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.

What did the Manhattan project do?
Created the first Atomic Weapon (Nuclear Bomb). And ended WW2 with the dropping of 2 A-Bombs on Japan.
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.
When did Operation Desert Storm take place?
Desert Storm commenced in January 1991 and ended the next month, in Febuary 1991.
Did battle of narmandy take place before dropping of bomb in hiroshima and nagasaki?
That is correct. That event took place a year before the nuclear attacks.That is correct. That event took place a year before the nuclear attacks.
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.
What would be the reaction if 2 neutron bombs and 2 nuclear bombs exploded in the same place?
'BOOM'
Why Nevada was chosen as a place to test nuclear bombs?
Nevada was chosen as a site for nuclear bomb testing primarily due to its remote and arid landscape, which provided a suitable environment for conducting tests with minimal risk to populated areas. The vast desert terrain allowed for extensive testing grounds, while the state's low population density reduced the potential impact on civilian life. Additionally, its proximity to military installations and infrastructure made it logistically convenient for the U.S. government. The Nevada Test Site, established in 1951, became the primary location for nuclear tests during the Cold War era.
Is cesium in atomic bombs?
Cesium is not a typical material used in the construction of atomic bombs. The primary materials used in atomic bombs are uranium or plutonium. Cesium may be a byproduct of nuclear reactions in atomic bombs, but it is not a key component.
What was the main threat to the us during the cold war?
The soviets wanted to invade the u.s with nuclear bombs and destroy the place.
Why did they build the nuclear bombs in the first place?
Defense against the possibility that Nazi Germany might make one first.
Where did the trinity test take place?
The Trinity test took place at the White Sands Proving Ground in New Mexico, specifically in the desert near Alamogordo. Conducted on July 16, 1945, it was the first detonation of a nuclear weapon as part of the Manhattan Project. The site was chosen for its remote location, allowing for safety during the experiment.
Where does nuclear fusion occur in a nuclear plant?
Nuclear fusion does not currently occur in nuclear plants. Nuclear plants use nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release energy. Fusion reactions, in which atomic nuclei combine to release energy, are not yet used commercially for electricity generation.
What did the Manhattan project do?
Created the first Atomic Weapon (Nuclear Bomb). And ended WW2 with the dropping of 2 A-Bombs on Japan.
Where was the first nuclear bomb?
The first nuclear explosion in history took place in New Mexico, at the Alamogordo Test Range, on the Jornada del Muerto (Journey of Death) desert, in the test named Trinity.
What is the precise procedure of making a bomb?
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.
What would happen if hundreds of nuclear bombs hit in one place?
the whole world would die, directly from the blast, the shockwave or nuclear radition. every piece of food would be contaminated so even if you did survive there would be nothing to eat or drink.
