These global wind systems, in turn, drive the oceans' surface currents. Unequal heating of the Earth's surface also forms large global wind patterns. In area near the equator, the sun is almost directly overhead for most of the year. Warm air rises at the equator and moves toward the poles ((from google))
A forest fire would burn large trees, fertilizing the soil and makes room for smaller plants to grow, which provides more food for herbivores. The lack of trees also makes it easier for carnivores to hunt prey. Good luck in high school!
