That depends on too many variables to give a simple answer:
- Yield
- Burst height/depth
- Terrain
- Construction of buildings
- Weather
- If burst is subsurface, material around burst (dirt, rock, concrete, water, etc.)
- etc.
Every type of nuclear bomb is different, as well as the circumstances of its use.

Can a nuclear bomb destroy Colombia?
A single nuclear bomb is unlikely to destroy an entire country like Colombia. The impact would depend on the size and location of the bomb, but it could cause widespread devastation and loss of life in the targeted area.
Would one nuclear bomb destroy a city like New York?
One nuclear bomb has the capability to cause significant destruction to a city like New York, depending on the size and location of the blast. The extent of damage would also be influenced by factors such as the type of bomb, altitude of detonation, and prevailing weather conditions. The impact would likely be catastrophic, resulting in widespread devastation and loss of life.
Is an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb more powerful?
The terms "atomic bomb" and "nuclear bomb" are general terms and can pretty much be used interchangeably. That said, there isn't any difference between them, and one is not more powerful than the other in that light.
What is the difference between a hydrogen bomb and a nuclear bomb?
Gunpowder, TNT, C4 plastic explosive, nitroglycerin, etc. all release chemical energy that has nothing to do with the nuclei of the atoms in the chemicals. Any 'bomb' that makes an explosion with nuclear energy is a 'nuclear' bomb. The "Hydrogen Bomb" is one of them. So far, devices have been built and tested that use the atomic nucleus to make explosions in two different general ways: -- "fission" . . . the nuclear energy is released when one heavy nucleus splits into two or more lighter ones. This device is popularly known as the "Atomic Bomb". -- "fusion" . . . the nuclear energy is released when two light atomic nuclei join together to form a single one. This device is popularly known as the "Hydrogen Bomb".
How much would a nuclear bomb destroy?
Depends on the size of the weapon- they come in different yields. Depends too on the blast type. There are three different types of detonations: air, surface, and sub-surface. Each has a different purpose and does different damage. See the link below for a rough idea of the blast area of a one kiloton device. That depends on its yield and height/depth of burst.
