Answer: For every 10˚ slope, the fire will double its speed. For example, if a fire is travelling at 5 km per hour along flat ground and it hits a 10˚ slope it will double in speed to 10 km per hour up the hill.

By increasing in speed the fire also increases in intensity, becoming even hotter.

The opposite applies to a fire travelling downhill. The flames reach less fuel, and less radiant heat pre-heats the fuel in front of the fire. For every 10˚ of downhill slope, the fire will halve its speed.

Fires tend to move more slowly as the slope decreases.

Vegetation (fuel)

Grass can burn early and quickly on hot, dry, windy days.  

Branches, twigs and leaves dropped from shrubs and trees become fine fuels, which burn easily. These can give off far more heat when they burn

Fibrous and dry tree bark can carry fire to treetops. The fire can then break away and spread further

Dry branches, twigs and leaves and other fine fuels found on the ground can also burn easily.

Weather conditions

Bushfires are unpredictable and vary greatly according to weather conditions. They often start on hot, dry, windy days.

Temperature

A string of hot days dries out vegetation, making it easier to burn. This can be made even worse by underlying dry conditions caused by lack of rain.  

The drier the vegetation the easier it will burn.

A fire spreads as a result of burning embers, radiant heat and direct flame contact.

Wind

Wind influences the:

speed at which a fire spreads

direction in which a fire travels and the size of the fire front

intensity of a fire – wind provides more oxygen

likelihood of spotting – burning pieces of leaves, twigs and bark (embers) that the wind carries ahead of the fire. These cause new 'spot fires' to ignite.

Wind change

A change in wind direction is one of the most dangerous influences on fire behavior. Many people who die in bushfires get caught during or after a wind change.

In Victoria, hot, dry winds typically come from the north and northwest and are often followed by a southwest wind change. In this situation the side of the fire can quickly become a much larger fire front.

Tell me something about how you celebrated your last birthday
Lera25 [3.4K]
I celebrated my last birthday just like an ordinary day. Usually I don't go on the thought of celebrating special days, but only when there are certain people involve. Celebrations, on my perspective, become nice and warm when people are celebrating it with the celebrant. These people aren't just ordinary people but people with whom you have shared experiences with and most especially, people that you treat as important, special, and close to your heart. As I celebrated my last birthday, it wasn't that much.

A story which ends with the statement:better late than never
FrozenT [24]

The above question wants to assess your writing ability and your imagination, for that reason I can't answer it for you, but I'll show you how to answer it.

First, you need to keep in mind that your story must end with the sentence "better late than never." This means that you should think of a story where something very important and expected by the characters took a while to happen, but it happened after a long wait.

After that, you should write your story in three parts, according to the following steps:

  • Start: Introduce the characters and setting where the story takes place.

  • Middle: Present the character's goals and desires and develop interactions between that character and others, as well as interactions with the setting. It's important that in this part of the story, you show what element this character is hoping to happen.

  • Final: Show how agonizing this wait is for the character, but how rewarding it is on the day that element finally happens. Show how happy and relieved the character feels.
