I have heard differing answers to this by two reliable (But clearly not) sources - The Guardian & The Times.

1, It is after the new moon at the time of (or just before) the summer solstace - The flying Ants are reacting to a tidal pressure change.
2, It is a reaction to the sound of rainfall on the surface of the ground - They happen to be breading around the summertime and therefore the first of the summer rains releases them.

I find answer 1 to be much more believable than 2, Mainly because rainfall is not uniform across the country so it is much more likely that the reaction of the Ants is of a tidal origin. However I have never travelled the length of the country on the day that these Flying ants appear so it is possible (However I feel unlikely) that localised rain sets of colonies near to me.

I understand it's the title of a Neil Young album. But I was thinking about the phrase "rust never sleeps" and wondered if it was literally true that the process of something rusting does not cease, if the materials involved in the process actually never cease to slowly continue forming what we refer to as rust. I know, weird quesiton....

The closure axiom states you get a unique answer when you add two real numbers. What is meant by a unique answer?

I don't know if these are still used, but the Kraffts used to use them. I have to know the answer for my science class--and NO, I am not cheating! *I* answered all of the other 20 questions by myself, and now I need to use my resources!
I think that the answer is because the asbestos suits are so protective, the volcanologists can't sense approaching lava or pyroclastic flow. Is this correct? If not, what's the real reason?
Thanks to everyone who answers! You guys are lifesavers, 'cuz I'm a doomed overachiever and I CANNOT miss a point on my first science assignment!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Forest fires are at present raging and sweeping across Greece uncontrollably. Villages have to be evacuated and some historic sites such as Mt Olympia are also threatened.

However, how can villages and historic sites be threatened by forest fires? Are they not outside the forest and far away? For example, can New York or Las Vegas be threatened by forest fires? Surely not, isn't it?

So why must villages be evacuated? I don't understand.
