why does fire or flames burn away into those jagged/spiky shapes?
In: Chemistry
Flames are just glowing hot air.
flames go upward because hot air goes up, the hotter the faster it goes up. They form spikes because the hot air in contact with the colder room air gets golder and ceases to glow. so it gets thiner, and thiner overtime (which, since it moves is also above)
