Any explosion exposed or vented to the atmosphere. The bigger the explosion the bigger and more well formed the mushroom cloud.

What type of radiaton does a nuclear warhead give off?
A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission or a combination of fission and fusion. When a nuclear device is exploded, a large fireball is created. Everything inside of this fireball vaporizes, including soil and water, and is carried upwards. This creates the mushroom cloud that we associate with a nuclear blast, detonation, or explosion. Radioactive material from the nuclear device mixes with the vaporized material in the mushroom cloud. As this vaporized radioactive material cools, it becomes condensed and forms particles, such as dust. The condensed radioactive material then falls back to the earth; this is what is known as fallout. Because fallout is in the form of particles, it can be carried long distances on wind currents and end up miles from the site of the explosion. Fallout is radioactive and can cause contamination of anything on which it lands, including food and water supplies. A nuclear detonation creates a severe environment including blast, thermal pulse, neutrons, x- and gamma-rays, radiation, electromagnetic pulse (EMP), and ionization of the upper atmosphere.
Which type of condensation nuclei are most likely to cause cloud to form?
Cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) are usually Sulfate aerosol (SO42- and methanesulfonic acid droplets).
What type of particle leaves a long thin trail in a cloud chamber?
Alpha Particle
When a firecracker explodes stored chemical energy changes into sound and light energywhat other type of energy is also released during this transformation?
The energy of a firecracker is stored in the form of gunpowder , a solid . The energy is released by ignition , where it is first transformed to heat energy , then to a gas , which causes the explosion , or release of energy.
What type of energy causes rusting to occur?
Chemical
What type of detonation makes a mushroom cloud?
Any: conventional, nuclear, or impact can cause a mushroom cloud.
Which type if nuclear detonation creates a huge crater and carries millions of tons of earth into the air in a mushroom cloud?
sub surface explosion 100 KT at 25 meter below
What type of cloud results from an atomic bomb explosion?
a radioactive fallout cloud
What type nuclear detonation creates a huge crater with mushroom cloud?
A nuclear detination
What type of nuclear detonation creates a huge crater and creates a mushroom cloud?
Surface burst
Which cloud type of nuclear detonation creates a huge crater and carries millions of tons of earth onto the air in a mushroom cloud?
Surface
What type of cloud causes thunderstorms?
Nimbus
Which type of necluar detonation creates a huge crater and carries millions of tons of earth into the air in a mushroom cloud?
Many nuclear detonations will create a mushroom cloud (especially near the ground due to material from the ground being sucked up into the vacuum created by the explosion, thus forming a large part of the "stem" of the cloud) and if they are near the ground, will create at least a small crater, but it sounds like you are talking about a groundburst detonation (as opposed to an airburst). These types of explosions carry more radioactive debris from the ground into the air and generate a lot of fallout due to the irradiated debris from the explosion.
Which type of nuclear detonation creates a huge crater and creates a mushroom cloud?
A shallow subsurface burst.
What causes Steady rain?
The formation of a Nimbostratus cloud otherwise known as Nimbus cloud causes steady rain. This type of cloud is 2,000 meters in thickness.
Which type of nuclear detonation creates a huge crater and carries millions of tons of earth into the air in a mushroom could?
Any type of nuclear explosion will have this effect.
Which type of nucear detonation creates a huge crater millions of tons or earth into the air in a mushroom cloud?
surface burst
