Instead of testing for warfare purposes, the bomb was intended to test the feasibility of using nuclear explosions for civilian purposes, such as facilitating mining. The Sedan Crater, located in Nevada's Area 51 Test Site, USA, was formed on July 6, 1962, by a 104 kiloton nuclear explosion.
However, since the 20th century, humans have been capable of creating huge explosions forming craters that can be seen in satellite images. For millions of years, craters on Earth were formed by volcanoes or through impacts from meteorites.
