Will a sub kiloton Atomic Bomb make a mushroom cloud?

Yes. In fact, any large explosion(atomic or otherwise)which occurs on or near the ground will cause a mushroom cloud. This is because the explosion creates a mass of superheated air and debris, which will expand and rise upwards because its density is less, and its temperature higher, than the surrounding air; basically the same principle that causes hot-air balloons to rise. This is what gives you the iconic "mushroom" cloud. About the only time you wouldn't expect to see such a cloud is if the detonation occurs deep under ground or water, or at extremely high altitudes.


What damage can volcanoes cause?

Mt. Helena once erupted, and the explosion was 20 x the explosive power of an atomic bomb.


A weapon that produces a massive explosion by splitting atoms?

A weapon that produces a massive explosion by splitting atoms is known as a nuclear bomb or atomic bomb. It operates on the principle of nuclear fission, where the nuclei of heavy atoms, such as uranium-235 or plutonium-239, are split into smaller parts, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process. This release of energy results in a devastating explosion, capable of causing widespread destruction and loss of life. The development and use of such weapons raise significant ethical and humanitarian concerns.


What is stronger between the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb?

In general, a fusion bomb (hydrogen bomb) is more powerful than a fission (atomic) bomb. Fusion bombs use an atomic bomb to begin the fusion reaction.

What happens when a atomic bomb explodes?

When an atomic bomb explodes it forms a mushroom cloud, the explosion gives off EMP or Electro Magnetic Pulse, the explosion is huge and can destroy so much for miles, and the explosion gives off huge amounts of radiation so if you survive the explosion you can suffer or die from the radiation after the bomb blew up.


Is an atomic bomb biotechnology?

biology An atomic bomb is a result of a fission reaction which is pure physics. However, the results of an atomic bomb explosion releases a tremendous amount of energy including a great amount of radiation which can cause radiation burns and affect genetic material possibly causing mutations. In that sense we can say that atomic bomb technology affects biology and therefore can be called biotechnology.
