High-altitude Burst
The chromosphere of the sun extends about 10,000 km above the sun's surface. This region is located above the photosphere and is characterized by a reddish glow during solar eclipses.
Altitude is the height of an object or point in relation to sea level. It occurs when you measure the distance above or below sea level at a specific location.
A nuclear detonation that produces a huge crater and a mushroom cloud is typically a high-yield underground nuclear explosion. The explosion occurs beneath the surface, creating a deep crater, and the resulting debris and gases form the distinctive mushroom cloud above ground. These types of detonations are associated with significant destructive power and fallout.
Convection occurs in the atmosphere due to temperature differences between the Earth's surface and the air above it. As the Sun heats the surface, the air near the surface becomes warmer and less dense, causing it to rise. This creates vertical air currents and leads to the circulation of air in the atmosphere.
A high-altitude nuclear burst occurs above 10000 feet, creating an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that can disrupt electronic devices over a wide area. The EMP can damage electrical systems and disrupt communication networks, making it a significant concern for national security.

High-altitude Burst
An underground nuclear detonation creates a crater in the Earth's surface. The explosion occurs beneath the ground, causing the soil and rock to be displaced upwards, resulting in a visible crater above the detonation point.

Epicentre
A high-altitude nuclear detonation above 100,000 feet results in a phenomenon known as high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP). This type of explosion produces an intense burst of gamma rays, which interact with the Earth's atmosphere to create a powerful electromagnetic pulse that can disrupt or destroy electronics and electrical systems over a wide area.

The place on Earth's surface directly above the point where movement first occurs in an earthquake is called the epicenter. This is the point on the surface located vertically above the earthquake's focus (or hypocenter), where the seismic waves originate.
