How many people were killed in the fire raids on the cities in Japan and Germany?
Dresden (100,000+) Tokyo (100,000+) These were devastating raids, in Tokyo the city was built of wood and the incendiaries obliterated the city. Dresden was bombed by the British and the bombing is considered controversial because many consider it retaliation for the German bombings of England. The German government estimates the total number of German civilians killed in air raids at about 595,000. The figure given above for Dresden is far too high. Scholarly studies for a long time put the figure for Dresden at about 35,000. Since German reunfication in 1990 much of the centre of Dresden has been rebuilt and the human remains recovered, together with other evidence, point to a figure of 25,000-30,000, probably towards the upper end of this range. The raid on Dresden is controverial because it served no discernable military purpose at all. It's not fruitful or even possible to divide air raids on civilian targets into 'fire raids' and other raids.
What characters use explosives in Indiana Jones 2 the adventure continues?
There are random bazooka troopers that carry bomb shooters and some granadiers that throw grenades.
That depends on how intense the fallout was, the radiation LD50 for that type of creature, and whether they have a place to shield them from some of the radiation from the fallout.
Insects and other simple creatures have much higher radiation LD50 than mammals and other complex creatures.
Small creatures that often live underground will have some shielding.
However if the fallout is very intense at a given location almost nothing except perhaps bacteria will survive (if even that)!
Humans can survive if they have a fallout shelter to live it that will shield them, a positive pressure forced air HEPA air filtration system to maintain fresh air in the shelter while preventing fallout from entering with the air, and at least one wide range ionization radiation survey meter to check both inside and outside radiation levels to check for contamination of the shelter and to determine how long it is safe to go outside should that be necessary. Other creatures do not have the advantage of being able to build and/or learn to use these tools to protect themselves, like humans do.
How do you dodge bombs in Mario Kart wii?
You can't dodge the red shell,only with an item Ex:banana,green shell
It is possible to crush the shell against a wall. If the red shell goes into a wall it is smashed. Going into a cannon. In battles, if you are on chain chomp roulette or funky stadium, stay on the blue jumps at the edge and jump as often as possible.
Compare the energy of a 1-megaton hydrogen bomb to the energy released by a major earthquake?
A magnitude 8 earthquake releases approximately the same energy as a 15 megaton nuclear explosion (e.g. Castle Bravo test in 1954). This is the same as fifteen 1 megaton nuclear explosions.
Note: the photo above is of a 0.5 megaton nuclear explosion.
Did the us drop a major bomb on iraq?
"Major bomb" is not a technical term for any explosive device, so it is impossible to determine what the proper answer is.
The United States, however, used NONE of the following types of bombs during the War in Iraq: napalm bombs, cluster bombs, firebombs, chemical weapons, biological weapons, or nuclear weapons. By contrast, the US used targeted aerial bombs, tomahawk missiles with conventional warheads, shrapnel grenades, and numerous other types of explosive devices.

How many woman were killed while making explosives in the 2nd world war?
Women made bombs, ammunition and thousands of other things for the war.
What is gunpowder used for today?
Today GUNPOWDER is use for fireworks weapons and even for fireworks and deretions!
Why was the hydrogen bomb dropped in 1952?
wefwefwefwefewfewfewf
it let America know what sort of thing they would get into if they did drop it on Japan. It also gave America a false sense of pride, too much pride.
the significance of the creation was that it was the first time humans had easy ability to end civilization
How much hydrogen is in a hydrogen bomb?
there is no Hydrogen in a hydrogen bomb.
its called a hydrogen bomb because there are isotopes of hydrogen: tritium (3H ), and deuterium (2
H,)
How did bombs effect people in the blitz?
Destroyed buildings, killed and wounded people. The threat of being bombed at night required that cities have all lights turned off, and people either built simple bomb shelters, or slept in the underground subway system.
What punishment where uses in puritan women?
Ceremonial Killings were a Puritan thing but if you study carefully the new Puritan's that moved to Massachusetts looking for religious freedom often did use capital punishment such as hangings and stone pressure (victim is tied to the ground and stone slabs mounted on their chest until they cease to breathe).
Women were not exempt from such deaths.
However, for smaller crimes such as gossiping, Puritans would actually sew the gossiping women's eyes and mouth shut so they could see no evil or speak no evil. Sadly i do not know the exact name of this ritual/punishment.
What are the effects of grenades?
Nothing (unless you're hit by shrapnel); the grenade is nothing but a small hand held version of an artillery shell. An infantryman's personal form of artillery.
Was grenades used in the battle of Gettysburg?
Not really. The current hand grenade had not been invented. There WERE "grenades" of a sort- large metal balls filled with gunpowder, with a burning fuse- but they were rarely used.
How do you throw grenades in Highway Pursuit 2?
you hold ctrl while you shoot (grenade launcher attachment required)
Which type of bombs are primarly fragmented weapons that contain submunitions?
That is a cluster bomb- and the term is submunitions.
What event intensified American interest in developing a hydrogen bomb?
The Soviet Union exploded its first atomic bomb in 1949, President Truman had to make a terrible decision-- whether to develop an even more horrifying weapon- Hydrogen bomb
Why does President Truman authorize work on the Hydrogen bomb?
The Soviet Union was working on nuclear weapons and a weapons race begun. They were terrified of each other.
When did the Soviets test their first hydrogen bomb?
The only nuclear weapons ever used in war were the "Little Boy" a single stage 80% enriched uranium fission gun bomb and "Fat Man" a single-stage plutonium fission implosion bomb dropped by the USA on Japan at the end of WWII. A "hydrogen bomb" uses that same first plutonium and/or uranium fission explosion to then trigger hydrogen fusion, for 1000 times as powerful an explosion.
They were first tested on Nov 1, 1952 at Eniwetok Atoll in the Pacific. There has never been a hydrogen bomb used in war.
First Soviet Union hydrogen bomb test?
The first Soviet thermonuclear detonation took place on August 12, 1953 at the Semipalatinsk Test Site in the Khazak SSR (now Khazakstan). It was designated Joe-4 in the United States.
The warhead was designated RDS-6 (Reaktivnyi Dvigatel Specialnyi-6), and featured a yield of 400 kilotons (15-20% fusion yield, the rest was fission boosted by fast neutrons). The warhead design utilized a single-stage "layer cake" or Sloika design, so was incapable of being scaled up to a larger weapon like a Teller-Ullam style warhead would be.
Why did scientists Albert Einstein and J Robert oppose development of a hydrogen bomb?
He thought it was immoral to use it. Quotes from Einstein about the bomb:
"We must not condemn man because his inventiveness and patient conquest of the forces of nature are exploited for false and destructive purposes.
"The line of demarcation doesn't lie between scientists and non-scientists; it lies between responsible, honest people, and the others.
"In our time, scientists and engineers carry a particularly heavy burden of moral responsibility, because the development of military means of mass destruction is dependent on their work.
"When men are engaged in war and conquest, the tools of science become as dangerous as a razor in the hands of a child."
What country was the first to use grenades in world war 1?
Germany used the Grenade first in WW1 So germany was the first county to use the grenade
What do mustard gas grenades do?
Mustard Gas unlike Chlorine gas and made severe burns and irritation to the skin. In some cases a lot of mustard gas could burn the eyes and like Chlorine can cause blindness.
Which is most powerful a nuke an atomic bomb or a hydrogen bomb?
An H-Bomb is 1000 times stronger than an atomic bomb. Atomic explosions are based on splitting atoms and is a fission explosion or fission bomb. The Hydrogen bomb (also called H-Bomb) is a Fusion reaction where atoms are forced together.
Atomic bombs were used in World War II, Hydrogen bombs have been tested, but not used in war.
