Most likely not, though a large enough explosion might disrupt a small, weak tornado temporarily. The structure of a tornado is enormous, extending upwards for miles. Some of the largest tornadoes can be well over a mile wide, and most very destructive tornadoes are at least a quarter of a mile wide.
However, any explosive strong enough to disrupt a tornado would cause more damage that the tornado.

Would one nuclear bomb destroy a city like New York?
Yes, a fusion bomb (hydrogen bomb) would destroy New York City.
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.
What would happen if an atomic bomb exploded in a tornado?
The explosion would probably disrupt the tornado. However, the effects of the blast and fallout would likely be worse than anything the tornado could do. Even then, the parent thunderstorm may still go on to produce another tornado.
How many square miles can a atomic bomb destroy?
An atomic bomb can approximately destroy 100 square miles.
How big of an area would a nuclear bomb destroy?
depends on yield an height/depth of burst.
Does a atomic bomb destroy a tornado?
Absolutely. However, the certain widespread dispersal of radioactive fallout would deem this solution a ridiculous one.

What would happen if you exploded a powerful bomb in the center of a large tornado?
For a massive wedge tornado, anything short of a nuclear bomb would probably not do much. A nuclear bomb would probably disrupt it, but at the same time would cause far more damage than the tornado itself could.
When did the first atomic bomb touch down?
Atomic bombs don't do that. The closest thing to what you are describing is a "laydown" bomb, a bomb designed to destroy airfield runways using a parachute to put it gently on the ground then detonate it later after a delay of seconds to days. While such atomic bombs have been built and stockpiled, none had ever been used or tested. The nonnuclear "laydown" system was tested by dropping nonnuclear dummy bombs and the atomic bomb to go inside was tested; but entirely separately. In an attack using "laydown" bombs several would be dropped with different delays, so that some exploded very soon after landing causing destruction of the runways, then others would explode at various later times to prevent repairs and harass the repair crews.

Can a tornado be blown up?
A large enough explosion probably would disrupt a tornado, so yes. However, no real scientist has ever put serious though toward this problem, as any bomb powerful enough to stop a tornado would cause more damage than the tornado itself.
Can a tornado be stoped can a type bomb like a concuscion bomb be dropped in a un populated area?
No
What that goes into a gas tank will destroy an engine?
A bomb,lol,but i don't really know but if you put a bomb in there it will destroy it!I LIKE PIE
Which is more damaging Atom bomb or megaton bomb?
Well there is no "Megaton" bombs, but there are hydrogen bombs in the megaton range and they are a lot more powerful. An Atomic bomb can destroy a city. A Hydrogen bomb can destroy a country.
