.
Is the perspective or orientation misleading?

Answer 1

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Potentially, yes. The display of the smaller bombs in the "magnifying glass" display can be very misleading.

2. Yes - the vertical axis labels the tonnage of the nuclear blast while displaying the height of each mushroom cloud.

3. Maybe? While the first number displayed in the vertical axis is 5 (Mt), it is most likely that the 0 is unlabeled rather than non-existent.

4. Yes - images of the mushroom cloud produced by each bomb.

5. Absolutely - the larger display of the smaller bombs can create major conflict in understanding the size of each.
