to stay lit: fuel (such as wood or gas), heat (a heat source to ignite the fuel), and oxygen (to sustain the combustion process). If any of these elements is removed, the fire will extinguish.
