The Earth is a dynamic system where "catastrophic" geological events are part of its metabolism.
Many ecosystems, like the Mediterranean chaparral or certain pine forests, require fire to clear dead brush and release seeds that only germinate at high temperatures.
On a global scale, large-scale natural phenomena help distribute heat and energy.
