The action that causes both of these different events is friction. Rubbing two sticks together involves friction to create heat, which can ignite a fire. In the case of radioactive atoms, frictional forces can also play a role in the various processes involved in nuclear reactions, albeit in a more abstract way compared to the straightforward action of making fire with sticks. However, the primary answer relating specifically to the concept of creating fire is friction.
Rubbing two sticks together can make a fire. In the right circumstances, radioactive atoms can create an explosion. What action causes both of these two different events?
