Hi!! please revise my argumentative essay about fire prevention ! "Write an argument for or against the idea of using controlled

fires to protect wild areas. "
I believe that using controlled wild fires is a dangerous and destructive way of trying to protect wild areas, and here are my reasons why. First off, After the fire goes out, precipitation can cause the ash and soil from the event to begin washing downward triggering landslides, mudslides, and other forms of erosion, creating an unsafe environment for both people and wild life.



Secondly , forest fires under control can still cause other structures and surrounding areas to burn. For example, A 2000 fire set by U.S. Park Service officials at Bandelier National Monument in New Mexico raced through the community of Los Alamos to consume over 400 homes. I personally don't feel that setting a forest on fire just for it to cause major devastation is the right way to go about caring for a forest.



Third off, Forest fires are an extremely expensive experience, even when set for a positive reason. The estimated cost of the Camp Fire in 2018 was $16.5 billion, making it the most destructive wildfire in the history of the state. It was also the deadliest event of its type since the 1918 Cloquet fire in the U.S. and one of the worst fires ever suffered in world history. Over $4 billion in losses were uninsured. That outcome is only one cost to consider.



And lastly, Controlled forest fires can devastate the ecosystem. When forest fires go out of control, they have the potential to eradicate the forests ecosystem. This can adversely impact the animals, insects, soil, and water in the area. The water can possibly even become polluted from the smoke and ash, rendering it unsafe for marine life. and without those vital fish, there are fewer food options for the surrounding animals.



So all in all, I believe that though controlled wild fires may have some useful attributes, they are very dangerous and unpredictable, and I feel that they should find alternative solutions to protecting and caring for our forests and wild life.

Answer:

[{I believe that using controlled wildfires is a dangerous and destructive way of trying to protect wild areas. After the fire, precipitation can cause many forms of destruction, it can cause structures and areas around it to burn, it can totally destroy the ecosystem, and is an extremely expensive experiment.} ]

Note: You need to have an introduction paragraph, to tell the teacher  what you believe about controlled fires. State your reasons, but do it quickly. You'll expand on those reasons in the next paragraphs, which will give you a paragraph for each problem.

First off, after the fire goes out, precipitation can cause the ash and soil from the event to begin washing downward triggering landslides, mudslides, and other forms of erosion, creating an unsafe environment for both people and wildlife.

[{Another problem is that}] forest fires under control can still cause other structures and surrounding areas to burn. For example, a 2000 fire set by the U.S. Park Service officials at Bandelier National Monument in New Mexico raced through the community of Los Alamos to consume over 400 homes. Setting a forest on fire just for it to cause major devastation is not the right way to go about caring for a forest.

Note: It's fine to use first off, but don't do first of, second off, third off, etc. Change it up a bit.  

 

[{Also,}] controlled forest fires can devastate the ecosystem. When forest fires go out of control, they have the potential to eradicate the forest's ecosystem. This can adversely impact the animals, insects, soil, and water in the area. The water can possibly even become polluted from the smoke and ash, rendering it unsafe for marine life, and without those vital fish, there are fewer food options for the surrounding animals.

Note. Avoid the repetition.

[{Forest fires are [{also}] an extremely expensive experience, even when set for a positive reason. The estimated cost of the Camp Fire in 2018 was $16.5 billion, making it the most destructive wildfire in the history of the state. It was also the deadliest event of its type since the 1918 Cloquet fire in the U.S. and one of the worst fires ever suffered in world history. Over $4 billion in losses were uninsured. That outcome is only one cost to consider.}]

Note: I think it would be better to put the expense part last.

So all in all, I believe that though controlled wildfires may have some useful attributes, they are very dangerous and unpredictable. [{They can cause many different types of problems, start surrounding structures on fire, totally devastate the ecosystem, and cost a large amount of money.}] I feel that they should find alternative solutions to protecting and caring for our forests and wildlife.

Note: Restate the reasons.

Note: Since you didn't put any quotes in here, you don't need to do the resources. if you use any quotes, make sure to put quotation("") marks around it.

P.S. anything I added in I put in {these}, and I put [these] around things that I'm noting.

I hope this helps! Have a great day!

Read the sentence, and then answer the question.
mestny [16]

To solve this question, we can figure out what each of the words mean (specifically) and then put them into the blank and see which one fits best.


Burning is normally regarding a fire, one very hot and bright.


Sultry means that the air is hot and humid.


Blazing means burn fiercely or brightly.


Thermogenic means tending to produce heat, and it is commonly referring to drugs.


The best word that fits is sultry, so we know that the answer is B, sultry.
