comes in the winter. High chances of fire due to lack of rainfall,
dryness, and hot temperatures. Physical Features
Found on rocky hills and mountain slopes.

Why is there an abundance of fires recorded in areas classified as chaparrals?

the dry climate and dead organic matter3. Because of prevailing winds4. Because clouds reflect infrared radiation, so
when the sun does come out, it heats the landscape too quickly
