Slide 1

    To justify the causes of wildfires
    A Quasi Natural Hazard -A Natural Hazard where ignition can be caused by both Natural Actions as well as Human Activities

Slide 2

    NATURAL ACTIVITIES Storms Volcanic Eruptions Hot Temperatures Spontaneous Combustion Dry Land (Drought)
        HUMAN ACTIVITIES Campfires Cigarettes Naked Flames Sparks Farming (eg. burning of trees)

Slide 3

    I think that the largest cause of wildfires is Natural Activities. I think this because in Australia, the weather is very warm and combined with the droughts and the amount of dry land, wildfires are much more common. However, I do think that humans play a large role in wildfires by lighting illegal fires and not putting out their cigarettes and naked flames.
