My b/f asked me out of the blue one day, "How can water get on fire?" My reply was, "The only way there will be fire on the water is if there is gas, petrol or anything chemical that can catch on fire" Maybe there is a better way of explaining this. He also asked, "So, how long can we keep the fire burning on the water?" I guess as long as there is enough gas,petrol or other chemical on the surface of the water. Am I right? Can someone please explain this science in a simple english term, thank you.
