BOMB Question

I had a question,

When a bomb drops and it explodes, it startes off in one spot, meaning that the people closest to the point of impact will die first and the people furthest last, why is that?THats the word I'm looking for.

THE bombs trajectory (the area it covers)???????????,

A bomb covers more than just the point of impact as it covers more area once it hits the ground .

Can someone fix the sentence above. I think I've conveyed my point but the words I've used are wrong,

Anyone undserstand?

Thanks

I'm not sure I understand, but the terms 'blast area' or 'blast radius' spring to mind. Or perhaps you mean 'the expanding blast/shock wave', 'as the blast/shock wave expands'.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomb: Detonation causes injury and/or death within the blast radius through three distinct yet inter-related phenomena: shock wave (a.k.a. detonation wave, pressure wave or overpressure), thermal wave and fragmentation.
