What is better to control water or fire?
Fire is seen as more deadly, although it also helps with life and living, though a bit less than water. Fire can also evaporate water, but only if it is a large fire or not much water. Fire is known for burning down things like trees and even creatures.
Which is more important fire or water?
But in most circumstances it is impossible to use water without fire. When water is heated, it is more useful; otherwise it is harmful. As for men who have no need of fire from without, they have this experience not because they do not need it, but because their own heat more than suffices.
Does adding water to a fire make it worse?
Do NOT pour water on the fire! Since oil and water do not mix, pouring water can cause the oil to splash and spread the fire even worse. In fact, the vaporizing water can also carry grease particles in it, which can also spread the fire.
What is the relationship between water and fire?
Water and fire are mutually destructive—water will extinguish a flame, just as fire will boil water away to nothing. The cold, dark sheen of the rivers temper the exuberance of the fires while the bright dancing flames enliven the quiet surface of the water.
How does water affect fire?
Water puts out fire by creating a barrier between the fuel source and the oxygen source (it also has a cooling effect which has to do with the energy required to convert liquid water into water vapor). This smothers the fire.
Does water help fire?
Water cools and smothers the fire at the same time. It cools it so much that it can’t burn anymore, and it smothers it so that it can’t make any more of the oxygen in the air explode. However, you can NOT put out a grease fire using water. A grease fire is oil that has caught fire.
Does water stop fire?
Is water a fire?
Water is not flammable and can’t catch on fire. This is because it is made of hydrogen, which has been fully oxidized and can’t react with oxygen any further. However, the hydrogen and oxygen can fuel and increase a fire when they are separated.
Can fire and water marry?
As a basic rule of thumb, fire and air signs are compatible together (think oxygen plus flame), while water and earth signs are compatible together (think of rain and plants). Fire and water signs together can be dramatic and passionate, but it often leads to extinguished fire (energy) and scalded water (emotions).
Is water more powerful than air?
Actually, water pressure is generally stronger than air pressure. If you pumped the air pressure up enough (like you do when you pump air into a bike tire), then the air pressure may become stronger than standard water pressure.
