What is a tidal wave caused by a earthquake?
This is known as a tsunami.
What energy nuclear bomb change?
Nuclear binding energy to thermal energy to blast shock wave energy.
What happens when a land mine explodes?
Explosives detonate, creating a rapidly expanding shock wave. In some cases, the shock wave alone causes injury or death. In other cases, the shock wave drives projectiles that cause injury.
What are the vertical streamers next to an atomic bomb blast?
It's not from the atomic blast The smoke trails were not caused by the blast itself, but by smoke rockets that created contrails to provide points of reference for measuring the shock wave caused by the nuclear blast.In the first few milliseconds after a nuclear detonation, the fireball and shock wave are indistinguishable, but soon after, the fireball cools a little and the shock wave continues on beyond it. The shock wave is a layer of high density air that expands out from the blast very rapidly. In nuclear testing, the scientists and engineers wanted to be able to track the progress of the shock wave well after it went beyond the fireball. So, they launched smoke rockets well behind the detonation site seconds before detonation. The dense layer of air acted as a sort of lens, refracting the image of the smoke rockets behind it, and allowing those working on the project to calculate the shock velocity and other properties as a scientific function. == ==
What causes aLarge shock wave followed by an intense heat?
Lightning bolt
When was The Shock Wave created?
The Shock Wave was created in 1994.
Is the shock wave of a nuke radioactive?
No, but you will already have been irradiated by the radioactivity contained in the light given off by the expanding fire ball (which travels to you at the speed of light). The shock wave hits you after this because the shock wave travels in the medium of the air (at the speed of sound). It will then be followed by the blast which may contain radioactive debris (partials) formed by the nuke. You are then hit by the fallout from the mushroom cloud which is heavy with radioactive debris.
How fast is a nuclear explosion?
The explosion itself is over within a few microseconds, but it takes milliseconds to seconds for the fireball to expand to full size. The blast wave travels as a supersonic shock wave. Fires ignite later, mostly from fire sources knocked over or broken by the blast (the blast blows out initial direct flash fires before they can spread).
How many pages does Shock Wave - novel - have?
Shock Wave - novel - has 537 pages.
How do you fix unresponsive plug in sHock wave?
I have problem unresponsive plug in shock wave.
The higher pressure part of a sound wave is called?
Shock waves
Is Shock Wave Better or Thunder?
Actually thunder is better than shockwave. Because thunder causes more damage and can attack all kinds of Pokemon.but shock wave is a good move for partime and it is good or powerful for bird Pokemon like zapdoz.Thunder is best move for a thunder Pokemon and shock wave is best for bird thunder Pokemon .
