what is the most destructive bomb on earth?

Answer 1

My farts!

Answer 2

The most destructive bomb ever built was Ivan.

Ivan was a multi-stage hydrogen bomb built with available technology, mostly as a demonstration of force. At 27 tons, the single bomb was so large that a plane had to be specially modified just to carry it. They removed the bomb-bay doors so it could hang out the bottom, equipped the bomb with a parachute so the plane would have enough time to get out of the way, and then painted the plane with reflective paint because they thought that even that wouldn't be enough.

Before Ivan, the largest bomb ever detonated had an explosive force of 15 million tons of TNT. Ivan topped 50 (making it 3800 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima). The shock wave from the blast travelled around the entire planet three times before being dissipated. Even if you had been 100 kilometers away from the blast, you would still have suffered third degree burns (and then be hit by the shock wave five minutes later). The mushroom cloud was 40 kilometers in diameter and the electromagnetic pulse interfered with radio for an hour.

Originally, the bomb was going to be built TWICE as powerful, but it was decided that such a device would spread radioactive fallout over a huge area. Which would have been bad PR. So they removed some of the uranium shortly before the test. Even so, no bomb had ever been built quite as destructive since. Most modern weapons go more for accuracy instead of sheer destructive potential.

Answer 3

Global warming. It is caused by man, starts slowly and is ignored by most until it is too late. It will however cause more devastation than all of the other bombs combined. Think of the effect of a one foot rise in sea levels in your life time and two feet with in 100 yrs. Most coastal cities will be in serious trouble and entire island nations in the Pacific will cease to exist.

Answer 4

the most destructive bomb is not man made. it is the earths iron core that may change directions and cause mass volcanic explosion to occur everywhere around the earth. about the size of all the earths nuclear armory going off 100 times.

Answer 5

Nuclear Bombs.

Remember Hiroshimaya which was bombed in world war 2? It was devastating.

Answer 6

mikey b check with your structural geology prof or your stratigraphy and sedimentation one (plate tectonics would also be good). It's been about 30 years since I had the classes but the earth's magnetic poles have flipped many times in the past but I don't believe there is any correlation with massive volcanic deposits or mass extinctions.

Answer 7

A very powerful nuclear bomb maybe?

Answer 8

F bomb?

Answer 9

hydrogen bomb

Answer 10

Hurtful words and actions......... cuz they keep killing and hurting for a long time.

Answer 11
