Forest fires are natural disaster that is mostly generated by rare phenomena, such as volcanic eruption or an earthquake, that occur in very specific geographic areas. However, natural causes are becoming less common, and human activities are taking their place. These human activities such as throwing away cigarette butts, and burning garbage are responsible for causing fires. The fires also cause a rise in the temperature of the earth, which causes climate change, and that risen temperature evaporates moisture from the ground, drys out the soil, and allows vegetation to be more flammable.
