Wildfires

ONE #11.4, 95% of California’s wildfires are caused by human actions. The interaction between humans and wildfires across all of California demonstrate the need to understand the relationship between them, mostly in the face of a changing climate and expanding human communities. People in California have built in areas of natural vegetation know as the Wildlife-Urban Interface,(WUI), much of which the area is known to be fire prone. This means that most of the wildfires are made by humans, and…

resident and they state “... homeowners are being invaded by mice and field rats which are thriving in the burned-out areas recovering from the wildfires … because there are very few predators. And with the regrowth of vegetation, the rats and mice have an ample food source and are reproducing quickly.” This quote shows the cause and effect of the wildfire. How its aftermath could be the future of many areas due to dry land, prone to fires. Thus causing the rat population to escalate…

Increased groundwater use is reflected in declining groundwater levels; in groundwater basins not experiencing overdraft, a pattern of water level drawdown during dry conditions and recovery during wet conditions is typically seen. groundwater level decline in overdrafted basins is typically exacerbated by drought.( Drought and Groundwater). It is great to see that California’s weather finally decided to help with the dryness from drought; the increase of rain and surprisingly incline of snow…

Aaron Cooke Mrs.Gallos English 3 21 November 2017 Deforestation The definition of deforestation means the cutting down of trees. Several business rely on deforestation for money to pay for themselves. All things on earth rely on trees because without trees we would not have paper, we would have difficulty breathing because they purify the air and keep the air clean, there would be no homes for animals, and the soil would not hold together as well so flooding would be more prevalent during…

of the water. Additionally, the drought and higher temperatures cause the land to become dryer which increase the chance of a natural disaster. As a result of dryer land wildfires are becoming more common. The heat and the drought create a perfect condition for wildfires. There have been a thirty-six percent increase in wildfires in 5 years. The drought and the heat have created many natural disasters in…

the fires. After the plants started to die, a wind called the Santa Ana winds begun blowing hot, dry air from the Great basin that initiated the wildfires. These winds are typically generated due to the great high-pressure system that emerges above the mountains and then blowing winds into California. There were several locations in which the wildfires began to spread including north of San Diego, north west of Los Angeles and…

It also explains that it affect various other things. Even though this happens as a part of global warming, it itself have some of its own effects. It kills some fish, it creates floods, mudslides in California, Hurricanes in Mexico, ice storms in New England, Tornadoes in the south, droughts in Asia, and forest fires in sumatra as well (Tennesen 114). It has all sorts of impacts to it. It is understandable how dangerous it is. The effects are throughout the world. All of the effects have caused…

global warming might be the greatest threat which takes into account for disrupting the BC forest system. Since the process of climate change worsen the natural disturbances to forests and put them in a more extreme level, such as the rapid increasing wildfire, insect outbreaks and drought. First of all, global warming is…

myself. There was so much that I didn’t understand. What dangerous nonsense? What do they know that I don’t? Why doesn’t uncle Vernon trust me? I punched my bed in frustration as what was once a small spark of frustration grew into a raging wildfire. The Dursleys are so unfair!…

Yellowstone is America’s first National park. Located in the state of Wyoming, Yellowstone National Park draws millions of visitors every year. Yellowstone park includes over three thousand square miles of lakes, canyons, rivers, and mountains. The National park is bigger than Rhode Island and Delaware combined. All though Yellowstone is considered to be located in Wyoming the park actually stretches across three states. Ninety six percent of Yellowstone is in Wyoming but the other three…
