Super hot toxic clouds of gas and debris
What is Pyroclastic Flow?
Winds are deflected either to the right or left
What is Coriolis Effect?
Known as millennial cycles, it explains Earth's natural climate shifts but on timescales
What is Milankovitch Cycles?
Depends on vegetation, tophography, and weather
What is Spread Potentials of Wildfire?
Small Rocks Traveling Through Space
What is Meteroids?
A significant, long-term decrease in Earth's average surface temperatures, usually leading to ice ages or periods of widespread glaciation
What is Global Cooling?
Tropical cyclone, an organization of a large massive single, rotating storm system
What is Hurricane?
Any small liquid or solid particles suspended in the atmosphere that block sunlight, causing cooling
What is Aerosols?
Preignition, Combustion, and Smoldering
What is Phases of Wildfire?
Dirty iceballs as old as the solar system itself
What is Comets?
A common scale for expressing the size of an explosive volcanic eruption
What is VEI Scale?
Can spawn hundred of tornadoes over the course of a few days
What is Superoutbreaks?
Shows the temperatures and CO2 concentrations are always closely correlated
What is Ice Cones?
Ground fires, surface fires, and crown fires
What is Types of Fires?
Small pieces of space rock that survive passage through the atmosphere to be picked up by the surface
What is Meterorites?
Hot, buoyant mantle plumes rise from the core/mantle boundary
What is Hot Spot Volcanism?
Rates tornado strength based on the damage, which is used to estimate wind speed
What is the Enhanced Fujita Scale (2026)?
Works by converting visible light to heat and trapping it
What is Greenhouse Effect?
Shifted the policy of fighting fires from suppression to mitigation and management
What is Fire Prevention Strategies?
Small rocks from space that light up in the night sky as they burn up the Earth's atmosphere
What is Meteors?
A hidden super volcano
What is Yellowstone?
Pushes into warm moist air, resulting in a large thunderstorm system
What is Cold Dry Front?
When water cools, it becomes saltier due to sea ice formation at the ocean surface which increases the water density and causes it to sink
What is Ocean Conveyor Belt?
Radiation, Convection, and Conduction
What is Heat Transferred?
Large rocks that range in size from meters to a thousand kilometers
What is Asteroids?
