What is more powerful a tornado or nuclear bomb?
An atomic bomb has more destructive potential, but a large, long-lived tornado would probably release more energy than a small nuclear weapon.
Is the hydrogen bomb is more destructive than the atom bomb and why?
yes its about 70 - 400 times more powerful..
What Japanese cities were bombed other than hiroshima and nagasaki?
Japan was almost destroyed when the nuclear bomb were deployed. Tokyo and Kyoto were bomb with fire bombs which had more casualties than the nuclear bombs but compare the two, the nuclear bomb were more potent.
What is most destructive weapon in earth?
The most destructive weapon on earth is the hydrogen bomb. These weapons are potentially thousands of times more powerful than ordinary atom bombs (which use nuclear fission rather than fusion) and could easily destroy a city in seconds.
Why are nuclear bombs used?
Because they are more destructive than conventional explosives.
Is the atom bomb and a nuke the same?
No, an atomic bomb uses fission, but a nuclear or thermonuclear bomb combines fission and nuclear fusion. Therefore, a nuke is more powerful than an atom bomb.
Is an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb more powerful?
The terms "atomic bomb" and "nuclear bomb" are general terms and can pretty much be used interchangeably. That said, there isn't any difference between them, and one is not more powerful than the other in that light.
Which weapon does Russia has which is more powerful than nuclear bomb?
perhaps biological
Is the nuclear bomb more powerful than the hydrogen bomb?
Nuclear bomb can mean either fission or fusion bomb. Hydrogen bomb means fusion bomb. The fusion bomb can be built with any yield one wants, just by adding more stages with more fuel. The fission bomb has a theoretical maximum yield that cannot be exceeded.
Other than radiation is a nuclear explosion more destructive than a conventional explosion with the same yield and is the way the energy is being released portioned differently in a nuclear explosion?
Yes. an X kiloton of Nuclear bomb vs X kiloton of RDX/TNT. Nuclear Explosion is more destructive because apart from Shock wave and cloud of fire it will make the entire region Radio Active which will not only destroy the life and life forms currently present but will ruin that area for ages to come.
Why is Hydrogen bomb more destructive than atom bomb?
A hydrogen bomb is more destructive than an atomic bomb because it has hydrogen. Hydrogen is highly flammable, and if a hydrogen bomb exploded with enough force and just enough fire, a huge wide area of a fiery explosion will occur. This is more destructive than the atomic bomb. Fire basically engulfs everything and destroys all in its path, making for an effective bomb.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Wrong!Hydrogen does not burn in a hydrogen bomb, it fuses releasing atomic energy too. This fusion reaction is over in microseconds, much faster than combustion can start; also it reaches temperatures in the tens of millions of degrees, much hotter than any chemical fire or fission bomb. The reason a fusion bomb is usually more destructive than a fission bomb is the fusion bomb has no upper limit on yield, the fission bomb cannot be built with a yield over 1 megaton. One can just keep adding fusion stages until you get the desired yield.
Why neutron bomb is known as smart bomb?
It is not. A "smart" bomb is one with a guidance system that guides it directly to the target. A "Neutron" bomb is a specialized form of nuclear weapon that produces relatively little blast, but releases more immediate nuclear radiation than most other nuclear weapons
