Damage to structures continues as fires started by the heat of the explosion grow and spread. People continue to fall ill and die due to radioactive fallout.

Was the atomic bomb that hit Hiroshima aimed at a military base?
During World War II, the Second General Army and Chūgoku Regional Army were headquartered in Hiroshima. So there were military facilities there.However due to the large expected amount of damage of the explosion at the altitude of 1,968 feet above the city, there was no need to aim at any specific military facility. Instead the aim point (AP) was selected to be an easy to identify landmark near the center of the city: the "T" shaped Aioi Bridge.
Why was the atomic bomb tested at white sands?
large test area and to see if bomb worked
What was the soviet atomic threat?
A large-scale nuclear exchange followed by a conventional war which itself would involve heavy use of tactical nuclear weapons.
Where do atomic bombs get their power?
atomic bombs get there power from the energy released by splitting an atom. A nucleus is fired into an unstable isotopse such as Uranium 235 and the Uranium is split into two daughter nuclei. A cloud of electrons, along with some energy, is released. Each of the electrons in turn splits another atom, creating a large chain reaction, and this releases enough energy to power an atomic bomb.
Why did the atomic bomb in nagasaki have such a horrific outcome?
The bomb was a plutonium implosion type. The blast was large and the radiation fallout is deadly. Most of the people that died were from radiation poisoning.
Why does the damage continue after the initial explosion of a large atomic bomb?
Damage to structures continues as fires started by the heat of the explosion grow and spread. People continue to fall ill and die due to radioactive fallout.
What cuases the greatest damage in an explosion?
The release of a large amount of energy in a short period of time causes the greatest damage in an explosion. The shock wave generated by the explosion can damage structures, cause injuries, and lead to loss of life. Additionally, the heat and fire produced during an explosion can also contribute to the extent of damage.
How did they make the first Atomic Bomb Manhatton Project?
by dividing an atom leading to a microscopic domino effect creating into a large explosion.
What happens when a atomic bomb explodes?
When an atomic bomb explodes it forms a mushroom cloud, the explosion gives off EMP or Electro Magnetic Pulse, the explosion is huge and can destroy so much for miles, and the explosion gives off huge amounts of radiation so if you survive the explosion you can suffer or die from the radiation after the bomb blew up.
Does an atomic bomb effect the atmosphere?
Yes, an atomic bomb explosion can have significant effects on the atmosphere. It can release a large amount of energy and heat, which can create powerful shockwaves that disrupt the surrounding air and cause massive fires. The explosion can also release harmful radiation into the atmosphere, posing serious health risks to living organisms.
What is an explosion and is it deadly?
An explosion is a a violent blast that ultimately destroys an object or objects around it. An explosion can be deadly within close proximity of the blast and if the explosion is large.
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.
Name three events that can couse a tsunami?
An earthquake beneath the sea A large impact, for example a large meteor striking the sea A large explosion, for example the Krakatoa volcanic explosion
How does an atomic bomb release nuclear energy?
An atomic bomb releases nuclear energy through a process called nuclear fission, where the nucleus of an atom is split into two smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy in the form of heat and radiation. This chain reaction of splitting atoms leads to a massive release of energy that results in the explosion associated with atomic bombs.
What damaged could be caused if a 30 inch pipe with a 9 bar pressure burst?
That is about 130 PSI. A pipe THAT large at that pressure is storing a large amount of energy. A break would be likely to simulate a modest size explosion, with damage to whatever is close by.
How is Atomic Bomb related to Nuclear?
An atomic bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that uses nuclear reactions to create an explosive force. It relies on the process of nuclear fission to release a large amount of energy in a very short time, resulting in a powerful explosion. Both atomic bombs and nuclear weapons involve harnessing the energy released from splitting or combining atomic nuclei.
What causes the tunguska explosion?
The Tunguska explosion in 1908 is believed to have been caused by the airburst of a large meteoroid or comet fragment about 3-6 miles above the Earth's surface. The resulting explosion, estimated to have been around 1,000 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, flattened an estimated 80 million trees over 800 square miles in remote Siberia.
