Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, which can occur without direct contact between the objects involved. During the combustion phase of a wildfire, radiation is one of the main heat transfer processes that can cause ignition and spread of fire by heating up nearby fuels.
