FOREST FIRE


this natural disasters is often occur in Indonesia. Especially in the Sumatra and Kalimantan. And can not be denied these forest fires have an enormous impact on the causes of global warming. And do not forget it's will cause huge losses in the fire area, especially in the economic and environmental health

There are 2 factors that cause forest fires occurred:
1. Due to human activities, such as opening of new land by cutting down trees in the wild forest trees and burn them to get their new land to be used to grow crops, and if the results of cultivation have been obtained then they will open up new land returned back by burning forest

2. because by nature itself,
a. Lightning strike on a dry forest because of the long dry season.
In the dry season there are many dry trees and in the event of a lightning strike the tree then the tree would be easier to burn.

b. Volcanic activity as affected by lava or pyroclastic flows from volcanic eruptions.


c. Fire ground fire in peat land areas that could ignite a fire on the ground during the dry season. These disasters often occur in Kalimantan dan Sumatra because most of the land there is a peat soil.
