During a wildfire energy is released which is why fires are so hot and
bright. Ash is the form fuel takes after the fire is over.
Fires now only release heat but they are also caused by heat. A fire
can be caused by hot things such as burning match, a flash of lightning
or a lumber in a lying camp fire. A whole forest can be set a blaze by a
tiny flame no bigger than the flame from a match.
Many people think that all wildfires are enemies but that’s not true.
Wildfires are a fact in the wilderness and lots of plants need them.
Many trees are so dependent on wildfires that even wildfires are in
their life cycle.
Hi Eleanor,
ReplyDeleteI like how you point out a little-known fact, like how a lit match can set a whole forest ablaze. You also balance out your piece by showing that wildfires can be both a good thing and a bad thing. Good job!
You wrote very well about forest fires. Good work.
