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. Be careful not to burn yourself!
uphill, for an experiment look for "Do forest fires move faster uphill or down hill
A muck fire burns under the ground and is stirred up by lightning. THey cannot be put out, you cant see them, and they are not destructive. Forest fires take place in forests, and they burn down trees.
No. You risk causing a forest fire and being arrested.
the plants would be effected because #1 there burned or#2 they are dying from the loss of shade from the trees being burned. some plants adapt to fires and become immune or they have natural oils that prevent the fire
Small plants grow but are eventually replaced by larger plants.
It affects the geosphere by burning trees. Trees can do a lot for us, e.g.,they give us paper, wood, etc. After all, it is a forest fire. Just like Smokey the Bear says," Only you can prevent wildfires."
Forest fires are measured by the number of acres in which forest fuels were burned, whether it was underbrush or entire trees.
Other effects that are measured include: number of structures burned, number of people evacuated, number of livestock killed or injured, and so forth.
Scientists also compare fires according to the intensity of the fire, as a factor in predicting reforestation.
Bushfires occur through a number of factors:
Firefighters use a variety of tools to extinguish wildfires, including planes and helicopters that drop a mixture of chemicals and water on the fire. They also use a Pulaski to dig a fireline, smoke jumpers, and hotshots.
Tribal, forest dwellers, aborigines, bush people, indigenous people, rainforest people. (depending on the location)
Forest fires have many effects on people, both direct and indirect. Usually, when forest fires spread they threaten to spread to nearby towns, which can burn them down. Fires also give off a lot of carbon monoxide, which can later cause acid rain. Forest fires also destroy animal's natural habitats, which kills animals and disrupts the food chain, which may later have an effect on people. Forest fires also can destroy tree farms, which are valuable sources of lumber and paper for people. Lastly, forest fires destroy the beautiful natural wilderness, so later no people can enjoy the beauty of nature! :'(
Many places. Some places that they occur are Canada, virgina and Florida!
Yellowstone state park is also a place were there is alot of frequent forest fires.
its a natural course of recycling nutrients into the soil. slash and burn is bad because they overdue it for farming, but say there was a natural fire in some forest caused by lightning... i wouldn't say its very beneficial but its not a bad thing because the trees and plants there will turn into nutrient rich ash which would be absorbed by the soil and new trees and plants would grow in their places. so it could be considered helpful to promote new life of the plants and what not but think about what it would do to all the animals inhabiting that area =X

thee must have been a lot because a lot of people throw their cigarettes in the forest and a lot of people camp
with a burning fire to keep them warm but the can get out of control
As wood is heated it first gives up its moisture. After the water boils off and its temperature is increased to 450°F. the wood particles begin evolving volatiles. Thereafter the volatiles and fixed carbon mix with oxygen and burn separately. All of the visible flames in wood fire are from combustion of the volatiles.
*****************************
It depends on the type of wood.
There is a South American hardwood (Brazilian Walnut) which is so dense, it has the same fire rating as concrete!
Parts of the beachfront boardwalk in Atlantic City has been renovated using this wood.
In 2007, a fire started under the boardwalk and tore through nearby buildings. The sections of the boardwalk with Brazilian Walnut, were left unscathed.
Fire goes faster up hill for two reasons, first because the angle of the hill provides fuel to the fire at a faster rate, second because heat rises the fuel for the fire is pre-heated causing it to become more flammable.
There are about 30 - 50 or more fires a year, including bushfires . ---- This figure does not include the innumerable bushfires that occur in Australia every summer. Many years they are just spot fires that may burn hectares of land but cause little other damage. Some years, a large number of bushfires come together to cause immense devastation in Victoria, New South Wales or South Australia.
sorry i dont have alot of time but i have 2 answers:
1. the comunity helps clean up.
2. if something belonging to the comunity is burn or something else has happen ther in money for that.
Smog is a result of a combination of photochemical reactions which involve:
1. Ground-Level Ozone (made from VOCs)
2. Nitrogen oxides.
3. Peroxyacytyl Nitrate (a dangerous gas).
4. Dirt and matter (stuff that "clogs" the air: dust and burnt matter (smoke))
Smog is linked to heavy traffic, high temperatures, and little wind, NOT CO2, a common misconception.
In Australia, forest fires are called bushfires. According to the Australian Government's website, and backed by data from the Australian Institute of Criminology, there are roughly 52,000 bushfires every year. Actual figures may vary from 46,000 to 62,000 per year.
There are two main causes of forest fires. Firstly is human carelessness as people fail to extinguish camp fires properly or are careless with matches and cigarettes. The second cause is often due to lightning strikes in forested areas.
