	Mushroom cloud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mushroom clouds form as a result of the sudden formation of a large mass of hot low-density gasses near the ground creating a Rayleigh-Taylor instability.
		Although the term "mushroom cloud" itself appears to be coined at the start of the 1950s, mushroom clouds generated by explosions were being described well before the atomic era.
		Inside a mushroom cloud: cooler air is drawn into the rising toroidal fireball, which itself cools into the familiar cloud appearance.
