In the 1970s studies were being done on supercomputers of the effects of giant meteor impacts on the earth. It was notices that large firestorm forest fires would be ignited, as well as large amounts of dirt and powdered rock would be thrown out. The particulates (soot from forest fires and particulates from the impact) would end up in the stratosphere, where they could stay for decades. They would nearly block sunlight, causing a several decade worldwide winter.
Somewhat later it was noted that the available nuclear weapons had a similar total yield to the meteor impact. Therefor in a large nuclear war a decades long winter was also possible. This go the name nuclear winter.
What else can I help you with?
What will happen to the earth during the nuclear winter?
Akin to global warming, just theories.
What is the danger of a nuclear war?
the after effects will be a nuclear winter. the coldest winter ever.and if the cold doesn't kill and the nuclear waste doesn't, the soon to follow wars will.http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_warfare has more info including dates, and what might will happen.
What would happen if uranium wasn't extracted?
No nuclear energy, no nuclear weapons
Could nuclear winter stop another ice age?
No. A nuclear winter (by its name) is a cold period brought on by dust and debris in the atmosphere blocking out the sun after a nuclear explosion. This lack of sun would cause the earth to cool dramatically depending on the size of the blast. If a nuclear winter occurred we would be heading into another ice age rather than away from it.
What would happen if nuclear weapon deployed?
they already are
Which is most likely to happen if an ecosystem does not receive sunlight for a long time?
Everything dies. It is called a nuclear winter when there is so much debris in the atmosphere it blocks the sun. It is speculated that if several nuclear weapons are used the earth would go into a nuclear winter for several years because of the debris in the atmosphere. So, if people survive the blast, radiation sickness, and other conditions they will also have to deal with an age of no sun and live in permanent winter.
What would happen to a cell if it had no nuclear membrane?
The world would explode
When was Happiest Nuclear Winter created?
Happiest Nuclear Winter was created in 2005.
When was Nuclear Winter Wonderland created?
Nuclear Winter Wonderland was created in 2008.
What would happen if there were Nuclear membrane in a cell?
it will blow up
What would happen to the type of atom when the number of protons is changed?
It would become an atom of a different element. This can only happen during radioactive decay, nuclear fusion, or nuclear fission.
What would happen to volleyball left outside in the winter?
It would shrink. (>'-')>
