What do you mean by "revolve"?
All explosions, nuclear or conventional, produce a "mushroom cloud" its just that the yield of a nuclear explosion is so much higher that makes the cloud bigger, more obvious, and more persistent.
The mushroom cloud is formed by convection currents from the heat of the fireball: the stem is created by the updraft of the fireball rising through the cool atmosphere, the cap is a toroidal convection cell with the fireball at the center - air is drawn in at the bottom, heated by the fireball, rises above the fireball and on encountering cool air again cools and spreads forming the top of the cap, eventually it spreads enough that there is no more hot air rising under it to hold it up and it falls forming the sides of the cap, usually some of this falling air gets sucked back in and reheated by the fireball as it gets to the bottom of the cap.

What type of explosion causes a mushroom cloud?
A nuclear explosion is the type of explosion that causes a mushroom cloud. The distinctive mushroom-shaped cloud is formed when the intense heat and energy of the explosion causes the surrounding air and debris to rise rapidly, creating the iconic cloud formation.
What produces a mushroom cloud?
A mushroom cloud is the product of a very large explosion, such as from the detonation of a nuclear weapon. The cloud itself is formed by the rapidly rising ball of hot gasses.
Why does a mushroom cloud form after a nuclear bomb explosion?
Gravity if forming the clouds from the atomic bomb.
What is the significance of the thumb mushroom cloud in relation to nuclear explosions?
The thumb mushroom cloud is a visual representation of a nuclear explosion, specifically the shape of the cloud that forms after the detonation. It is significant because it is a distinctive and recognizable symbol of the destructive power of nuclear weapons. The shape of the mushroom cloud is caused by the rapid expansion of hot gases and debris in the atmosphere following the explosion. This iconic image has become synonymous with the devastating impact of nuclear warfare and serves as a reminder of the potential consequences of using such weapons.
Why does mushroom cloud form in after a nuclear explosion?
For the same reason they form following any explosion: heated air from explosion is lighter than surrounding air, making it buoyant and it therefor rises. The cloud is visible because of entrained debris, vaporized metal, smoke from fires, etc. produced by the explosion (nuclear or not). Nuclear mushroom clouds are simply more spectacular because more energy was released, making them hotter.
What does a nuclear explosion look like when viewed from space?
A nuclear explosion viewed from space appears as a bright flash of light followed by a rapidly expanding fireball. The explosion creates a mushroom-shaped cloud that rises into the atmosphere.
Why does a nuclear explosion look like a mushroom cloud?
ALL explosions both nuclear and conventional produce mushroom clouds (fires do too). The mushroom cloud is just a column of rising hot air with a toroidal vortex at the top where cool air falls down around the top of this column. The cloud is made visible by debris and smoke being carried up in the hot air.However nuclear explosions produce mushroom clouds that are both larger and last longer than those produced by other means because of the higher energy release, so they are more visible over longer distances and more memorable.
What is the general rule of thumb for estimating the size and destructive potential of a mushroom cloud?
The general rule of thumb for estimating the size and destructive potential of a mushroom cloud is that the larger the explosion, the bigger and more destructive the mushroom cloud will be. The size of the explosion and the amount of energy released will determine the size and impact of the mushroom cloud.

What was the mushroom cloud?
a phenomenon produced by every explosion (not just nuclear) when air heated by the fireball rises rapidly, sometimes lifting dirt, etc.
What type of detonation makes a mushroom cloud?
Any: conventional, nuclear, or impact can cause a mushroom cloud.
What is an analogy for a nuclear envolope?
