Effects of an underwater explosion depend on several things, including distance from the explosion, the energy of the explosion, the depth of the explosion, and the depth of the water. [2] Underwater explosions are categorized by the depth of the explosion. Shallow underwater explosions are those where a crater formed at the water's surface is ...
The underwater explosion also sent 146 million tons of water from the South Pacific Ocean into the stratosphere. [60] The amount of water vapor ejected was 10 percent of the stratosphere's typical stock. [61] It was enough to temporarily warm the surface of Earth. It is estimated that an excess of water vapour should remain for 5–10 years. [59]
Sonoluminescence is the emission of light from imploding bubbles in a liquid when excited by sound. Sonoluminescence was first discovered in 1934 at the University of Cologne . It occurs when a sound wave of sufficient intensity induces a gaseous cavity within a liquid to collapse quickly, emitting a burst of light.
Underwater explosions using dry ice and liquid nitrogen are captured in high definition slow motion by The Backyard Scientist.
Water vapor concentration for this gas mixture is 0.4%. Water vapor is a greenhouse gas in the Earth's atmosphere, responsible for 70% of the known absorption of incoming sunlight, particularly in the infrared region, and about 60% of the atmospheric absorption of thermal radiation by the Earth known as the greenhouse effect.

The underwater environment in flooded caves is a relatively difficult and dangerous environment for exploration. There is a lack of natural light, limited line of sight, a general lack of free surface, and often very restricted space. The water can also be quite deep, and may have a strong flow.
YouTube duo The Slow Mo Guys are no strangers to slow motion explosions, whether it's eggs, capacitors, or levitating apples.In the video above they dial it up to a whopping five million frames ...
Thermal contraction from chilling on contact with water, causing phreatomagmatic eruptions; In terms of activity, there are explosive eruptions and effusive eruptions. The former are characterized by gas-driven explosions that propel magma and tephra. [1] The latter pour out lava without significant explosion. [2]
