Answer 1

(a) Three sources of fires in natural ecosystems are lightning, human activities, and spontaneous combustion.

To reduce the potential frequency of occurrence due to human activities, people should be educated on the importance of fire safety and the dangers of starting fires in natural ecosystems. People should also be discouraged from engaging in activities that could potentially start a fire, such as smoking, campfires, and fireworks. Additionally, people should be encouraged to practice proper disposal of cigarettes and other materials that could potentially start a fire. Finally, people should be encouraged to report any suspicious activity that could lead to a fire.
