Is a twister bigger than a tornado?
No. A tornado and a twister are the same thing.
What was the pollutant in chernobyl air?
Nuclear fallout, from the explosion at the power plant, would be the major one. You'd probably find the same pollution you would find in most other places, too, though.
Could there be an earthquake and tornado at the same time in the same place?
It is possible but extremely unlikely. If a tornado an earthquake were to strike at the same time it would be purely by coincidence.
Is hurricane and tornado in a bottle the same thing?
If you mean a hurricane in a bottle then yes, a hurricane in a bottle and a tornado in a bottle are the same thing. In shape, however, the vortex bears more resemblance to a tornado than a hurricane.
What is the difference between a tornado outbreak and a tornado family?
A tornado outbreak is a series of multiple tornadoes (usually at least six) produced by the same storm system (i.e. a system of multiple storms) in a geographic area in a relatively short period of time (usually 48 hours or less). A tornado family is a series of tornadoes produced in succession by a single storm as it goes through cycles. In a tornado outbreak the tornado tracks are scattered across a given area such as a state or several states. In a tornado family several tornado tracks occur along the same approximate line. Sometimes there are several tornado families within an outbreak.
In which year did the explosion at Chernobyl nuclear reactor occur?
1986, the same year as the Challenger Space Shuttle explosion.
Is hydrofluoric acid compatible with hydrochloric acid?
no it has the same explosion rate of quantumatics a nuclear bomb
Does atomic explosion and nuclear explosion mean the same?
This question could be easily misconstrued. While atomic and nuclear explosion mean the same thing, and all atomic bombs are nuclear bombs, not all nuclear bombs are atomic bombs. The more powerful nuclear bombs are hydrogen bombs, and there is a very important fundamental difference between the two. ============================================================== A bomb is fission - the splitting of an atom H bomb is fusion - the joining together of atoms (and much more powerfull)
Why does mushroom cloud form in after a nuclear explosion?
For the same reason they form following any explosion: heated air from explosion is lighter than surrounding air, making it buoyant and it therefor rises. The cloud is visible because of entrained debris, vaporized metal, smoke from fires, etc. produced by the explosion (nuclear or not). Nuclear mushroom clouds are simply more spectacular because more energy was released, making them hotter.
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.
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.
Is a lahar the same power as a nuclear bomb?
No. A lahar carries far less power than a nuclear bomb. However, large explosive eruptions, which can lead to lahars, can be as strong as or stronger than a nuclear explosion.
What happens when two bombs collide?
This question makes no sense as an atomic bomb is a nuclear bomb and vice versa. They are the same thing.
What language did the word awesome come from?
It is English, from the English word "awe", meaning amazement in the presence of something that is powerful far beyond normal. Being in the presence of a god, or a dragon, or a tornado, or a nuclear explosion might be occasions for awe. These things are awesome. It's interesting that the word "awful" comes from the same root.
Why cant nuclear explosions be heard on earth?
Huh? They not only can be heard but they can be deafening. Using the same seismic equipment used to locate earthquakes, one can "hear" any nuclear explosion anywhere in the entire world, measure its yield, and confirm that it was definitely an explosion not an earthquake (the shockwave pattern is totally different).
How do you say Tornado in Polish?
Same as in English: "Tornado" :)
What is a satellite tornado?
A satellite tornado is a tornado that touches down near and usually orbits a larger tornado within the same mesocyclone.
