The first two atomic bombs were set of in the atmosphere, they did not make a hole.
Later during the cold war, regulations prevented atmospheric/surface testing and the bombs were set off in deep holes that were pre-drilled in the ground. These holes were as deep as the engineers made them.

This leads to a chain reaction that causes a massive explosion.
