Central Question: How can other natural forces (Fire and Ice) have an effect on speciation? Guiding Thought Question: Should humans intervene and interfere in natural events, such as wildfires, or should they allow them to take their course? Explain your reasoning. Today's Learning Objective: Students will examine the processes through which fire and glaciers can change and develop an ecosystem. |

When humans create the fire they should be the ones to end the fire. Controlled burns are one thing, but gender reveals are another.

yes. i believe that it is our duty as humans to protect the earth with our superior knowledge, which we are doing a very poor job of

Wildfires can be healing to forests when they are natural and do not get out of control. When wildfires happen on accident they can be damaging to homes and destroy more than they need to. Controlled burns are okay, out of control is not. Humans should step in when it is their fault.

For forest fires yes we should try to stop them so Animals don’t lose habitats or spread to different areas and destroy them. But for other natural disasters we should help the aftermath. Humans can’t stop things like tsunamis, tornadoes, earthquakes, and hurricanes.

Though we should let nature take its course, we should intervine and protect because of how poor the Earth is now.

humans should do controlled burns in areas where fires are needed, but we should control wildfires because they can be devasting to human settlements and wildlife populations.

I would say controlled burns are good since some plants need fire. But really big wildfires should be stopped. Other natural disasters all we can really do is help clean up the aftermath

They should intervene when the fire happens because of humans. And if the fire is happening longer than it would naturally we should intervene

I think that forest fires are a natural part of the forest ecosystem, but I think with the amount that are happening due to global warming causing droughts we should put them out because it is becoming a big issue in places like Australia and California. I think if humans cause the problem they should be responsible for fixing the issue.

I think people should intervene. If they don’t things could get out of hand and just cause more damage.

I think we should try to stop the wildfires if we created the fire, but we can help with the aftermath of natural disasters to make the environments heal faster.

Humans should intervene because most wildfires are only so large because of humans. Humans should help out if their actions are the reason habitats are being destroyed.

I think humans should step in when lives are at stake or in danger.

I think humans shouldn't intervene in natural wildfires, because it is actually good for the environment. But if the fires are started by humans and spread out of control, we should intervene.

Although natural wildfires help remove dying growth, at the rate of fires currently, I think it would be best for humans to intervene to protect the urban areas and animals

Now that wildfires are happening more often and in larger intensities, I believe they should be controlled so the wildfires don't get as chaotic as they would without any outside control.

I think that they should only intervene with wildfires that are accidents and human caused, but should allow controlled burns that would help the forests.

I think that wildfires should be put out because they cause a lot of damage to towns and cities. But some ecosystems need a burn in that case humans should do a controlled burn. I never think fire should run unattended (even though fire is cool)

I think that controlled fires are good but we should let natural fires take their course unless they are devastatingly damaging the wildlife and ecosystems because of us.
