Forest/Wildfires
Camden and Antonio
What is a forest/wildfire?
A forest/wildfire is a fire that is out of control. It can be caused by arson, lightning, volcanoes, and human carelessness. Most ecoregions of TX have experienced wildfires. It burns down trees and plants then those can be taken away by wind.
Awful or Helpful?
A fire can kill things, such as people, plants, animals, and insects, it can also destroy some houses and habitats. However it also restores nutrients to the soil, lots of farmers with a lot of land use "controlled fires" to restore the nutrients to the soil.
