What is your Natural Disaster?

Wild Fires


Explain the cause of your Natural Disaster

Dry environment can cause lightning to ignite the savannah on fire


Describe the 3 most dangerous examples of your natural disaster? Include where they happened, when they happened, and what made it so bad.

A lot of major wildfires happen around the world, but I am going to talk about California for this one. Because the worst wildfires happen there in a short amount time between each one. These wildfires are so bad because the wild fires cover all of California in smoke and can destroy the rural houses of California and cost the government lots of money.

How does your natural disaster impact your biome? What are the positive and negative effects of the natural disaster?

Substantial greenhouse-gas emissions and forest loss from wildfires can impact the environment in making it even hotter and more dry. The positives from this is that soil can regain its nutrients but everything else is affected and a secondary ecological succession will take place.

How does your natural disaster impact your organism? What are the positive and negative effects on your organisms life?

The natural disasters can impact the livelihood and everyday living of my organism. There are no positives effects of wild fires impacting my organism. Negative effect is that my organism has to migrate, which is bad because he has to find new sources of food away from that area, and even though termites can survive wild fires in their fortresses. My organism can't survive the wild fires and need to find new habitats to live in.
