NASA Tracks the Arizona Bush Fire

The video discusses the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme fires, influenced by factors such as fire weather, redundant droughts, and climate change. It highlights the role of NASA in providing crucial data for fire management and air quality, emphasizing the interconnectedness of Earth's systems.

What factors contribute to the classification of a fire as 'extreme'?

• Elevation and topography

• Only temperature

• Fire weather conditions

• Both elevation and fire weather conditions

How does climate change influence the occurrence of fires?

• It increases the frequency and intensity of fires

• It has no impact on fire occurrence

• It decreases the frequency of fires

• It only affects fires in the southern hemisphere

What is meant by 'redundant droughts' in the context of climate change?

• Droughts that have no impact on the environment

• Droughts that only affect urban areas

• Droughts that happen repeatedly over a short period

• Droughts that occur once in a decade

What type of information does NASA provide regarding fires?

• Only pre-fire information

• Only post-fire information

• Pre-fire, active fire, and post-fire information

• Only active fire information

How does NASA contribute to addressing air quality and health issues related to fires?

• By predicting future fires

• By providing data and resources

• By extinguishing fires directly

• By relocating affected populations
