A rift is a dropped zone at the point where the plates are moving apart. As the plates move apart the crust widens and thins, valley and volcanoes begin to form in and around the area. At the start of the rift formation streams and rivers flow into the low valley and long lakes can be created.
However in many cases, there are a select few items that withstand the inferno. The average house fire burns at a temperature of about 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit, which isnât hot enough to destroy most metals and earthly-made substances. And if an item is well-placed and small in size, its chances of survival increase drastically.
Fire only happens when a flammable gas is mixed with oxygen. So, how does a solid candle burn? If you heat wax hot enough, it chemically decomposes into flammable gasses and those burn. The catch is that, to get wax that hot, it basically needs to be inside a flame already.
