Photo Library - Craters
Underground testing often leaves visible evidence on the surface in
the form of subsidence craters in varying dimensions. Subsidence craters
are depressions on the surface that occur when the roof of the blast
cavity collapses into the void left by the explosion. The size of the
subsidence crater depends on the yield of the device, the depth of
emplacement, and the geological characteristics of the surrounding soil.
