[QUOTE="newjerseyrunner, post: 5494416, member: 553315"] Oh sorry, I didn't see that. Yes, that would absolutely turn some of the sand into glass. That sort of impact will melt absolutely everything at ground zero: sand, rock, metal, people. It'd be in the millions of degrees range. The tremors are one of the biggest advantages to such a weapon. The USA and USSR spent lots of money trying to figure out how to get nuclear weapons deep under their enemy for exactly that reason. The seismic event of an underground explosion extends many many times beyond the damage of the shockwave in the air. [/QUOTE]
