it might or might no be, one would have to know the yields of the 20 bombs as well as which eruption of vesuvius you are asking about. there is no such thing as a "typical" nuclear bomb yield or volcanic eruption.
Pompeii was a Roman city near what is now Naples, Italy.Pompeii was partially destroyed and buried under ash and pumice during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79.
1. Vesuvius- it killed many people around modern day Naples, or Roman Pompeii and Herculaneum with its pyroclastic flow. Hence, volcanoes that are likely to cause one of the flows if called a versuvian volcano.2. Etna- this is most famous because of an awesome eruption in early Roman days, it dwarfs most of the island of Sicily.The roman god Vulcan was named after the unpredictability of the mountain.3. Mt. Stromboli- For at least the last 20,000 years, the same pattern of eruption has been maintained, in which explosions occurred at the summit craters with mild to moderate eruptions of incandescent volcanic bombs at intervals ranging from minutes to hours.The three main volcanoes in Italy are Mt. Vesuvius, Mt. Etna and Mt. Stromboli which is in Sicily.
The pompeiian people had little warning before the eruption you cant protect anything from 5'000*F mixture of rock glass and ash moving at 600mph and Vesuvius was and still is a very unpredictable and essentailly a ticking timebomb even now the cities and communities around it are all at risk.
Similarities: They are both volcanoes, they are both stratovolcanoes, they both killed people, they both erupted, they both made huge ash clouds, they both made tremors, both had magma with high viscosity
Because they did not have the same knowledge of a volcano as we do today and could not outrun the eruption. If they weren't killed from the initial eruption, they would be killed by the ash and pumice rock that came pelting down from the sky. It wasn't safe for them to stay in their houses either because the pumice rock would accumulate and cause the house to cave in.
Hydrogen bombs use the same process of nuclear fusionthat powers the Sun.
Same as nuclear gravity bombs dropped by bomber aircraft.
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)
Both basically are the same, they can be fission or fusion bombs like Uranium,Plutonium and Hydrogen bombs. A general description would be that atomic bombs are fission bombs. Nuclear bombs are fusion bombs. Fusion bombs are more powerful weight for weight
'BOOM'

It is difficult to determine the exact number of nuclear bombs it would take to kill everyone in the world, as many factors such as location and size of the bombs would come into play. However, it is estimated that a few hundred strategically placed nuclear bombs could have catastrophic global consequences.
the americans thort that japan would drop a nuclear bombon them
the warhead on the rocket is similar to a bomb, delivery method is different.
Atomic bombs use nuclear fission to cause near perpetual chains of reactions. Nuclear warheads (Nukes) just sums up all the different types, including hydrogen bombs (which use nuclear fusion, a much more potent type of power) and atomic bombs. So yes, they are the same.
An atom bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that relies on nuclear fission, while "nuke" is a colloquial term used to refer to any type of nuclear weapon, including both fission and fusion bombs. So, all atom bombs are nukes, but not all nukes are atom bombs.
Atomic bombs use nuclear fission, where heavy atomic nuclei split into smaller ones releasing energy and radiation. Hydrogen bombs use both nuclear fission and fusion, with fusion reactions involving the combining of light atomic nuclei to release even more energy and radiation. Hydrogen bombs are typically more powerful and produce higher levels of radiation compared to atomic bombs.
