How do land mines explode?
When anything sufficiently heavy presses down on a raised trigger (or plate), it sets off a chemical or electrical trigger, and the buried explosive detonates. Some mines explode when the trigger is depressed, while others explode when the weight is removed again. The term "mine" comes from when miners would tunnel beneath fixed enemy positions and set off large quantities of explosives under them.
What is the lethal radiation limit for humans?
The lethal radiation dose for humans is around 4 to 5 Gray (Gy) of ionizing radiation received all at once. This amount of radiation would cause severe damage to the cells and tissues in the body, ultimately leading to death within a few days or weeks.
What does the nuclear bomb do?
Without going into rigorous scientific detail, an atomic bomb works by nuclear fission. That is large atoms, namely uranium or plutonium, are split into smaller atoms in an uncontrolled chain reaction. One atom splits, neutrons from that split strike and split more atoms, which release more neutrons when they split which then split still more atoms. This releases a tremendous amount of energy all at once. Thus a single bomb, weighing no more than a few hundred or thousand pounds, explodes with the force of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of tons of TNT.When we look at a hydrogen bomb, which is also a type of atomic bomb, we see that it works by nuclear fusion. That is small atoms, namely hydrogen, are fused together to make atoms of helium. This releases even more energy. Thus a hydrogen bomb has a force of hundreds of thousands, or even many millions of tons of TNT. Fusion requires fantastic temeratures and pressures to occur. The only way to create those conditions is to set off one or more atomic fission bombs. Essentially, a hydrogen bomb is a nuclear fusion device that requires an fission bomb as a detonator.For the more detailed technical answer, use the link you'll find below to the related question.
Was it right for the allies to drop the nuclear bomb?
The decision to drop the nuclear bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II remains a controversial topic. Some believe it was necessary to end the war quickly and save lives, while others argue that the extreme destruction and loss of civilian life were unjustifiable. Ultimately, it is a complex moral question with no clear-cut answer.
Radiation can enter the body by breathing eating drinking absorption through the skin how?
Radiation can enter the body through breathing contaminated air, consuming contaminated food or water, and direct absorption through the skin if in contact with radioactive materials. Once inside the body, these radioactive particles can cause damage to tissues and cells, leading to potential health risks. It is important to follow safety measures to avoid exposure to radiation.
How does radiation spread once a nuclear bomb detonates?
prompt radiation is emitted at the time of detonation and propagates in straight lines from the fireball in all directions; prompt radiation is neutrons, gamma rays, x-rays, UV, light, IR, with smaller amounts of microwave and radio wavesdelayed radiation is mostly in the form of fallout and spreads by the winds (in an atmospheric detonation), water currents (in an underwater detonation), or by following the earth's magnetic field lines (in a detonation in space; delayed radiation is mostly alpha, beta, and gamma rays
Could you use nuclear bombs more than once?
No, once it detonates it no longer exists.
What radiation do atomic bombs give of?
The radiation levels of atomic bombs vary according to the amount of radioactive elements put into the bombs or missiles and if they are actually used. Once the radioactive matter is inside the bomb housing the radiation levels are negligible but once one of the nuclear bombs is used then the variables come into play. (see related link below to see how complex it is) Consider this: the atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945 are 1/10th the killing power of today's nuclear missiles. If one modern nuclear missile were to be used today the bomb would be able to kill about a third of the world with the initial bomb blast and radiation fallout. The radiation level after Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not really measured until after the US occupied Japan. The Japanese leaders did not really understand the radiation fallout and poisonous danger and they did not use radiation detectors right after the blast. It is rumored the radiation levels were 100 times today's acceptable levels of radiation.
What does an a-bomb destroy?
An Atomic bomb destoys EVERYTHING in it's path (I once had one threat from an a-bomb at school once).Even if you are at least 500 feet away, you WILL be vaporized.
How do you stop bomb blasts?
Once the bomb has gone off, no one can stop it.
What are three disadvanatges to using the atomic bomb?
The atomic bomb has advantages and disadvantages and sometimes they are the same thing.The cost of building, housing, maintaining and guarding an atomic missile bomb is astronomical.The dangers involved in accidental radiation is minimal but still there. If the bomb is set off radiation is a definite problem around the world.The bomb can destroy cities and small countries all at once. (also advantage) But, retaliation is possible. You can end up destroying the world.The consequences of the bomb's afterlife radiation takes 50 to 100 years or more to wear out depending on the amount of bombs dropped.
Why used nuclear bombs at war time?
They're very destructive and last for a long time, In other words, once you've blown up a nuclear bomb somewhere, it will still be dangerous after the initial explosion has taken place. When a nuclear bomb is used there would be nuclear radiation that would still be present where the bomb hit for quite a while
How did they clean up the radiation in hiroshima?
The only method on cleaning the radiation is time. Once the radiation is in the air, it takes years to disperse.
How do you put flower bombs in your bomb bag in Zelda The Wind Waker?
Flower bombs can't be put into your bomb bag. Only regular bombs can be in a bomb bag. Also, once you remove a bomb from your bomb bag, it can not be put back into the bag
What happens in the end of dead island?
In the end of Dead Island, the survivors manage to escape the island via helicopter while a nuclear bomb detonates, destroying the island and eradicating the zombie threat. The fate of the survivors and what awaits them after they escape is left open to interpretation.
What does the cancer do once it break loose?

Just outta curiosity how do you defuse a nuke?
To defuse a nuclear missile is technically impossible. You'd have somehow eliminate the unstable particles inside the nuclear bomb, and doing that will set it of. The only thing to do is to remove the outside of the missile to get to the bomb. Then you need to make the radiation in the room equal to that in the bomb(do this from a distance, as not doing so will literally be like launching a nuke at you). Then you need to open the bomb so that its particles are equal to that of the outside, a process similar to osmosis. Once you have all the radium in a safe room, convert it all into atomic energy.
