Is the world already on fire? And did man cause it?

Answer 1

Yes it is and man leaving the way that is right for him has lead the blind into the pit.

Answer 2

Yes the World is on fire, no man did not cause this.

"The interior of the Earth, like that of the other terrestrial planets, is chemically divided into layers. The Earth has an outer silicate solid crust, a highly viscous mantle, a liquid outer core that is much less viscous than the mantle, and a solid inner core. The crust is separated from the mantle by the Mohorovičić discontinuity, and the thickness of the crust varies: averaging 6 km under the oceans and 30–50 km on the continents.

Based on the abundance of chemical elements in the solar system, their physical properties, and other chemical constraints regarding the remainder of Earth's volume, the inner core is believed to be composed primarily of a nickel-iron alloy, with very small amounts of some unknown elements[3]. Because it is less dense than pure iron, Francis Birch judged that the outer core contains about 10% of a mixture of lighter elements, although these are expected to be less abundant in the solid inner core.

The temperature of the inner core can be estimated using experimental and theoretical constraints on the melting temperature of impure iron at the pressure (about 330 GPa) of the inner core boundary, yielding estimates from 5,000 to 6,000 °C (>9,000 °F)[5]. The range of pressure in Earth's inner core is about 330 to 360 GPa (over 3,000,000 atm)[6], and iron can only be solid at such high temperatures because its melting temperature increases dramatically at these large pressures.

Answer 3

The world has been steadily burning for centuries, in the way of volcanos. You know, that hot, molten stuff that runs out of them and destroys villages? I don't think it's caused by man tho.

Answer 4

We didn't start the fire. It was always burning since the world's been turning.

At least that's what Billy Joel said.

Answer 5

lightning strikes more often than man lights a cigarette. Believe it, or not. The earth maintains a near constant temperature, despite a changing output of solar energy. Man flatters himself, with guilt...

Answer 6

Actually the Earth's core has always been on fire.

No man didn't cause it!

Evolution did! Evolution of the planet!

Answer 7

Not yet it isn't. Global Warming will probably flood the earth first, and put out any fires.

Answer 8

"We didn't start the fire, it's was always burning since the world's been turning." ...Billy Joel

Answer 9

It was always burning, since the world's been turning...

Answer 10

Centralia, Pennsylvania is and it is believed someone burning trash started it in 1962.
