PYROPHILUS from the Greek pyros, fire and philos, love; In the case of plants we speak of pyrophilic plants to which they are attracted by fire, which can manifest itself in various ways. They are trees that help combustion because they resist high temperatures and provide resins, but they are able to survive. In the case of humans we speak of arsonists, people who are fascinated by flames to such an extent that they cause arson. Fungi that appear in burned forests were initially called pyrophiles but were rectified in 1970.

It was founded by Anton Drexler, leader of the German workers' party, whose aim was to end the draconian sanctions of Versailles and ST. Germain and reconquer territories for the German people.
GELIFRACTION Gelifraction or cryoclastia is a process of necanic weathering consisting of the fracture of the rock as a result of the presence of ice wedges in cracks and fissures. When the water located in the hole freezes, it increases the pressure of the material, opening the fissure more. Both gelifraction and erosion are mechanical weathering processes, unlike chemical and biological ones.
