True or False: Bends in canyons are likely places for eddies to form.

Bends in canyons create unique airflow patterns due to the change in direction of the canyon walls. As wind flows through a canyon, when it encounters a bend, it can create turbulence and disruptions in its flow. This turbulence causes the formation of eddies, which are circular currents of air that can spin in different directions.

Eddies in canyons are significant in understanding fire behavior because they can influence the movement of smoke, heat, and embers. In these areas, the eddies can contribute to unpredictable fire behavior, making it crucial for firefighters to understand these dynamics when assessing fire spread and intensity. The presence of the bends in the terrain directly affects how the air moves, leading to these eddies forming under various wind conditions, not just in flat terrains or during storms. Thus, the statement is true.
