Wind bears more oxygen that helps the fire not to burn out. Wind destroys small fire, but encourage big fire. The wind becomes the friend of fire that burns forests. The same wind causes destruction of fire on the form of a lighted wick.

What are the worst emitters of thermal radiation?

The worst emitters of thermal radiation are objects with high temperatures, such as hot metal surfaces or fires. These objects emit thermal radiation in the form of infrared light, which can be harmful to living organisms and cause burns or fires if not properly contained.

How fast does the wind need to spin to make a tornado?

There is no definite starting point. Officially an EF0 tornado starts at 65 mph, but some have been rated with winds as low as 55 mph. However it is not wind speed alone that qualifies a tornado. Fire whirls, or whirlwinds spawned by fires, have had winds over 100 mph but don't count as tornadoes because they are not associated with thunderstorms and usually do not connect to cloud base. Dust devils, which form on hot, sunny days can, on rare occasions, have winds equivalent to an EF0 tornado, but for the same reason as fire whirls are not considered tornadoes.


What are the different kinds winds?

There are several types of winds, including global winds like the trade winds and westerlies, regional winds like sea breezes and mountain winds, and local winds like katabatic winds and chinook winds. Each type of wind is driven by specific atmospheric and geographical conditions.


What is pevailing winds?

Prevailing winds are the dominant winds that blow consistently over a specific region. These winds are influenced by factors such as the rotation of the Earth, temperature differences, and the distribution of land and water. Prevailing winds play a crucial role in shaping a region's climate and weather patterns.

Why antarticans does not make fire to keep them warm?

Antarctica's inhabitants do make fires in their home fireplaces to keep them warm (if they have a fireplace in the home). However, if you are asking why fires are not created in the outdoors, it is because Antarctica is an extremely windy zone, and outdoor fires extinguish very quickly, to the point where it is almost a moot point. Additionally, in populous areas, fires are not sensible, as they spread to homes and other structures in a split second due to the high velocity winds.


What type of weather condition has to happen for a wildfire to occur?

Wildfires can happen in almost any weather. The worst weather is when there has been no rain, dry heat, and winds. This is a major concern due to the dryness of the area and with the winds how fast it can and will spread.

Why do the worst fires occur at oil refineries?

It may be an unsupportable assumption that the worst fires occur at oil refineries. Oil refinery fires are usually extinguished quickly and are usually well contained. It all depends how you define 'worst'. The most difficult to stop fires tend to be fires in forested lands. The most expensive fires tend to be large commercial buildings. Fires with the highest human death rates tend to be in dense informal urban settlements - so called slums. The most polluting fires tend to be associated with gas flares and well fires in oilfields.


Bush fires can they cause their own weather and what weather can they make?

Yes, bush fires can cause their own weather phenomenon known as pyrocumulonimbus clouds. These clouds can result in lightning, strong winds, and even small-scale tornadoes, which can further spread the fire and create dangerous conditions for firefighting efforts.


What is the Most explosive and violent type of wildfire?

The most explosive and violent fires are wind driven fires. This usually occurs when there are sun downer winds that are driving the fire violently out of control.


How do high winds contribute to bush fires?

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.
