Do nuclear bombs explode before they hit the ground?
It will if it is fused for airburst. This is selected to maximize the area and severity of blast and thermal flash effects.
What are the effects of using nuclear bombs?
A lot of heat, blast waves, and radioactivity. Devastation over a large area. Many people killed or injured, and many who die later from radiation or burns.
What area of technology might be associated with nuclear energy?
The area of technology associated with nuclear energy is nuclear technology. Forms of nuclear technology include nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.
If 10 titan 2 nuclear missiles hit the earth with 100 miles between each blast would mankind be wiped out from radiation or the blast?
Neither, effects would be mostly localized to 1000 mile area targeted. Effects of fallout radiation is unpredictable though due to weather, mostly wind and precipitation. Earth is far bigger.
What is nuclear settlement?
A nuclear settlement is an area which is covered by Nuclear Workers at a powerplant nearby. It is usually full of PHD'S on physics ...
Do nuclear bombs explode before they hit the ground?
It will if it is fused for airburst. This is selected to maximize the area and severity of blast and thermal flash effects.
In what way are nuclear weapons dangerous?
Nuclear weapons are dangerous because they can kill thousands in the initial blast, and leave an area dangerously radioactive for decades. Any who are exposed to this radiation may either die shortly after, or receive cancer.
What term is used to describe an area of land that is smaller that a continent and is completely surrounded by water?
An island is a habitable area of land surrounded by water. An islet is an inhabitable small area of land surrounded by water. A cay (or key) is a habitable small area of land surrounded by water.

Are rats in Jamaica?
Yes. There are various species of rats in nearly every habitable area on Earth.
How big is a nuclear blast radius?
Little Boy was the nuclear bomb detonated over Hiroshima. It used uranium and had an explosive blast equivalent to 12,500 tons of TNT. A 1 megaton hydrogen bomb, hypothetically detonated on the earth's surface, has about 80 times the blast power of that 1945 explosion. Considering the tonnage of a bomb to be contant, The blast radius varies dependent on whether it is a ground burst or an airburst. Further, the height of the airburst above ground affects the radius too. At a height of 1900 feet above ground, Little Boy produced a blast radius of 1 mile; an area of some 4.7 square miles.
What is the only habitable area in Iceland?
Generally only the coastline is really habitable. There are some towns in southern Iceland that are more inland and a handfull otherwere but most towns or settlements are near the coastline or at it.
How far do you have to be to survive fallout from a nuclear blast?
I've heard were ever the nuclear bomb hits, 300 miles from it everything is destroyed. Nothing would be left except some bodies and buildings sadly. I think you should be at least 500-600+ miles away from the hit so if you do survive,your food or water won't be infected from the blast.Fact: I originally upgraded this story, however this user overwrote the true stats of an standard nuclear explosion. To survive an nuclear bomb, ideally be outside of of an 50 mile radius of the inital explosion. If you are within 50 miles, get moving away from the blast zone fast. Move up air. Study wind currents in your area and head where the wind will be flowing to the blast site, not from the blast site or down current. Good luck.
Why are nuclear weapons so bad?
They can blow up earth.Think about Herishima.Similar thing will going to happen if the nuclear weapons are usedNo one has built or will build a nuclear weapon or enough nuclear weapons to "blow up the earth", it would have no military value. However the collateral damage in fallout from any major attack would likely kill far more people than the attack itself, and those results are unpredictable.
What area of technology might be associated with nuclear energy?
The area of technology associated with nuclear energy is nuclear technology. Forms of nuclear technology include nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.

9.5 square miles
