Answer: Wildfires (bushfires)

Wildfires can happen when people don't put out their campfires or other different fires in the wild, the wind picks up and blows the fire everywhere, and the very hot temperatures keep the fire going. It takes along time to put the fires out so remember to put your fires out!

10. Volcanoes have what inside of them?

Answer: Magma

Volcanoes are like mountains except at the top they are open and magma (melted rock) is inside.

The Hawaiian Islands were built by erupting volcanoes.
