What conditions will occur under a surface inversion during the
morning hours?
All of the above
Temperatures are cool, winds are calm or light
Fire activity is decreased
Pollutants can accumulate under inversions
What are the different lighting processes that can lead to
thunderstorm development?
Frontal, orographic, thermal, convergence
T/F Unstable air can often be found in low pressure systems and on
the leading edge of cold fronts.
True
T/F Unstable air can be formed by either heating the air near the
ground or by cooling the air aloft.
True
,A wind is caused by:
The direction the wind is blowing from.
A slope wind is caused by:
Warm air rising and cold air settling.
Foehn winds can adversely affect wild land fires because they can
produce:
Strong winds, warmer temperatures, and very low RH.
When stable air is forced over a mountain range, and then descends
the leeward slopes as dry, warmed air, it is called:
A foehn wind
T/F Bends in canyons are likely places for wind eddies to form.
True
Local winds are best defined as:
Small scale convective winds of local origin caused by differences
in heating and cooling.
, East, Mono, Santa Ana, and Chinook are all examples of:
Foehn winds
T/F Air flows clockwise around low pressure systems and
counterclockwise around high pressure systems.
False
Slope affects fuel availability to burn because:
Fuels are preheated upslope through radiation and convection.
Rolling firebrands ignite new fuels below.
Select the correct statement regarding the shape of the country
and it's effect on wild land fire behavior.
The shape of the country can influence the curing of fuels as well as
the intensity and spread of wild land fires.
