disintegrate laterally into something called the pancake effect. The pancake effect creates even larger a surface area of debris that causes even more stress. This stress causes the meteor to release most of its kinetic energy through this cataract of explosions quickly. During this occurrence‚ the seismic shock produced by the air burst measured 2.7 on the Richter scale. A statement from the University of Western Ontario indicated that the blast triggered by the meteor was equal to 470 kilotons of TNT

Pliny the Younger‚ a young man whose recorded observations of the eruption became one of the most important pieces of history. The material being shot into the air is called tephra‚ and it creates a form similar to the mushroom cloud of a nuclear explosion. Pliny had described this effect as a “pine tree” because of its vertical height; scientists now call it the Plinian column. It began at midday on the 24th of August 79 AD and was approximately 20 kilometers (66‚000 feet) high. From this‚ a shower

The substance that Albert Ghiorso and his co-workers studied was collected on filter paper by drone airplanes which flew through the radioactive explosion clouds. When they studied the substance on the filter paper‚ they had actually discovered einsteinium253: an isotope of einsteinium. There are approximately

If the blowout preventer was tested and appeared “functional”‚ how can the explosion in the rig be explained? Was sufficient testing done or was this influenced by the already behind-scheduled project? * After already flying in a crew to conduct the required cement bong log test‚ how safe did it find the cement binding to be? Did this test influence the cancellation of the recommended test on the day of the explosion? * What was the reasoning behind cancelling the test if it would only cost

The Atomic Bomb The atomic bomb is a powerful‚ explosive nuclear weapon. It is fueled by the fission of the nuclei of specific amounts of plutonium or uranium‚ in a chain reaction. The strength of the explosion created by one of these bombs is equal to the strength of an explosion created by thousands of tons of TNT. The atomic bomb was first created in the early twentieth century. Physicists in the United States and Europe had discovered that the fission of uranium could be used to create
