There was a seismic disturbance caused by an explosion, which caused a magnitude of 5.1, similar to the magnitude in the 2013 nuclear test, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. A hydrogen bomb is a weapon that gets its energy from nuclear fission and fusion (it essentially is a combining of the atoms.) The largest pure-fission bomb ever created by the USA was around 500,000 tons of TNT equivalent. Hydrogen bombs are much more powerful, to put in comparison, the largest hydrogen bomb ever detonated had a yield of 50,000,000 …show more content…
