Forest Fires and Their Effects on the Environment

 Forest Fires

Jessica Bailey - October 6, 2021

Wildfire - Wikipedia

   Forest fires have always been a part of nature, except recently they have been happening at a much faster rate and have become more dangerous and deadly. Before, they have been a key role for renewing and changing ecosystems for the better. Recently though, the fires have been happening more often and have become more of an issue. The fires can be deadly by destroying homes, trees, and they pollute the air with toxins that are harmful to humans and other animals. Wildfire smoke is a big concern for the public health, especially in the western United States. Wind and weather have big effects on start ion the fire, behaviour and putting out of the fire.

    Forest fires are something I have always read about since grade school. It's terrible how they are getting worse and destroying peoples homes. I couldn't imagine inhaling the smoke and the health effects of them.

    I liked your blog, learning about wildfires is something I've always liked. It's crazy how fast they have been progressing and spreading in some places. It's sad how they can destroy people and animals lives so easily.

    This was very informative. I knew that fires were not just destroying homes but also a concern for people's health. It is a big concern for people in the western coast but also a concern for people who live in the midwest and maybe even the east coast for the health. My family has been having health problems with allergies because of the fires.

    That image is really scary to watch, I cant imageine what the animals and people that live around would be going through. Wildfires are increasing every year, and they hurt the planet so much, destroying ecosystems and contributing to pollution

    I liked your blog. Forest fires blow my mind, and I find it crazy how fast they can spread and become severely dangerous. I also liked the picture you used for your blog. The picture you picked shows just how huge forest fires can really get, and I can imagine that they can get even bigger than that.

deforestation and it's effects

 Deforestation and Its Effects Jessica Bailey - November 18, 2021     Deforestation is the removal of trees and clearing of forestland purposefully by mankind. Throughout the span of human existence, forests have been cleared for many reasons. It could be to make space for fields and agriculture, animal grazing, to get wood for fuel, manufacturing and/or construction. Now-a-days, the largest amount of deforestation occurs in the tropical rainforests; this was due to the road construction that go into regions that was once almost not accessible. Deforestation is not good for the environment because it destroys ecosystems, threatens the worlds biodiversity and releases a lot of carbon dioxide into the air. While this damage can be permanent, in North America (an example) is restoring their forests by conservation efforts.  https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/deforestation/

Want to go on a cruise ship, think again

Other dangers that cruise ships might present is potential danger to passengers/staff physical and mental health including land-based residents who live close to the ...
