    1. Hi Emily, thanks for your questions.
      I don't have any specific website to give you, as the geographical consequences to bush fires are well documented. Short term refers to things such as: loss of life, buildings and landscape damage. Long term refers to things such as: damage to ecosystem, erosion, cost of rebuilding.

    1. Hi Leisl, good question.
      Referencing is a skill that will become more and more relevant for you as your schooling progresses. Ideally, you should use the online reference generator from Oliver (link on this page). Please check with your teacher if you are unsure how to use it.
