Volcanic Eruptions: Eruptions can produce hot lava and ash, which can ignite a wildfire in surrounding areas. Spontaneous Combustion: Occasionally, organic material can generate enough heat to combust spontaneously, given the right conditions of temperature and dryness. 2. Human Activities Unfortunately, human actions contribute significantly to wildfires, sometimes more than nature itself: Campfires and Barbecues: Unattended or poorly managed campfires and barbecues can easily spread to dry vegetation...
