Question 3

Maya is developing a computer simulation to model how a wildfire spreads through a pine forest under different environmental conditions.

She programs rules that determine how wind speed, humidity levels, and tree density affect the rate and direction of the fire's spread.

One benefit of using this simulation is that it is much safer than setting real controlled burns to study fire behavior.

Explain one other benefit of using this simulation.
