Air burst
Does not reach the surface, vacuum created collects debris causing radiation fallout
Surface burst
Worst fallout, fireball touching the surface creating massive radioactive fallout
Shallow underwater burst
Small fireball and blast wave, causing water contamination
Deep underwater burst
Similar to shallow underwater burst, but does greater contaminated water
