Gravity if forming the clouds from the atomic bomb.
a nuclear explosion
uncontrolled nuclear fission and/or fusion.
This question makes no sense as an atomic bomb is a nuclear bomb and vice versa. They are the same thing.
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)
The nuclear fusion uses Hydrogen to produce Helium. The fusion also releases a lot of energy, which is what causes the explosion.

Staring at a mushroom cloud can expose your eyes to harmful levels of radiation, heat, and intense light, leading to serious eye injuries or even permanent blindness. It is important to take immediate cover and protect your eyes if you witness a nuclear explosion.
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.
The force of the explosion pushes the air out from around it, creating a pocket of low air pressure. As the smoke and debris cloud begins rising, fresh air flows in from outside the area of explosion, forcing the cloud higher and forming the shape of a mushroom. This can happen with any sufficiently powerful explosion, but it's most well known and most well associated with nuclear explosions.
Both atmospheric and surface nuclear detonations can create mushroom clouds. Atmospheric detonations occur above the Earth's surface, while surface detonations occur at or near the Earth's surface. The characteristic mushroom cloud is formed when the intense heat of the explosion generates an updraft that draws up debris and dust into the atmosphere.

Noboby can survive a nuclear bomb if he is within explosion distance.
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.
Depends on the power of the nuke. At the center of the explosion the destruction is total. Farther, damages become less destructive, but the radioactive cloud can travel tens or hundreds of kilometers.

Mushroom clouds result from atomic bomb explosions. These clouds form due to the intense heat and pressure generated during the detonation, causing a vertical column of hot air, smoke, and debris to rise rapidly into the atmosphere. The top of the column then expands, creating the distinctive mushroom shape.
After a nuclear explosion, radioactive particles can be released into the atmosphere. These particles can travel long distances and pose a significant health risk if inhaled or ingested. Protective measures such as evacuation and sheltering in place are crucial to minimize exposure to these radioactive particles.
