The size of the crater created from a nuclear explosion can vary depending on the size of the bomb and the type of terrain it impacts. In general, a nuclear explosion can create a crater several hundred meters wide and tens of meters deep, with larger bombs resulting in larger craters.

What is the Big Bang?
A theory that the universe formed in a huge explosion
What is a terraced crater?
A terraced crater is a type of impact crater on a planetary surface that displays multiple distinct step-like terraces or rings on its walls. These terraces are believed to form as a result of the collapse of the crater walls during the impact event. Terraced craters are commonly found on bodies with solid surfaces that experience impacts, such as the Moon and Mercury.
How big were the craters left the comets?
The craters left by comets can vary significantly in size, depending on the comet's mass, speed, and the surface it impacts. Generally, cometary impacts can create craters ranging from a few hundred meters to several kilometers in diameter. For example, the Tunguska event in 1908, caused by a comet or asteroid, resulted in a large explosion that flattened trees over an area of about 2,000 square kilometers, though it did not leave a traditional crater. In comparison, the Barringer Crater in Arizona, formed by a smaller asteroid, is about 1.2 kilometers wide.
What did Astronomers theorize that the universe began in an explosion called an?
big bang: This is the big bang theory
How would the impact of the meteor have affected the biosphere near the crater?
A meteor impact that's big enough to create a crater is likely to extinguish much or most of the biosphere at the impact site. In the 1908 Tunguska event, the impact didn't leave a crater, but the air burst did generate an explosion of "nuclear bomb" proportions, incinerating the landscape below and flattening trees for miles around. An impactor similar to the one that gouged out "Meteor Crater" near Winslow, AZ would likely have sterilized everything within a couple of miles, killed most animals within 5 miles, and devastated the area within 10 miles. Some plants and small animals might survive, but large animals would likely perish due to the utter disruption of the food chain. A really big impact would likely cause climatic changes, cooling the Earth by several degrees, because the dust and debris blasted into the stratosphere would have caused a significant fraction of the energy the Earth normally receives from the Sun to be reflected back into space. This, we believe, is what actually killed off the dinosaurs (and about 2/3 of all life on Earth) 65 million years ago.
Are craters caused by meteorites?
Some craters are caused by meteorites; for example, the Barringer Meteor Crater near Winslow, AZ, USA is probably the best known big crater. But craters can be caused by volcanoes or by explosions as well. Although, to be honest, a meteor crater is caused by an explosion, too, when kinetic energy is converted abruptly into heat.
How big is the crater the took out the dinosaurs?
A crater did not take out the dinosaurs..... But the crater caused by the asteroid that took out the dinosaurs is about 180 km (110 miles) in diameter.
How big of a crater will a nuclear mizzile create?
Depends on yield and height/depth of burst.
How many Kia's frpm a nuclear attack?
One Kia is big explosion
How does a nuke create such a big explosion?
A nuclear bomb creates a big explosion through a process called nuclear fission, where the nuclei of atoms are split apart, releasing a huge amount of energy in the form of heat, light, and shock waves. This release of energy happens very quickly, causing a powerful and destructive explosion.
What is the worst affect of a nuclear explosion?
well there has never been a very big nuclear explosion but it probably the pollution after it. Yes it would be the radiation the pollution and would affect the world for years to pass killing everything left in the world
Where is the crater in Mexico caused by the big bang?
I guess you mean the crater in Mexico where many think the meteorite that killed the dinosaurs fell. That is the Chicxulub crater, covering almost half of the Yucatan peninsula.
How big was the nuclear explosion?
The size of a nuclear explosion can vary depending on the yield of the weapon. The explosions can range from several kilotons (thousands of tons of TNT) to megatons (millions of tons of TNT) of explosive power.
How was Caloris Basin created?
Probably by a big explosion caused by a meteor or a comet
What is the big bang that created space?
The big bang was a massive explosion caused by particles travelling at very high speed.
If scientists were to find a large crater dated around the time of the dinosaurs what might it indicate about their extinction?
Many people actually believe that A large flood killed all of the dinosaurs, A large earthquake caused the crater that engulfed the dinosaurs, or A large volcanic eruption resulted in global climate change., but no. it was actually that of A large asteroid strike resulted in a massive explosion that altered plant life. It created an explosion so big that it basicly wipes out the entire species of dinosours!
How much energy was involved in the Big Bang event?
The Big Bang event involved an immense amount of energy, estimated to be equivalent to the explosion of billions of nuclear bombs.
