What is a bushfire? (2)
Bushfires are an intrinsic part of Australia's environment. Natural ecosystems have evolved with fire, and the landscape, along with its biological diversity, has been shaped by both historic and recent fires. Many of Australia's native plants are fire prone and very combustible, while numerous species depend on fire to regenerate. Indigenous Australians have long used fire as a land management tool and it continues to be used to clear land for agricultural purposes and to protect properties from intense, uncontrolled fires.
intrinsic (adjective) : belonging to the real nature of a thing; not dependent on external circumstances; essential; inherent
prone (adjective): To be prone to something, usually something bad, means to have a tendency to be affected by it or to do it.
combustible (adjective): A combustible material or gas catches fire and burns easily.
