What do you do if you are caught in a nuclear explosion?
There isn't much you can do. Likely die.
How much force generatated from nuclear explosion?
That depends on the yield of the device.
How much distance can nuclear bomb explosion cover?
Depends on the power of the nuke. At the center of the explosion the destruction is total. Farther, damages become less destructive, but the radioactive cloud can travel tens or hundreds of kilometers.
How much power do an average nuclear weapon have?
enough to severely damage an entire city and take millions of lives
How much damage can be caused by a nuclear bomb?
Depends on:yieldburst height/depthconstruction of targettopography of targetif subsurface, material around burstetc.

That depends on the yield of the device.
How much miles of damage can a nuclear missile cause?
The explosion will only take up a square mile or two. The shockwave, will spread and destroy for several more miles. The real destruction is the nuclear fallout. Tons of radioactive matieral being scatered by the wind can spread hundreds of miles.
Why did radiation occur after the atomic bomb hit Japan?
The atomic bombs are nuclear weapons that use a nuclear chain reaction to create a Hugh explosion. The by-product of the nuclear blast is radiation.Atomic explosion is created by setting off a lot of dynamite around a core of nuclear material. The blast compresses the material together and makes it unstable.A hydrogen bomb is a much more powerful bomb. It is the result of a small nuclear explosion that compresses more powerful radioactive material together and thus creating an explosion that is 100 times greater than an atomic bomb.
Does atomic explosion and nuclear explosion mean the same?
This question could be easily misconstrued. While atomic and nuclear explosion mean the same thing, and all atomic bombs are nuclear bombs, not all nuclear bombs are atomic bombs. The more powerful nuclear bombs are hydrogen bombs, and there is a very important fundamental difference between the two. ============================================================== A bomb is fission - the splitting of an atom H bomb is fusion - the joining together of atoms (and much more powerfull)
Why does a nuclear bomb cause such a large explosion?
Because it releases much more energy in a much shorter time than chemical explosives can.
Can an explosion at a nuclear plant such as the Fukushima one in Japan cause an EMP?
The Fukushima plant explosions occurred at the nuclear facility, but they were hydrogen explosions (hydrogen exploding, not a hydrogen-bomb explosion), so no. It would take a much higher release of energy than a hydrogen explosion to generate a significant electro-magnetic pulse or EMP. Nuclear plants can cause significant and very long-term damage when they melt down and impact a lot of people with the release of radioactive material, but are not capable of exploding like an "atomic bomb." Fission and fusion bombs have to be specially designed and engineered to create those EMP-inducing mega-explosions.
How much damage can a nuclear war make?
We have the ability to destroy the world with one nuclear weapon. An entire nuclear war could destroy the entire solar system if we had the opportunity to.
How much distance can nuclear bomb explosion cover?
Depends on the power of the nuke. At the center of the explosion the destruction is total. Farther, damages become less destructive, but the radioactive cloud can travel tens or hundreds of kilometers.
What are the effects of EMP explosion on the body?
First of all, EMPs don't really explode like a nuclear bomb. It releases alot of energy like a nuclear bomb. EMP's do not affect the body... that much.
How did the damage caused by the eruption of mt Pinatubo differ from the damage caused by the eruptions of mt st Helen?
Much of the damage caused by Mount St Helens was blast damage from the initial explosion. This explosion was projected northward out of the side of the volcano, unlike other explosions, which have most of their force directed upward.Most of Pinatubo's damage was caused by ashfall, which was exacerbated by heavy rain from Typhoon Yunya, which impacted the Philippines during the eruption.
How much nuclear bombs can damage?
A very complex question, depending on its yield and dozens of other variables.
