Cum se formează tornadele de foc, fenomenul periculos care a pus stăpânire pe Europa din cauza incendiilor

The extreme heat and drought in Europe have led to significant wildfires, with scientists noting the emergence of dangerous fire whirlwinds. Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute have recreated these phenomena in controlled settings to understand their behavior. Fire whirlwinds occur when intense heat and wind interact, creating rotating columns of flames. This behavior can intensify fires and change their direction rapidly, posing risks to firefighters. The ongoing wildfires in Southern Europe reflect a broader trend of increasing wildfire occurrences due to climate change, exacerbated by prolonged heat and drought conditions.
