Detonating a Nuclear Bomb at the Bottom of the Ocean

in education •  7 years ago 

I found this interesting video on Youtube. It trys to explain what would happen in a nuclear bomb was detonated at the bottom of the ocean, the Marianas Trench. It seems very over exaggerated, but some of it might be true. Watch the video, and leave a comment. What parts could be real, and what parts are complete BS? I don't think a nuclear bomb is powerful enough to produce 400 foots tsunamis, but I do think it could trigger earthquakes around the world. What do you think? Could a 50 megaton explosion piece a hole through the earths crust? Give us your opinion.

There is no 1 size of nuclear bombs. No bomb that has been detonated thus far would be capable of it I don't think, but I believe Russia has some huge 100 mega tonne nuke that they have never detonated a full one of. 50 mega tonnes has been done and i'm pretty confident there is no hole anywhere near going through earths crust.

If they went to the bottom, and drilled a kilometer into the earths crust, then I'd be worried. You don't want to open up a volcanic fisher. I imagine the immense ocean pressure would dampen the explosion, and you wouldn't get a large tsunami. You might trigger some small earthquakes around the world, but I don't think it would be catastrophic. Thanks for the comment. I'll following, and i'll give you a few upvotes on your blog, when my voting power recharges.

Thanks, but upvoting my comments here is enough. I think that blog will be getting abandoned, my youtube vid's are getting less views than my other channel that was just me playing computer games which is totally backwards to what I thought would happen but, if people would rather watch me play games than write reviews on crypto i'm not going to argue lol! I certainly know what videos I would rather make.

never heard about this before. But everything could be possible.
