What would happen if a nuclear weapon exploded underground?
What would happen if something like a nuclear bomb or hydrogen bomb had exploded underground? I don’t mean like a couple feet, but maybe a kilometer underground? What effects would the shock wave have? What else would happen? I just found this to be an interesting question, I’ve never heard of something like this ever happening before.

Go to Nevada. We use to do that.

Something a lot like an earthquake…

Yes, it was routinely done. With more modern seismic technology, they are detectable. But early testing was done underground so they wouldn’t be detected.
