QUESTIONS AND CORRECT VERIFIED
ANSWERS|ALREADY GRADED A+
T/F Topography can directly and indirectly affect fuels and their availability for
combustion. - (answers)True
Of the three primary environmental factors that influence fire behavior, which
is the least variable? - (answers)Topography
The least critical form of heat transfer that influences rate of spread in a
running wild land fire is: - (answers)Conduction
The point to which a combustible material must be heated to produce self-
sustaining combustion is known as the: - (answers)Ignition temperature
Fireline intensity is dependent upon: - (answers)All of the above.
Fuel size
Fuel moisture
Fuel temperature
Fuel compactness and arrangement
T/F Two requirements for long range spotting are wind and a well developed
convection column. - (answers)True
A fire that advances through canopies of brush and trees is known as a: -
(answers)Crown fire
, 2
Fire is burning in litter on top of the ground, but occasionally carries into the
crowns of individual trees, which produces burning embers that start new fires
outside the fire perimeter. - (answers)Surface fire with torching and spotting.
Fire begins burning into the crowns and spreads through the canopy. There is a
sudden increase in fireline intensity where the fire controls it's environment. At
one point flames can be seen carried high into the convection column with a
whirling motion. - (answers)Ground fire with smoldering and flare ups.
T/F Upward moving air contracts and warms. - (answers)False
As air sinks, it. - (answers)Increases in pressure, warms and compresses.
Why do dry climates usually have lower nighttime temperatures than humid
climates? - (answers)Because there is less water vapor in the air to absorb and
reflect heat back to the surface at night.
T/F On average the RH doubles with each 20F decrease of temperature, or
halves with each 20F increase in temperature. - (answers)True
T/F The lowest RH occurs with the highest temperature. - (answers)True
T/F RH is usually lower on north aspects. - (answers)False
T/F Cloudiness has little affect on relative humidity and temperature. -
(answers)False
T/F The type of vegetation has little affect on temperature and humidity. -
(answers)False
