The size of the crater created from a nuclear explosion can vary depending on the size of the bomb and the type of terrain it impacts. In general, a nuclear explosion can create a crater several hundred meters wide and tens of meters deep, with larger bombs resulting in larger craters.
A theory that the universe formed in a huge explosion
A terraced crater is a type of impact crater on a planetary surface that displays multiple distinct step-like terraces or rings on its walls. These terraces are believed to form as a result of the collapse of the crater walls during the impact event. Terraced craters are commonly found on bodies with solid surfaces that experience impacts, such as the Moon and Mercury.
big bang: This is the big bang theory
A meteor impact that's big enough to create a crater is likely to extinguish much or most of the biosphere at the impact site. In the 1908 Tunguska event, the impact didn't leave a crater, but the air burst did generate an explosion of "nuclear bomb" proportions, incinerating the landscape below and flattening trees for miles around. An impactor similar to the one that gouged out "Meteor Crater" near Winslow, AZ would likely have sterilized everything within a couple of miles, killed most animals within 5 miles, and devastated the area within 10 miles. Some plants and small animals might survive, but large animals would likely perish due to the utter disruption of the food chain. A really big impact would likely cause climatic changes, cooling the Earth by several degrees, because the dust and debris blasted into the stratosphere would have caused a significant fraction of the energy the Earth normally receives from the Sun to be reflected back into space. This, we believe, is what actually killed off the dinosaurs (and about 2/3 of all life on Earth) 65 million years ago.
The big bang theory does not state that "the universe began with a gigantic explosion." The theory suggests that our universe originated from an infinitesimally small point called a singularity. Since all of space was all localized within this point, the rapid expansion of the universe isn't an explosion. An explosion occurs within space, but the expansion of space itself isn't an explosion. Quite simply, there isn't anything outside of space for the universe to explode into. Thus the "big bang" wasn't big, nor did it go bang. Around the time of the big bang (about 13.7 billion years ago), the universe was much hotter and expanding very rapidly (somewhat analogous to an explosion but by no means an actual explosion).
Some craters are caused by meteorites; for example, the Barringer Meteor Crater near Winslow, AZ, USA is probably the best known big crater. But craters can be caused by volcanoes or by explosions as well. Although, to be honest, a meteor crater is caused by an explosion, too, when kinetic energy is converted abruptly into heat.
A crater did not take out the dinosaurs..... But the crater caused by the asteroid that took out the dinosaurs is about 180 km (110 miles) in diameter.
Depends on yield and height/depth of burst.
One Kia is big explosion
A nuclear bomb creates a big explosion through a process called nuclear fission, where the nuclei of atoms are split apart, releasing a huge amount of energy in the form of heat, light, and shock waves. This release of energy happens very quickly, causing a powerful and destructive explosion.
I guess you mean the crater in Mexico where many think the meteorite that killed the dinosaurs fell. That is the Chicxulub crater, covering almost half of the Yucatan peninsula.
well there has never been a very big nuclear explosion but it probably the pollution after it. Yes it would be the radiation the pollution and would affect the world for years to pass killing everything left in the world
Probably by a big explosion caused by a meteor or a comet
The size of a nuclear explosion can vary depending on the yield of the weapon. The explosions can range from several kilotons (thousands of tons of TNT) to megatons (millions of tons of TNT) of explosive power.
The big bang was a massive explosion caused by particles travelling at very high speed.
Many people actually believe that A large flood killed all of the dinosaurs, A large earthquake caused the crater that engulfed the dinosaurs, or A large volcanic eruption resulted in global climate change., but no. it was actually that of A large asteroid strike resulted in a massive explosion that altered plant life. It created an explosion so big that it basicly wipes out the entire species of dinosours!
The Big Bang event involved an immense amount of energy, estimated to be equivalent to the explosion of billions of nuclear bombs.
