Natural Fires

When we speak of bouffant scale fires, we a good deal associate it with destructive powerfulnesss that could burn properties and structures down to ashes or commit many a(prenominal) lives. What we dont realize is that large-scale fires have existed way keystone in the history of our planet, and that these fires are considered as natural occurrences. It is just our cognition that lead us to our conceived meaning of fire, but truly, there are much benefits in it rather than the destruction if brings. Nature utilizes these large-scale fires for non-homogeneous reasons, both destructive and beneficial.We often think of fire as an evil force that consumes both living and non-living things in the surround. But besides this, we are negligent to the fact that these fires are agents of natural change. These fires are considered as herbivores, because they consume plants and render them to a more useful material (Bond and Kee). Most plants however, are unpalatable or just difficult to consume, like towering trees and the like. In localise to put this into good use, fires act as herbivores that would devour an entire timberland of inedible trees. They are consumed in order to transform the ecosystems into better ones, which the various creatures of our environment could live into (Pyne).No matter how man intervenes with the way the environment works, nature would always find its way with things. This is true for the occurrence of these large scale fires. Man has struggled and was somehow successful in suppressing these fires from devouring trees and early(a) vegetations. Because of this, nature has somehow managed to adapt by increasing the temperature of the environment late (Westerling et al.). Because of this increase in temperature, the trees in the forests become more susceptible to these fires. They tardily get burned with just a little nudge, like a lit cigarette thrown into the woods, or a boy playing with some matchsticks.Works CitedBond, Willia m J., and Jon E. Kee.
