Global fire distribution in 2009. This map was created from data gathered by the MODIS instrument on NASA's Aqua and Terra satellites. It uses local temperature variations to pinpoint the location of fires. Fires are studied due to their emissions of gases and particulates, and so that their impact on the surrounding ecosystems can be analysed. Some of these fires are man-made, for instance by salsh-and-burn agriculture in forests, while others are natural wildfires. | |
