Question

how are icbms different from the first atomic weapons used at hiroshima and nagasaki? check all that apply. icbms are more than a million times more powerful than the bombs used in the war. unlike the bombs used during world war ii, icbms are considered nuclear weapons. icbms can be launched more than a thousand miles away from their target. unlike the bombs used during world war ii, only a limited number of icbms were constructed. icbms are missiles, and the first atomic weapons were conventional bombs.

Explanation:

ICBMs (Inter - Continental Ballistic Missiles) are designed for long - range strikes, capable of being launched from thousands of miles away. The first atomic weapons used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were dropped by aircraft and did not have such long - range launch capabilities. The other statements are incorrect: ICBMs are not a million times more powerful in a general sense compared to the WWII atomic bombs; the WWII Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs were also nuclear weapons; a large number of ICBMs have been constructed by several countries; and the first atomic weapons were not conventional bombs but nuclear ones.

Answer:

C. ICBMs can be launched more than a thousand miles away from their target
