These are ways a wildfire can spread.

After burning vegetation, soil is unable to absorb any water.  This creates stormwater runoff (rainfall that goes over the surface of the ground.)  ]]> 2020-11-17 19:31:36 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellah5320/kjjlidt2h64b45qc/wish/933600902 isabellah5320 https://padlet.com/isabellah5320/kjjlidt2h64b45qc/wish/933601315 Water from stormwater runoff can often act as transportation to harmful chemicals, numerous pollutants, and other damaging materials.  These materials can end up in bodies of water, and  can be disastrous to water ecosystems and contaminate drinking water for living things like humans and animals. This can result in living things getting sick.]]> 2020-11-17 19:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellah5320/kjjlidt2h64b45qc/wish/933601315 isabellah5320 https://padlet.com/isabellah5320/kjjlidt2h64b45qc/wish/938890900 Bad air quality can have many effects on the biosphere.  Over time, bad air quality can cause permanent damage to your lungs.  This makes you more susceptible to respiratory illnesses like bronchitis and pneumonia.  Animals breathing in bad air are also at risk of developing respiratory diseases.  ]]> 2020-11-18 21:06:09 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellah5320/kjjlidt2h64b45qc/wish/938890900 isabellah5320 https://padlet.com/isabellah5320/kjjlidt2h64b45qc/wish/938912437 Wildfires can burn humans, animals, and plants found in the biosphere.  Minor burns on humans can be easily treated, but more severe burns require you to go to the hospital to get treatment.  Many animals die from wildfires, as they either fail to escape or they die from their injuries caused by the fire. ]]> 2020-11-18 21:12:29 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellah5320/kjjlidt2h64b45qc/wish/938912437 isabellah5320 https://padlet.com/isabellah5320/kjjlidt2h64b45qc/wish/938952256 Ashes from wildfires can stimulate plant growth.  Ashes falling from the sky (gravity) are an excellent source of lime and potassium, and they can act as fertilizer for plants.  Ash will also act as pest repellent for things like snails and slugs.]]> 2020-11-18 21:25:18 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellah5320/kjjlidt2h64b45qc/wish/938952256
