Although the Hiroshima bomb had lower yield than the Nagasaki bomb, it did more damage because it:

  1. exploded closer to its intended AP
  2. Hiroshima is on flatter land than Nagasaki allowing the blast wave to cover more land, the hills surrounding Nagasaki contained the blast wave limiting the range of damage.

Which is more destructive an atom bomb or a hydrigen bomb?

A hydrogen bomb is more destructive than an atom bomb. A hydrogen bomb releases much more explosive energy through nuclear fusion reactions, whereas an atom bomb relies on nuclear fission reactions. As a result, a hydrogen bomb can produce a significantly larger explosion and more widespread damage.

How much damage can be caused by a nuclear bomb?

The damage caused by a nuclear bomb depends on various factors such as the size of the bomb and the distance from the epicenter of the explosion. In general, a nuclear bomb can cause devastating destruction, including severe structural damage, fires, and radiation exposure, potentially leading to widespread casualties and long-term health effects. The most powerful nuclear bombs have the potential to level entire cities and cause significant environmental damage.


Is the nuclear bomb more powerful than the hydrogen bomb?

Nuclear bomb can mean either fission or fusion bomb. Hydrogen bomb means fusion bomb. The fusion bomb can be built with any yield one wants, just by adding more stages with more fuel. The fission bomb has a theoretical maximum yield that cannot be exceeded.

How is a nuclear bomb different then a nuclear accident?

An nuclear bomb is purposefully release to pulse out damage.

Although it is normally weaker and less dangerous than a nuclear bomb, a big enough explosion or a serious enough nuclear meltdown can break that limit.


How much of an area can a nuclear explosion damage?

The area that a nuclear explosion can damage depends on the size of the bomb and the altitude at which it detonates. A large nuclear bomb detonated at ground level can create a blast radius of several miles, while detonating a smaller bomb at higher altitudes can generate an electromagnetic pulse that can affect a much larger area.


What would happen if you exploded a powerful bomb in the center of a large tornado?

For a massive wedge tornado, anything short of a nuclear bomb would probably not do much. A nuclear bomb would probably disrupt it, but at the same time would cause far more damage than the tornado itself could.
