Atomic cloud – When at atomic weapon is detonated, the chain reaction caused by nuclear reaction heats the ground to an extremely high temperature and causes hot air and debris to rise into a column. Cooler air gets sucked in to the column creating an inward spiralling vortex (the mushroom cap) until it falls back down again, raining radioactive debris. Science Photo Library - Features
