Can a nuclear bomb cause an Apocalypse?

No, there aren't enough countries with nuclear warheads to cause an apocalypse and no country even matches up to the United States nuclear bombs besides Russia and they have nukes from the 1960 so they don't even really pose a threat because they probably won't even work. Honestly though you don't have to work because if a nuke was fired the U.S. would stop take care of it. I am not saying that were almighty but we are the world SUPERPOWER! and we take of stuff like that. Thats why Iran won't wipe Israel of the map because they know they would be screwed like wise with Israel.


How long will a nuclear bomb taketo wipe out 10 miles of land?

If the question is how long will a nuclear weapon take to destroy everything on the surface of the earth within 10 square miles of the detonation, the answer is dependent on three things.First you must know the size of the weapon, second you must know whether the detonation will be a subsurface burst, and surface burst, or an air burst. Finally you must know whether there are any terrain features such as hills or ridges that will deflect the blast. If all the conditions are all optimum total destruction will take place in a matter of 2-3 seconds. Gamma radiation moves at the speed of light, the fireball is almost instantaneous, and last but not least the blast front must travel out from the point of detonation AND RETURN which is just a little slower. Any one of the three effects are capable of killing living things. The fireball and blast effect are the most destructive of inanimate objects. They all are reduced in direct proportion to the square of the distance from the point of explosion.I would say if you have to die, and you don't know it's coming, that would be as good a way as any. You would never know what hit you.


Can a nuke destroy a country?

Yes. 70,000 people were instantly killed at Hiroshima. Another 70,000 at Nagasaki, 3 days later. Nukes can easily wipe away big islands. Basically, nuclear bombs make extremely powerful reactions that release TONS of energy and they could easily wipe away A LOT of land.


What if the atomic bomb did not work?

This would most likely cause a very intense war with Japan, since they would know that we tried to wipe out 2 of their biggest cities. Luckily, this did not occur, and now Japan is one of America's biggest allies.

How many nuclear missiles would it take to wipe out UK?

It is difficult to answer how many nuclear bombs it would take to destroy England due to the fact that there are a variety of different nukes. It would most likely take around a couple of dozen.


How would you feel if you knew there were enemy missile bases so close to the US?

Its called submarines. They're already there just outside of the 200 mile water border in international waters. Most people just don't care because we have a nuclear arsenal of our own that would punish anyone stupid enough to attack us. Its called a nuclear deterrent. If they wipe out North America, then our mobile nuclear submarines would wipe (the enemy) out.
