Smoke movement

Smoke movement refers to how smoke travels and disperses in the air after it is released from a source, like a fire. Factors influencing smoke movement include wind speed and direction, temperature, and humidity. Warm air rises, carrying smoke upward, while cooler air can draw smoke horizontally or downward. Obstacles like buildings and trees can redirect smoke flow. Understanding smoke movement is crucial for fire safety, air quality, and emergency response, as it helps predict where smoke might spread and how it can impact people and the environment.
