Probably the most important factor governing the serenity of forest fires is weather Hot, dry weather lowers the moisture content of fuels once a fire has started, wind is extremely critical because it influences the oxygen supply and the rate of spread Forest type and forest conditions are also important factors For example, fire is more likely to occur in conifers than in hardwoods; slash-covered or brushy areas are especially hazardous because the rate at which combustion consumes fuels is proportional to fuel volume and surface area
Some fires are caused by lightning; others are caused by people Those caused by people may be accidental or intentional ( incendiary) The causes of fire in the United States show large regional differences In the Rocky Mountains more than 70 percent of the fires are caused by lightning, whereas incendiary fires amount to only about percent In contrast, more than 40 percent of the fires in the South are incendiary, whereas lightning causes only percent

(5)Mars has no ozone layer to screen out the sun’s lethal radiation Daytime temperatures may reach above freezing, but because the planet is blanketed by the mere wisp of an atmosphere, the heat radiates back into space Even at the equator, the temperature drops to -50C ( -60F ) at night Today there is no liquid water, although valleys and channels on the surface show evidence of having been carved by running water The polar ice caps are made of frozen water and carbon dioxide , and water may be frozen in the ground as permafrost
Despite these difficult conditions, certain scientists believe that there is a possibility of trans-forming Mars into a more Earth-like planet Nuclear reactors might be used to melt frozen gases and eventually build up the atmosphere This in turn could create a “ greenhouse effect ” that would stop heat from radiating back into space Liquid water could be thawed to from a polar ocean Once enough ice has melted, suitable plants could be introduced to build up the level of oxygen in the atmosphere so that, in time, the planet would support animal life from Earth and even permanent human colonies “ This was once thought to be so far in the future as to be irrelevant,” said Christopher McKay, a research scientist at NASA “ But now it’s starting to look practical We could begin word in four or five decades.”
The idea of “ terra-forming” Mars, as enthusiasts call it, has its roots in science fiction But as researchers develop a more profound understanding of how Earth's ecology supports life, they have begun to see how it may be possible to create similar conditions on Mars Don’t plan on homesteading on Mars any time soon, though The process could take hundreds or even thousands of years to complete and the cost would be staggering

A more up-to-date B brighter
C deeper D more practical

C outer space D Mars
66 Which of the following does the author NOT list as a characteristic of the planet Mars that would make colonization difficult?
