if a nuclear bomb blast is conducted inside the earth crust than??

Question

what will be
1:effect on the surface of earth
2:wat damage it would cause
3:will it be felt like a light earthquake or it will produce waves and ripples on the surface of the earth..

Answer 1

It's been done. The effect depends upon the size of the detonation.

The first underground nuclear test was conducted on 29 November 1951.[9][10][11] This was the 1.2 kiloton Buster-Jangle Uncle,[12] detonated 5.2m (17ft) beneath ground level.[10] The test was designed as a scaled-down investigation of the effects of a 23 kiloton ground penetrating gun-type device that was then being considered for use as a cratering and bunker-buster weapon.[13] The explosion resulted in a cloud that rose to 11,500 ft, and deposited fallout to the north and north-northeast.[14] The resulting crater was 260 feet wide and 53 feet deep.[13]

The next underground test was Teapot Ess, on 23 March 1955.[10] The 1 kiloton explosion was an operational test of an atomic demolition munition (ADM).[15] It was detonated 67 feet underground, in a shaft lined with corrugated steel, which was then back-filled with sandbags and dirt.[16] Because the ADM was buried underground, the explosion blew tons of earth upwards,[15] creating a crater 300 feet wide and 128 feet deep.[16] The resulting cloud rose to a height of 12,000 feet and subsequent fallout drifted in an easterly direction, travelling as far as 225 km from ground zero.[15]

On 26 July 1957, Plumbbob Pascal-A was detonated at the bottom of a 485-foot shaft.[17][18] According to one description, it "ushered in the era of underground testing with a magnificent pyrotechnic Roman candle!"[19] As compared with an above-ground test, the radioactive debris released to the atmosphere was reduced by a factor of ten.[19] Theoretical work began on possible containment schemes.[19]

Plumbbob Rainier was detonated at 899 ft underground on 19 September 1957.[17] The 1.7 kt explosion was the first to be entirely contained underground, producing no fallout.[20] The test took place in a 1,600[21] – 2,000 ft[22] horizontal tunnel in the shape of a hook.[22] The hook "was designed so explosive force will seal off the non-curved portion of tunnel nearest the detonation before gases and fission fragments can be prevented around the curve of the tunnel's hook."[22] This test would become the prototype for larger, more powerful tests.[20] Rainier was announced in advance, so that seismic stations could attempt to record a signal.[23] Analysis of samples collected after the test enabled scientists to develop an understanding of underground explosions that "persists essentially unaltered today."[23] The information would later provide a basis for subsequent decisions to agree to the Limited Test Ban Treaty.

A subsidence crater is a hole or depression left on the surface of an area which has had an underground (usually nuclear) explosion. Many such craters are present at the Nevada Test Site, which is no longer in use for nuclear testing.


Subsidence craters are created as the "roof" of the cavity caused by the explosion collapses. This causes the surface to depress into a "sink" (which subsidence craters are sometimes called). It is possible for further collapse to occur from the sink into the explosion chamber. When this collapse reaches the surface, and the chamber is exposed atmospherically to the surface, it is referred to as a chimney.

It is at the point that a chimney is formed through which radioactive fallout may reach the surface.

At the Nevada Test Site, depths of 100 to 500 meters were used for tests.

Answer 2

A nuclear bomb would emit dangerous waves that would cause a reaction to the magma and particles of matter inside the crust. This would make a continuous chain reaction of rapid bubbling and bursting, which would eventually pass waves on and on until it reaches ground level or something that would absorb these dangerous waves. It will produce many cracks on the surface due to the bubbling and bursting of the magma, because of the intense pressure cause by the rapid "chain reaction." These cracks would then impact largely on tall and small buildings including sturdy-structured ones with cross-braces. Cross-braces are "braces" that hold the building up, but will make the building wobble during earthquakes to prevent it from breaking. A nuclear bomb launched within the earth would be so powerful that almost nothing can withstand the power of it. The magma would add on the already intense pressure and heat, creating almost a giant flaming fireball Earth with temperatures higher than an inferno. This heat would make the oceans' water boil so quickly that it would blend withe magma instead of cooling it down. An outburst of lethal water and magma would clearly melt all of the things on the earth's surface and just swipe everything without a warning. Since the galaxy is so big, it probably would not make a big impact on it, but it will make almost a second Sun. This impact will increase the temperatures of the nearby planets and if it is hot enough, the other planets could become giant fireballs too! Note: The following in parentheses may or may not happen, but is highly likely if a nuclear bomb was launched inside the earth [In addition, even though this may or may not happen, the water-magma substance might be able to withstand the laws of gravity and space and be able to overflow out of the earth and drift into space. This then, might destroy other things and if it was a star, there might be a black hole created. This black hole then would draw in the "substance" and the substance would create another black hole inside the black hole due to the intense heat and pressure. A "portal" ot another dimension will be created.] In conclusion, the damages on the earth would be deadlier than lethal and it would produce great waves of magma pressure and cause of an earthquake.

Answer 3

1. The Earth plate under which the bomb exploded will shake terribly.
2. It would cause major earthquakes.
3. It will produce waves and ripples on the surface of the earth..

Answer 4

The explosion would generate extremely dangerous earthquakes on the tectonic plates that float on the magma due to the waves caused by the explosion. The earthquakes would create 100 meter tsunami that would flood about 10km of earth from shore. The magma inside the earth will have so much pressure as to cause thousands of volcanoes to erupt instantaneously after the explosions. This eruptions would be thousands of times deadlier than the Hiroshima bomb destroying thousands of habitats. All this volcanic eruptions would create a gigantic cloud of smoke that would diminish only after traveling around the earth for about 3 times which would take yeas and this would impede the earth from receiving sunlight killing millions of millions of life in the earth. Also, the heat inside the seas from oceanic volcanic eruptions will cause a shift in the world's water circulation around the earth damaging the earth's natural cooling system. Temperatures will rise 20 degrees Fahrenheit in all regions of the earth. After 20 years few would have survived and able to tell this story to their sons.

Answer 5

the earth would not explode because they have tested nukes underground or in deserts rather then destroying the environment and making it unlivable for a few hundred years or killing all kinds of aquatic life by an ocean detonation, but because its underground i would imagine tremors could be felt.

Answer 6

No, All you will get is a small flagulation!!!!!!!!!! or maybe a burp, not sure, but something will happend?????????? I think? or maybe if you are having sex the world will rock,,,,,,,,, what do you think????????.
Jelly, can you write some more? Oh please write some more did you know what you wrote? do you really know?......................................If you do remember write some more I am wating w/ bated breath.

Answer 7

it would destory the whole damn world. the core would just explode and no its nothing like the movie the core were they nuke it and nothing happens. it would explode from the inside out
