What Will Happen if Indo-Pak Have a Nuclear War?
War can have disastrous consequences on the world. It is worse when it is a nuclear war. Watch our new video that gives a detailed explanation on the effects of Nuclear weapons on the world.
For years there has been a lot of tension between India and Pakistan. India Terrorist activities in Pakistan that attack India has been one of the main reasons for the Indian government to be aggressive with Pakistan.
Pakistan has always wanted control over J&K and because of this the border of India Pakistan witnesses a lot of firing. In August the Indian government removed Article 370 and converted J&K into a UT. By doing this, the Indian government took away the special powers given to J&K. Now the laws that are applicable to other Indian states will be applicable to J&K as well. Pakistan was very angry because of this. Since then Pakistan has continued threatening to go to war with Pakistan and has even threatened to use Nuclear weapons.
A research was carried out by the University of Colorado Boulder and Rutgers University. The research focussed on what would happen if India and Pakistan had a nuclear war. In their study, researchers studied what would happen if India and Pakistan started a Nuclear war in 2025. What they found was very shocking.
Today, India and Pakistan each have about 150 nuclear weapons each. By 2025, both the countries will have more than 200 nuclear weapons. If there is a war and if nuclear weapons are used, it will be very dangerous.
9 countries in the world have nuclear weapons. However because of the problems between India and Pakistan, they are both in a competition to increase their nuclear weapons. A nuclear war between India and Pakistan can kill 50-125 million people in less than a week. This is more than the total number of people that died in the 6 years of World War 2. Each nuclear weapon could kill 700,000 people.
The nuclear bombs after exploding, will have a horrible effect on the environment. Let me tell you about it.
Nuclear bombs are very different to normal bombs. When they explode it generates a lot of heat and there is a big explosion. If there is a war, the research said that the fire created by the nuclear bombs will release 16 to 36 million tons of black in smoke which will enter cover most of the earth's atmosphere. The [Box 04 black smoke will absorb the sun’s rays and become hotter. When you switch on the AC you may notice that the floor is always very cold. This is because when the air becomes cold, it becomes heavy and settles at the bottom. Which is why the floor becomes cold. Similarly, when the air becomes hot, it becomes light and moves around spreading its heat. The same concept applies to the smoke that becomes hot. It will become light and spread all over the earth’s atmosphere.
Because of the heavy smoke, sunlight reaching the Earth would reduce by 20 to 35% because of this, the earth’s temperature will cool by 2 to 5 degrees Celsius. Rainfall across the world will be reduced by 15 to 30%
Growth of fruits and vegetables will reduce. Fishes and all the things that the oceans give us will also reduce. The nuclear bombs will have dangerous effects all over the world. To change the effects and go back to normal will be very difficult. It will be more than ten years to make earth what it was before. Because of this crores of people will die due to environmental changes and starvation. When a nuclear bomb explodes, it also releases a large amount of radiation. Radiation enters the human DNA and causes cancer in the body. The radiation enters the human body. When people have children the children are born with deformities and the effects are passed down to the next generation.
When a nuclear bomb blasts in an area the entire area absorbs the radiation. Because of which it becomes unsafe to live there. If people live there they absorb the radiation and become very sick. Researchers say that the risk of a country using Nuclear weapons is very high. The nuclear weapon can be set off by mistake, by hackers or by crazy world leaders. They said the only way to prevent accidental usage of nuclear weapons was to completely destroy and stop producing nuclear weapons. eliminate them.
