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.
An average surface fire on the forest floor might have flames reaching 1 metre in height and can reach temperatures of 800Â°C (1,472Â°F) or more.Under extreme conditions a fire can give off 10,000 kilowatts or more per metre of fire front.This would mean flame heights of 50 metres or more and flame temperatures exceeding 1200Â°C (2,192Â°F). The flash point, or the temperature at which wood will burst into flame, is 572Â°F, according to HowStuffWorks.Photo by Bill Gabbert. And if you want to talk about high temperatures, the surface of the sun is 6,000Â°C (11,000Â°F).The cooler dark-colored sunspots are only 4,000Â°C (7,000Â°F). The core of the sun is a little warmer: 15,000,000Â°C (27,000,000Â°F).nd if you want to talk about high temperatures, the surface of the sun is 6,000Â°C (11,000Â°F).
