Every explosion happening in an atmosphere makes a mushroom cloud; whether the explosion is a tiny firecracker, a hand grenade, a conventional bomb (e.g. the three explosions shown in the photo above), an atomic bomb, a hydrogen bomb, an explosive volcanic eruption, a meteor exploding in midair due to thermal stresses (e.g. comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 at Jupiter), a meteor impact making a crater, etc. How visible the mushroom cloud is and how long it persists depends on the yield of the explosion (how big it was in terms of energy released). The mushroom shape is simply an effect of buoyancy: hot gasses produced by the explosion are less dense than the surrounding air so they rise with the cap of the mushroom being a toroidal vortex (similar to a smoke ring).
Similar clouds can be observed in the smoke above large fires and water vapor above cooling towers, but usually missing a well defined cap.
Underground salt domes (that contain petroleum and natural gas) result from the same density phenomenon, with less dense salt rising through more dense rock. However here in most cases only the cap remains without the stem.

Will a sub kiloton Atomic Bomb make a mushroom cloud?
Yes. In fact, any large explosion(atomic or otherwise)which occurs on or near the ground will cause a mushroom cloud. This is because the explosion creates a mass of superheated air and debris, which will expand and rise upwards because its density is less, and its temperature higher, than the surrounding air; basically the same principle that causes hot-air balloons to rise. This is what gives you the iconic "mushroom" cloud. About the only time you wouldn't expect to see such a cloud is if the detonation occurs deep under ground or water, or at extremely high altitudes.
How is heavy water used in the hydrogen bomb?
Heavy water is not used directly in the hydrogen bomb. The deuterium in the heavy water is separated and reacted with lithium metal to make lithium deuteride. Lithium deuteride is a dry powder that is the fusion fuel for hydrogen bombs.
What happens when two hydrogen atoms combine to make a helium atom and energ y?
When two hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium atom, a process called nuclear fusion occurs. This releases a large amount of energy in the form of light and heat. This is the same process that powers the sun and other stars.
How do you make hail on little alchamy?
To create hail in Little Alchemy, you need to combine cloud and ice. Drag the cloud icon on top of the ice to make hail.
Has a stem but never grows?
A mountain?? Doesn't make any sense!!
How do you make Nuclear bomb in doodle devil?
Go and find out your self.
Why does the atom bomb make a mushroom shaped cloud?
Any explosion on the ground makes a mushroom cloud, even small grenades. This is because of the physics of the explosion. The high pressure pushes out rapidly, making a low pressure zone in the middle of the explosion. Air rushes back in to fill this area, making the smaller "pinched" area that looks like the mushroom stalk.

Who wrote the memoir Under the Mushroom Cloud in Hiroshima?
Under the cloud nothing survived so if you read something about it make no attention to it.
What element is used to make a hydrogen bomb?
A hydrogen bomb, also known as a thermonuclear bomb, uses isotopes of hydrogen such as deuterium and tritium. These isotopes undergo fusion reactions to release a huge amount of energy, which is the principle behind the explosive power of a hydrogen bomb.
Why does the atomic bomb make a mushroom cloud?
== == Any thermonuclear device creates a mushroom cloud because of the immense heat. Any explosion can create a mushroom cloud, as long as it can heat the gases enough to allow them to rise. The rising air lifts off the ground rapidly, until it reaches a height where the other gases are more dense. The falling gases then get sucked back into the "stem" as the rising gases are moving rapidly enough to create a vacuum. The "mushroom" phenomenon is created whenever there is a density differential between two bodies of fluid, called a "Rayleigh-Taylor Instability". This is mathematically dictated by Navier-Stokes equations.
Why did Edward Teller make the hydrogen bomb?
He created it to be more powerful than the atomic, and fission bomb.
What form of energy does the hydrogen bomb use?
Atomic energy, released by the fusion of hydrogen isotopes to make helium.
What make an atomic bomb different from a hydrogen bomb?
There are many differences, one is that it is impossible to build a pure fission atomic bomb with a yield above 1 megaton (the largest tested was 500 kilotons, half the limit) while there is no limit on the yield that a hydrogen bomb can produce. The difference in mechanism is that an atomic bomb gets all of its yield from fission of heavy isotopes (e.g. plutonium-239, uranium-235, uranium-233) while a hydrogen bomb gets a significant amount of its yield from fusion of isotopes of the light element hydrogen (deuterium and tritium).
Can you make a hydrogen bomb more powerful by adding more ingredients?
Yes, that is the exact advantage of the radiation implosion hydrogen bomb design. Just keep adding more stages with more fuel to get as large a yield as desired.
What event intensified American interest in developing a hydrogen bomb?
The Soviet Union exploded its first atomic bomb in 1949, President Truman had to make a terrible decision-- whether to develop an even more horrifying weapon- Hydrogen bomb
