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

Recent fires blamed on negligence include the Camp Fire in California in 2018 caused by PG&E's equipment failure, and the Grenfell Tower fire in London in 2017 due to faulty building materials and poor safety oversight.

over 3 million!!!!!!!!!!! its very sad right!

The main causes of forest fires in Manitoba include lightning strikes, human activities such as campfires left unattended or improperly extinguished, and industrial activities like logging and heavy equipment use. Dry and windy weather conditions can also contribute to the spread of wildfires in the region.

It is difficult to provide an exact number as the data can vary from year to year and by region. However, thousands of people die worldwide each year due to forest fires, with some of the deadliest incidents occurring in countries like Australia, the United States, and Portugal.

The Ballyntynes fire was a tragic event where a fire broke out at Ballyntynes department store in 1979 in Dublin, Ireland. The fire claimed the lives of 48 people and left many others injured. It was one of the deadliest fires in Irish history and led to significant changes in fire safety regulations in Ireland.

Forest fires have numerous benefits for plants and animals because they increase diversity. In the process of forest succession, in which bare rock may be converted into mature forests over a long time, certain plants and animals are better adapted to exploiting certain circumstances along that continuum. In fact, there are certain plants and animals that require fires to survive and reproduce.

A mature forest requires plants to be shade tolerant, and food is actually quite scarce for most animals. An early successional forest benefits plants that require more sunlight to survive, and promotes the growth of plants that grow and spread quickly. As the forest regrows, its character changes and different plants and animals come and go to exploit the situation that suits them best. Without fires, if everything tended toward mature forest, many plants and animals would have a more difficult time surviving.

There is also a complicated web of nutrients that are recycled by way of a forest fire.

Forest fires can be caused by natural factors like lightning strikes, as well as human activities such as campfires, discarded cigarettes, arson, or machinery sparks. Drought, high temperatures, and strong winds can increase the likelihood of wildfires spreading quickly.

Forest fires occur in regions with dense vegetation, dry conditions, and high temperatures. These areas are often prone to wildfires due to factors such as lightning strikes, human activities, or accumulation of flammable materials. Forest fires can occur in various parts of the world, including North America, Australia, South America, and parts of Asia and Europe.

Small wildfires have numerous benefits. One is that a series of small fires over a long period of time prevents a devastating large wildfire from occurring. One of the reasons we have a lot of damaging large wildfires today is because for most of the last century, the school of thought was to immediately put out any forest fires. Suppressing natural fires for long can cause just one devastating fire to build up.

Wildfires convert old growth forests into newer growth. Old growth coniferous forests have a thick canopy and little sunlight reaches the forest floor. With little sunlight hitting the forest floor, not many plants can survive there. Consequently there is little food for animals to eat, and relatively few animals live in such an environment. A fire breaks down the canopy and allows the sunlight through, and new growth of numerous plants that could not survive in the shade grow in the sunny environment. Those plants attract animals that feed on them. New growth starts emerging within a couple days after a fire. A month after a fire in a place like a grassland, almost all organic material is new living biomass as opposed to detritus.

There are also plants that are adapted and even depend on periodic fires. This type of natural disturbance to an ecosystem is essential to the savanna and chaparral biomes. Some plants' seeds will only germinate after a hot fire, and fire-resistant roots will allow them to sprout quickly while using nutrients released during the fire. Fire-adapted plants can reach extinction with humans suppressing periodic fires, usually caused by lightning-- that is until an uncontrollable forest fire develops.

It is important to recognize that a forest fire does not consume the trees; the outside burns, but the dead wood is left standing there for sometimes decades. These dead trees provide excellent food source for certain insects (and the animals that eat them), and great habitat for small mammals and birds. Some animals actually favor freshly-burned areas. Black-backed woodpeckers only live in freshly burned stands of trees, for example.

trow your mom on it her fattness will put it out

don't listen to this and whoever wrote this is probley been reported a lots i have no answer to that but to put out a muck fire is u soak the ground before it happens and around it so if it startes it doesn't go anywhere i have looked this all up and so this is the correct answer

The largest forest fires in the world's _recorded_ history would be the 1997-98 Indonesian forest fires. though the fires after the hypothesised meteorite falling in the Mexico gulf probably released enough energy to start volcanoes and forest fires throughout all the continents.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_1997_Indonesian_forest_fires

the Indonesian fire burned on and off for 2 years. the biggest single fire was in Queensland, Australia. started on the 1/11/74 and burned throughout the Thargomindah, Bulloo Shire, Boulia Urandangie, McKinlay Shire. it burnt around 7,300,000ha.

There are several forests in Cumbria, including Whinlatter Forest, Grizedale Forest, and Ennerdale Forest. Each forest has unique features and offers opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking, cycling, and wildlife watching.

That depends on the size of the fire.

If it is in a fireplace or woodstove, there is a mechanism that rotates a cylinder (with slots and orange, yellow and red gels) around a lightbulb to produce the effect of contained flame.

If the fire is to be much larger, the same effect can be obtained by throwing this light across a longer distance. Of course the apparatus would need to be larger, if not physically, then in terms of wattage. Or two sets of gels, each cut to represent flames but different in shape from each other, could be placed side by side and rapidly and alternately lit, to achieve the appearance of fire. This works especially well if the gels are fanned to make them move and flicker.

There are many other ways to produce this affect. But, however it is produced, don't forget the smoke machine.

Smoke contains particles and chemicals that can directly irritate your eyes, causing them to become red, itchy, and watery. On the other hand, fog is simply a cloud of water droplets suspended in the air, which is generally harmless to your eyes.

The bullet cases soon explode like a pack of fire crackers. The lead shot may be shot out in all directions. The heat from the fire makes the gunpowder explode and the cartridge and the lead shot, will fire out in opposite directions with the ability to injure or even kill.

There are over 1 million lawyers in India. India graduates about 80,000 lawyers every year.

Fires can occur at any elevation depending on factors such as fuel availability, weather conditions, and ignition sources. However, the risk and behavior of fires may vary at higher elevations due to factors like reduced oxygen levels, colder temperatures, and different types of vegetation.

During the playHenry the Eighth a theatrical canon misfired causing the wooden beams and thatching to catch fire.
The theatre was set on fire after a cannon exploded to signal that queen elizabeth had arrived
it burnt downby some people protesting agaist theaters so they set it alight to get rid of it.

Land ownership in the colonies often determined one's social status and political power. Those with more land had more wealth and influence, and were typically seen as belonging to the elite class. Land ownership also gave colonists the opportunity to participate in local government and decision-making processes.

Yes, deciduous forests can flood, especially in low-lying areas or near rivers and streams. Periodic flooding can be beneficial to the ecosystem, as it can bring nutrient-rich sediment and help maintain soil moisture levels. However, excessive flooding can be damaging to the vegetation and wildlife in a deciduous forest.

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
