List the three methods of mass transport of firebrands - wind, convection In an unstable atmosphere - Smoke will continue to rise long as it remains warmer than the surrounding atmosphere & Air parcels both rise and sink. Describe how convection influences transport of firebrands - throws the fire brands straight up to allow them to travel further. the primary factors that affect rate of spread are - changes in fuel type, wind speed, and steepness of slope. Which of the following cha...
