Fire in the wild!

I am currently reading a nonfiction book about Fires in Forests.  After reading the first part of the book I completed the following Cause and Effects Chart to demonstrate my understanding.

Effects
Causes
Wind
Ignites dead grass
Lightning
Flan Flames
Convective Heat
The branches overhead start to burn.
Oil in leaves
Make the fire burn fiercely.

Phenomena- A fact or situation that occurs to exist or happens.
Diverse- To use a different way or strategy to end something from happening.

The next chapter talks about different ways and strategies of ending fires from spreading and putting others live in danger.

Fire- Fighting strategies
Fuel- Remove the fuel, and the oxygen has nothing to react with. The fire dies.
Oxygen- Remove the oxygen, and the fuel molecules have nothing to react with. The fire dies.
Heat- Remove the heat, and the fuel cannot break down into active molecules. The fire dies.
Retardant- Add a retardant to fire- fighting water, and the water will soak deeply into fuel. The fire dies.

Personification:
Personification= The likening of human characteristics to things and ideas.
