I'm writing a story in a fantasy universe, but for a certain aspect, I need realism. The densest summation of the questions I have are this:
The nature of the sand in the desert should be somewhat like the Mojave desert, except it's in the southern hemisphere (not by choice, I'm working in an established world), and taking place about noon where ground zero would be. I find the idea of the heat of the impact turning some of the sand to glass, but I have no idea how realistic that would be.
If you need any more information about the environment, do ask!
- What would a single rod of kinetic bombardment look like being shot into the dense sand of a desert, visually?
- What angle of shot would be easiest to pull off with... sub-par aiming systems.
- What would the aftermath look like?
