An interesting observation made by the firefighters was that some parts of the forest seemed to escape the flames. the crown fire would drop down into a ground fire in these areas, and then jump back up into the canopy as the fire burned into adjacent areas. they observed that many of these areas had previously been thinned, which means that some of the trees were cut down and hauled away to be used as timber. in other areas, thinned forests burned with as much severity as the unthinned forest. your objective is to design an observational study to help answer the question: what was the determining factor for areas that escaped the worst impacts of the fire, compared to areas that were severely burned?select the best hypothesis and prediction that follow from the question you're trying to answer. for help getting started, see t

The thinning of the trees was the most important indicator is defining the rate of fire caught by trees

Explanation:

If we look in the broader picture, most resistance to fire was offered by the trees that had been already in the cut form. On the other hands the trees that had not been thinned were the ones that were harshly impacted in the spreading bushfire. The main factor in comparing the two situations as it would give a clear picture to the finding that cutting down trees can better prevent in the spreading of the fire

first, the romans stayed isolated because they had to defend their own territories from neighboring cities that were harassing them, like the etruscans. second, once the romans managed to defeat their neighbors, and started to expand their territory, they started to build roads and bridges. finally, now that the romans have covered their territory with roads functioning as highways, they could mobilize their legions faster to assemble larger military units in a specific place.
