Why did the desert was chosen as a place to teast nuclear bombs?

Basically the desert is a wasteland and there arn't any people, animals or plants living there apart from a few things like cacti and lizards, so this would make a suitable place to test nuclear weapons.
Also things like atomic bombs can disrupt the earth's magnetic field causing an E.M.P (Electro Magnetic Pulse) effect to cities or towns in the nearby radias, depending on the size of the explosion.

How are atomic bombs used today?
Atomic bombs (and all nuclear weapons) are not actually used in the sense that a country actually drops/fires/launches a nuclear weapon against a foe. Their massive destructive potential has caused them to be moved from a purely military device into the political arena. Nuclear weapons today are political tools - that is, the possession (or implied attempt to possess) these weapons is considered a political statement, rather than a military one. As such, the quantity, location, and capabilities of a country's nuclear weapons take on significant political meaning. The ability to potentially use such weapons adds a completely new dimension to international relations. Primarily, nuclear weaponry is used for three purposes: to discourage the use of any Weapon of Mass Destruction (nuclear, chemical, biological, toxin, etc.) by threat of immediate retaliation via nuclear arms, as a moderating influence on aggression by other nuclear-equipped countries, and as a brake (via implied threat) on non-nuclear countries attempts to acquire nuclear weaponry themselves. The second of the above has been the most successful political use, while the first has seen modest success as a strategy, and the third is mostly a failure.
When did they drop the h bomb?
As far as I know, it didn't. All H-bomb detonations took place in peacetime, and I am unaware of any dropped from a bomber or delivered by a missile by any country. Two less-destructive A-bombs were dropped during WW2, on August 6 and August 9, 1945, by bombers of the US 509th Bomber Group. They were the only two nuclear bombs ever used in war. The first H-bombs were tested after the war, in 1946.

Why deserts was chosen as a place to test nuclear bombs?
Desert is one of the places used to test nukes. It has chosen because they are unpopulated regions, radioactive waves are progressively atenuated as they go farther, and the observation of the bomb being detonated can be filmed in a safety tower. Other place to test is in the underground.

There are many, many types of bombs. Pipe bombs, nuclear bombs, thermonuclear, you name the way of blowing people up, it exists. There is no one formula for doing this. Wiki is not the place to ask for a "precise procedure". Doing this would violate a number of laws, and get you and the person who answered it in a boat load of trouble.
Why used nuclear bombs at war time?
They're very destructive and last for a long time, In other words, once you've blown up a nuclear bomb somewhere, it will still be dangerous after the initial explosion has taken place. When a nuclear bomb is used there would be nuclear radiation that would still be present where the bomb hit for quite a while
