Wind<span> abrades rock by sandblasting, this is the process in which wind causes the blowing off millions of grains of sand, which bumps across the surface of rocks' surface. it can also happen due to deflation, which is when wind removes the top layer of fine sediment/soil to cause desert pavement. 
</span>Glaciers, however, abrade rock by simply using Gravity. when enough ice builds up on a slope, the ice begins to move downhill. The steeper the slope, the faster the glacier. As glaciers move forward, the material that they picked up scratch and abrade the rock and soil underneath the glacier, which causes erosion<span>.</span>

Vladimir79 [104]

The correct answer is Yes

He was negligent because he didn't care what might happen.

Forest fires can spread dramatically, burning large numbers of trees in just minutes.

<u>Burning</u> is a chemical reaction that needs three things to happen: material to burn, called fuel, oxygen supply and a source of heat to ignite, or ignite, the fuel.

A forest fire uses trees for fuel and oxygen from the air.

The heat needed to set trees on fire can come from lightning or a cigarette butt.

But once established, the fire itself produces the heat necessary to burn more trees.

The heat and light released during the fire comes from the energy stored in the trees.

Chemical reactions that release energy are known as exothermic reactions.
